Q: This could be not so bright question but I'll ask anyway. I have been involved in self directed investing for a few months now. My plan is to create a 250k balanced portfolio....watch and learn for a while and then begin to invest the balance of my cash assets. I deployed the first tranche based on the sector allocations in my original plan. However as I have been building the portfolio stocks in various sectors have gone up and down....mostly up thankfully. Here's the question. Should I calculate my sector allocation percentages by the book cost...so I can get a baseline as I add more.....or by their current value. Thanks for your reply

Q: Adobe and the nasdaq look ready to move up ( i recognize my rose colored glasses maybe on) with that in mind where do you think ADBE may rise to ?

IS 700 unrealistic within the year?

( If this year has taught me anything, uncertainty is the only constant especially with the inflation story having held the market hostage the last few months)

Q: Hello, I hold 450 shares of BAM.A in my non registered account. If I understand correctly, on June 28th I will receive 3 shares of the new Brookfield Reinsurance company plus some cash for the fractional share. For tax purposes, will this be entirely considered as dividend (the 3 shares + cash amount)? Thank you

Q: Good Morning,
I am still holding the old NML from years ago when they were involved with the iron ore deposit and Tata Steel in Eastern Canada. I went through the RTO and consolidation and now hold Abaxx Technologies (ABXX). Any thoughts on this company? I see that it's a financial services software company. Is this worth holding?
Thank-you
