Q: I have taken advantage of tax loss selling and have sold all my Canadian telecommunication stocks. At this time I don't feel any pressure to buy them back after 30 days. However, I would like to have exposure to the telecommunications sector for diversity and for the dividend. Could you recommend some non-Canadian alternatives for a long term hold? Many thanks!!! All the best for the holidays!!!
Q: NFI has announced a Recall against its battery supplier XALT and my guess is that resolution of this issue, which does not seem to have made the front pages(?), along with your own comments on Chinese competition might make a significant difference to NFI prospects. What do you think?
Q: AI related spending/margin concerns have hit the market over past week and CLS has declined to below $400, again.
Any concerns ? Do you still expect the stock to trade to $500 over 12-18 months ?
Is it safe to add now or wait for a further pull back ?
Thanks

Q: Hey everyone, I’m developing a Canadian portfolio with XEI as the core. XEI is heavy into energy and financials so as part of my core it will only be 40 to 50 percent of the entire Canadian portfolio. If you could help me by picking stocks from your three portfolios to round out the portfolio it would be greatly appreciated! It really doesn’t matter how many stocks you pick as it’s $10 a trade and will be in the portfolio for a long time (hopefully). The only consideration is that it pays a dividend.
Q: I am changing providers for my RRIF. My understanding is that the process takes roughly a month, during which time thre account is frozen. I am presently about 65/35 equity to fixed income.

Fidelity Canadian Momentum ETF FCCM (FCCM $11.33)
Q: Follow up on a recent question on FCCM and WXM. FCCM has the lower MER. Other differences I see in a simple comparison from my online broker: FCCM is large cap while WXM is mid cap. 5 year returns for WXM is higher, but 3 year, 1 year, and less favor FCCM. Dividend from FCCM is 0.64% paid annually and WXM is 1.26% paid quarterly.
I own WXM in my TFSA (up 55%) along with a selection of stocks from your portfolios. I also own VMO in another account.
How do you view these investment style ETFs (growth, dividend, value, momentum) vs geographic ETFs vs sector ETFs vs others for DIY investors trying to diversify within an account?

Q: Telus just announced *approval* for an NCIB. How does this affect the thinking on possibility of a dividend cut?
If its free cash flow made it barely sustainable before, won't this additional use of funds make a cut even more likely? (Or will they issue more debt/equity?)

Q: A few questions please on Rogers.
Capex:
What direction does 5i see for Capex spending at Rogers over the next say three years? In addition to paying for the remaining 25% of MLSE, will upgrading their cable segment (or some other business need) require large investment and limit debt reduction?
Monetizing their sports assets:
It all sounds great but .... what risks does 5i see to individual Rogers investors, and how serious does 5i feel those risks are, from the controlling Rogers family negotiating a monetization that benefits only them?
Thank you
Edward

Q: Good morning,
SE's downward trend continues and I'm contemplating a sell. I noticed that 5i has not had any questions on it since late October and I'm wondering about your current thoughts. If I choose to replace it, can you give me any three high conviction stock ideas that you feel may have strong momentum or bounce potential from current prices (any sector). Thank you. Brad
