Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have the above stocks in my TFSA and they are all down and smaller positions. I also have GSY, KXS, SHOP, TOI, ECN, SIS, SU, MEG and ENB in this 300K TFSA (thanks to SHOP and 5i). I am wondering about topping up 2-3 of the above down stocks or something new with this year's contribution. My usual approach has just been to top up the losers but this market has me struggling for ideas. Would you add to any of the losers above or do you have 2-3 new suggestions for me. Thanks.

Q: In the end of quarter conference call, the CEO referred to some exposure to Crypto as one of several economic factors which impact their business. He offered it had some impact but did not disclose details and none of the analysts asked for specifics. I am inclined to believe that Crypto has something to do with the new lows in the stock. Many macro uncertainties in Europe especially and exposure to a rising US$ are also important potential negatives. What do you think about the Crypto impact? I am inclined to think there is too much uncertainty to buy in - even given the stock is at an all time low. What do you think?

Q: I’d like to ask you to speculate on if and when Telus International might initiate a dividend? I’m assuming it is likely to happen one day? I know that you like to see that first dividend established. In your experience would it be unusual before a certain number of years have passed after being listed? Is there some consistent level of profitability required over a given time usually, or any indicators/predictors to go by? Thanks for your insight.
