Q: So I’m thinking if Trump imposes a 15 % tariff on all countries , how is Canada’s competitiveness changed for all countries except the US ?
Under CUSMA 90% of all trade in goods are tariff free. It will be the renegotiation of this agreement in 2026 to be most important.
How’s my thinking? Thanks. Derek

Q: Further to some news commentaries today, do you have any thoughts on market reaction if Trump discontinues trade negotiations with Canada and just imposes a flat tarriff? If that does happens can you suggest some income stocks that are potentially less at risk? Thank you

Q: Hi Peter…According to the Globe the US Treasury will borrow 1Trillion in the 3rd Quarter. Sounds like Trump has given up lifting the governments couch’s seat cushions to fund the deficit. I doubt the Federal Reserve will be able to do much to solve this problem. Seems to be good for gold miners even though they all took it on the chin today. Do you agree?

Q: Good afternoon,

My question relates to the above three stocks that are currently held in my US$ Non Registered Account but that could easily be held in my CDN$ Non Registered Account.

Q1. What are you thoughts on the direction of the US$ value vis a vis the CDN$ value in the short and medium term given the current Tariff situation and president Trump's strong and consistent pressure on the Chairman of the Federal Reserve to immediately lower interest rates by a substantial rate?

Q2. If our view is that the CDN$ may well increase in value when compared to the US$, does it make sense to journal these three stocks from a US$ Non Registered account to a CDN$ Non Registered account?

Thank you and I'll await your sage advice.

Q: Good afternoon 5i;

I have been a holder of the TLT ETF for some time; only a very short period was it in the green. While the yield has been decent, I am now down 14% as the Jerome Powell cage gets rattled.

My question is simply, are the Trumpian risks becoming too much to hold this ETF? I believe he is radical enough to remove Powell, but likely won't and will just continue to make noise. Even the noise is having impact.

If yes, do you have a Canadian Bond Fund you might recommend of similar characteristics?

Q: Can you please compare and contrast these two companies? KTOS has great momentum which makes sense. AVAV had the same until its capital raise a week or so ago. If someone wanted a growth tilted investment in the defence sector with an eye to Trump's bill would you choose one over the other and why? What would your entry point be for both?
