Q: I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on this one to realize a substantial loss in my trading account. I also hold a position in my tsfa account and plan on riding this into 2023.
Your thoughts regarding taking the tax loss position at this time.
Thanks

Q: What do you think Iger is going to do to put his stamp on DIS again? He already got rid of Chapek and his lieutenant. Is he just going to do some more re-structuring and stay the course for 2 more years while he picks a successor. Or will he do some bolder moves as he has done in the past? He is perceived as a visionary and has acquired Pixar, Marvel and Fox over the years. What are the odds that he makes a big acquisition in streaming such as NFLX, ROKU or PARA? What are the odds that he sells DIS? Years ago, it was speculated that he had such discussions with Steve Jobs.

Thoughts?

Q: Upon contacting TD WebBroker to purchase an High Interest Savings account ETF, I was informed that they don't broker these products. How does one invest in these funds? Much appreciated.

Q: 5i, What is the real truth on oil supplies?? I follow Eric Nuttall fairly close and he has claimed for the past year that oil reserves are way under what they need to be. He forecasts oil to be up for at least the next 6 years. His philosiphy is that Co. are commited to share buy backs and div. increases as opposed to future
capital expenditures. He goes so far as to say it really doesnt matter what the Saudis do long run.
On the other hand BNN reports this morning the Saudis will increase supply and oil market drops like a rock. Saudis deny report and oil back to 80 dollars. Two extreme views. What do you see as being correct.?? I feel oil and gas will be around a long time. At least until a replacement has been found. Thanks for opinion Ken

Q: ETF's aside, are you able to rank what you feel may be the most attractive REIT types for the long term:
Storage, Cell Towers, Apartment / Residential, Industrial, Retail, Office, Healthcare, Hotel, and any other you might think are worthy of ranking.

I do recognize that there can be good and bad companies within these sub-sectors. Just trying to get a feel for which may be more attractive before drilling down to that level.

Q: I have the above ETF,s in my TFSA in roughly equal weights along with a number of stocks. Is there sugnifcat any over lap here? Where would add first or all equaly? I know your not a fan of covered call ETSs. Any suggested changes or additions?

Q: As STIP and TIP have ceased to pay their previously excellent distributions, I have been looking for alternatives with similar distribution, diversification and volatility characteristics. XHY seems a valid choice; however, can you comment/provide alternatives? Thanks.
