Q: I am looking at what to do with cash in my TFSA once cash from PHO is available. (nice gain -thank you !)
Shown below are existing positions in my TFSA that are in negative or small positive territory. My portfolio has a good weighting in tech, so staying in that sector not necessary. Would appreciate your thoughts on which of these (if any) you would choose to add to and in what priority. As always, thank you .
QST ( -24%, currently 0.8 % of total portfolio)
XBC ( -32%, currently 2 % of total portfolio)
AT (0%, currently 1.25% of total portfolio)
EGLX (+4%, currently 1.45 % of total portfolio)
MRS (+4%, currently 0.3 % of total portfolio)
U (-25%, currently 1.4% of total portfolio)

Q: I seems to me that LNF is (or has been in the 6 months I've owned) more volatile than any of my other holdings, going up or down frequently as much as 2 - 3% on a daily basis, and often in the absence of news.
What might cause this? I have no particular concerns (unless you tell me I should have <g>) and am not considering selling, but am curious.
Is it because of their small size/market cap, relative to my other holdings (banks, BCE, Telus, Enbridge . . . ), because their shares are relatively thinly traded, or something else? It's almost enough to make one sell on the up days and rebuy on the down days, since they're so close together time-wise and so far apart price-wise . . . just kidding!

Q: Peter,

Yesterday you answered my question on the Loblaws preferred stock. You gave different redemption dates. Where do you get this info? Where is the best place for a DIY person to find it?

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Would appreciate some guidance re bitcoin, especially the many ads that pop up in email. Is the rags to riches claim legitimate? Do the celebs - Trudeau, Connor MacDavid etc know they are advertising this item? Is bitcoin on the TSX?
Thank you for your insight,

Q: Reko has just announced its best quarter in almost 5 years. It was driven by increased revenue and improved operational efficiencies.
Reko continues to buy back its shares and has a “hard” book value of $7.74 that is probably understated given the real estate the company owns. The balance sheet is pristine with over $3.35 in working capital. Although the Reko family controls 2/3 of the shares what would you consider a fair value for the shares if it was privatized or as a continuing public company?
