Q: I understand that the Alberta governments decision to restrict oil production has had the desired impact of increasing the price of Canadian heavy crude but in turn has had the unexpected impact of making shipping oil by rail uneconomical. - volumes being shipped are down dramatically in the past few weeks. What portion of CNR earnings relate to oil shipments? Do you think that this will materially affect CNR Q1 earnings, and if so, is that already reflected in the current share price?

Q: First I want to just thank-you for making me a better investor not just with your recommendations but with your approach. Covalon has. in Appendix B of their annual statement included the notice of the change of auditors. The 'resignation' of BDO is, as it turns out, at the request of Covalon. We are also informed (elsewhere) that there will be no vote on the financial statement. I have gone through about as many of their recent Sedar filings as I can take and perhaps I am reaching here, but is this normal practice to you? Any red flags?

Q: In my portfolio I have following Canadian equities: AQN (4.9%), BCE (4.78%), BNS (4.64%), WXM (4.5%), SIS (3.8%), BEP (2.68%), MG (2.29%), KXS (2.03%), PBH (1.94%), MX (1.92%), COV (1.87%), TSGI (1.76%).

I have a full positions worth of cash I would like to add to my Canadian content and was wondering on your thoughts as to adding to one new stock (ATD.B, WSP, CCL.B, other suggestion), 2 half positions, or adding to my existing positions.

I have a 20 year time frame and comfortable with some risk.
Thank you.

Q: Hello team. I have some cash to add to my TFSA. My current sector allocations are:
Cons cyclical. 23.36%
Technology. 19.81 %
Financial Services. 16.93%
Energy. 12.6 %
Healthcare. 10.02%
Industrials. 9.86 %

All shares are on the TSX/TSXV exchanges. Which sectors are over represented, under-represented or missing ? Please give me some suggestions to add to the under-represented sectors and some to start a non-represented sector so I can balance a bit.
Thank You
Clarence

Q: This is the 4th. Quarter that Absolute beat the forecasts. Would you be buying into the strength?
This growth story has a 4% dividend which is a nice topping on the cake.
I am thinking of a 2% to start.
What is your price forecast?
