Q: Hi, Can you let me know what High interest ETF (highest yield?) you recommend - in US and CDN $.
I also believe there is one High interest ETF, that does not pay interest, but accumulates capital gains, what is it's name and what do you think of it.
Thanks.

Q: Hi — Appreciate the service.

Question about FPR-T, purchased in ~2018 at $21.09 as fixed-income/yield instrument at a time of low interest rates.

Need to generate some cash and am considering selling this achieved-its-purpose stock.

Question: on a scale of 1 - 10, how much (more) upside could I be missing out on if I sell now?

Thank you.

Q: I am a long term owner of AAPL and have done well by it. I am wondering if a switch into GOOG for its projected growth is a better long term holding in your opinion. How would you compare the two? Perhaps the obvious solution is to sell half of AAPL for a GOOG purchase. My other tech names include MSFT, CSU, SHOP, LMN, NVDA and VRT with tech making up 25% of my overall portfolio. Many thanks.

Q: What is a good approach to evaluating risk for a stock investment? I can think of systemic risks, specific company risks, and historical drawdown price risks. Anything else? Is there a way to condense these into an overall risk estimate? Any articles or books on the subject you would recommend for DIY investors?

Q: I've taken a position in Celestica partly based on your reviews. In one of the recent questions about CLS you mentioned a desirable entry point, any guidance on a stop price?
Based on this chart i will set my stop limit just below the 200 SMA at $57.50

Seem reasonable for downside protection?
With the BOC lowering rates i think that is positive for small caps like CLS however i'm still nervous about a broader market decline.
