Q: Good Morning
I own both NVU.UN and D.UN. I am down 15% and 17% respectively. Can you tell me for each stock whether it is a buy, hold or sell.?
What is your view on the safety of their dividends?
Thank you

Q: I have a question about 1714,Hi,I would like to diversify out of Canada with a etf. If I bought VGG in my cash account,would I have to fill out a U.S. Tax form,or would it be included in my Canadian tax return? I file my own taxes and not interested in filing U.S.taxes as well.
Would Vgg be good for income 3-4% and a little growth or could you recommend something.
Thanks,Brad

Q: The safest of financials have rallied a lot (big banks). I assume that investors will start going into the riskier financials. What do you think about buying a 1/2 position in a broker? Gluskin Sheff pays a 5% dividend, however there is that lawsuit overhang, so, I'm tilting towards Canacord Genuity. With the strength in the materials sector, do you expect $CF to start getting more contracts from that industry? I believe that's the core of their business? I could wait a quarter or two, but those stocks move very fast and my error in the past has been buying when everyone likes a stock (2014), rather than the other way around (summer 2016). Trying to change this, but as safely as possible. Thank you!

Q: I currently own Loblaw (L), ADW.A, and ECI in the Consumer sector. I would like to add PBH to give me two holdings in each of Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary, but I suspect CTC.A is a'safer' pick. So I am debating between the improved diversification by taking PBH versus the 'safer' choice of CTC.A. Which should I add? I am looking for steady dividend growth with holdings that might hold up better in down/bear markets. Thanks as always.

Q: Pivot announced has conditional approval to list on the TSX as of Dec. 19. With a share price of only 41 cents, would this be permitted or do you expect a share consolidation to occur? Also, with a market cap of only $70MM, does this really qualify for TSX listing? Dividend at 1 cent quarterly is 9.6%, which is certainly attractive. Do you have any further thoughts since the last couple of questions on this stock?
