Q: I own all of the above in roughly equal weights in my TFSA. I am attempting to replicate your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I am also trying to get more defensive. I think I am overweight in the Info Tech sector. I am looking at a 5 year hold. I have cash to buy another position. What would your advice be - hold the cash or make a purchase. If purchase what would be your recommendation for defensive position?

Thanks for your help.

Q: I'm curious how you would adjust your strategy, if at all, in terms of opportunities, signals, cautions or things to watch for, as we head into a 6 month period leading up to the federal election.

Q: Good morning,

Two questions this morning. Both are would you make the switch?

I have JNJ that I bought at the $65.00 range back in 2011I think. Would you sell and switch it to ABBV?? Or stay the course?

Same goes for PPL. I have owned it for quite a while and it has gone up nice. Would you switch it to IPL or stay the course?

Thanks
Jimmy

Q: Are FSV, CIGI, SIA, and CSH.UN considered to be REITS? I would like to increase my REIT exposure and I would appreciate recommendations on 2 or 3 that you believe to be reasonably priced now for growth rather than income. Do you consider ownership in property to be counted as part of an exposure to REITs?

Q: In response to a question this morning regarding ZQQ, XQQ, and HXQ, you stated that the fees for HXQ are lower than the other two. Are the swap fees included in the overall fees? Do the swap fees cause a drag on the return of HXQ?
Thank you.

Q: I am a somewhat conservative investor. I've avoided the pot stocks until now. But a couple of weeks ago I finally decided to dip a toe into things and buy VFF. My theory being that even if the pot growers are jostling for position, and even if many won't survive, the people who rent them greenhouses will do well.

I'm taken aback by this thing. I bought it (0.5% of my portfolio) on Feb 1 and it's up 71%, which to me seems insane. Yet when I check it on Stockcalc it still shows it undervalued by over 55%.

I guess my question is - do I dare add to my position, now approaching 1%? What kind of risk evaluation would you make on VFF as opposed to 'normal' stocks?
