Q: Today you responded to a question comparing CVD to CPD. You discussed the potential capital gains of both, but you did not compare their income. Income from CPD is treated as dividends, and so takes advantage of the dividend tax credit. It occurred to me that CVD distributions would be treated strictly as income and so would not be as tax efficient as the income of CPD in a non-registered account. So would you agree that to maximize income, CPD would be be the best choice? Thank you.
Q: What do you like about DBO? As you made room for this by removing CXI, I assume that you must really like this name.
Am I right in understand that the technology needs to be integrated into a film during the production process and can be quite labour intensive? Will this make it difficult for them to get a wide adoption of the technology?

Q: Why would Concordia agree to enter into discussions with Blackrock (or others) if they have confidence in their ability to integrate recent acquisitions, roll out newly-acquired drugs across a larger geographic area, and generally execute on their business plans? Doesn't it suggest management see insurmountable issues ahead in one or more areas? Thank you for your comments.
Q: Hi team, in the growth portfolio I am overweight with IWO, about 14% and down 10%. My thoughts last year were to possibly take advantage of a drop in the CA $. That strategy didn't work. Should I sell some and how much or hold?
Thanks for the good advice.
Q: Hi, I’m a young professional and just getting started in ETF/stock investing. I’m hoping that you can recommend one Canadian ETF, one international ETF and one stock (preferably one of the big banks or another high dividend paying option). My risk tolerance is medium considering that I may want to sell in 1-3 years for a down payment on a house. Thanks!
Q: From the growth portfolio Ihave:AVO,GUD,XTC,DRT,EFN,PLI,BOS,PUR,TNC,IT,CXR,SH,KXS.
Would you sell any of these to replace with your recent additions DBO and/or RRX.
Thanks Peter.

Q: Just a follow-up to my previous question: Yes, I understand I have to click "daily" or "weekly", whatever my preferred option is. However, the question remains: are these questions actually sent to our inboxes, via email, or are they simply filtered into the "My Watchlist" section? If they are meant to be sent to us directly, I am not receiving them. Thanks.
