Q: Received these in the spin out from the units. Brookfield units are long term; held in my RRSP. ( turning into RIF in 2022 ). Considering the premium on the corps, would you sell and reinvest back into the units?
Thanks, Derek

Q: I would like to get your opinion on where you see the markets headed between now and the actual release date for a vaccine? I can’t think of any catalyst to drive the markets higher considering they have recovered all losses since March.
Thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I own AQN, FTS, TRP.

I am trying to put into perspective the relative market share (whatever the appropriate metric is?) of Renewable Energy vs Traditional Energy. The recent surge in renewables has, I'm sure, accelerated the transition from traditional to renewable. I am wondering how far into the future the oil industry has (20 years?)?

While I have no data, I suspect if we broke down the various energy subsectors into Renewables (solar, hydro, tidal, wind) vs Gas vs Oil, that Renewables would currently make up roughly 10-20%? Can you please give me the current breakdown vs where we are forecast to be in 5-10-20 years?

Thanks...Steve

Q: What is your take on the move by Telus into health data management and now agricultural data? Is this a long way from their core business? Do you think they will be able to compete with those already in the precision ag space (Ntr for example)? Most importantly, if I already own BCE, are they also getting into these sorts of data management activities, or should I be adding T to my portfolio?

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I hold these stocks in my RRSP : ATD.B, BCE, CCL.B, ENB, KXS, LSPD, MG, PAT, RY, TRP, and T. I was thinking of removing CCL.B, I've held it for 2 years and am down about $400 on it and replacing it with AQN for the dividend. Any thoughts on this move or what might you add with a better dividend or better growth. Thanks, always appreciate your insight. Nick

Q: Hi,

I hold a 2.5% position in NVDA after selling half to lock in my original costs. I'd like to pick up another high growth chip maker/developer/fabricator, and the listed companies are on my watch list. Ideally the company would have a great balance sheet (net cash), a pipeline of great products and great opportunity for growth - no dividend needed. Can you endorse one or two and/or recommend something not on the list?

Q: Given the current environment, No economic growth and slow downs in everything including resource companies, (mining, agriculture, etc) because of the pandemic. Are higher prices for commodities not coming across the board? Would this not be considered the set up for Stagflation? Moreover, how will global liquidity by all western governments contribute to this?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Regards.
