Q: I'm thinking to rotate some profits in BNS, MFC, POW & TD into GSY for a long term value/income and BANK or HMAX to add some extra income.
What do you think of the move and how would you rank BNS, MFC, POW & TD, are all worth keeping a position in?
Of BANK/ HMAX which would you prefer or is there a better name for a banking & insurance extra yield ETF.

I would appreciate if you could compare telus to BCE at the same point before BCE cut it's dividend with regards to similarities / differences , position, cash flow, ability to pay dividend. I am worried that Telus will do the same and cut it's dividend in 2026. Is Telus at the same teetering point or better off ?

Q: Greetings
I currently own 8 shares of Constellation Software with a total cost of $3,877 in my RRIF. I am considering contributing $7,000 to my TFSA for the current year versus leaving the funds as a cash deposit, and I would appreciate your opinion on this decision.
In addition, I hold more than $40,000 in cash and would welcome your perspective on whether it would be prudent to invest a portion of these funds or to continue holding them in a money market account while awaiting further market volatility or unforeseen events.

Q: I am a long time holder of CSU and received a small amount of Topicus shares when they were spun off a few years ago. I am planning to seek the shares as they make up a very small part of my portfolio.
How is the cost base calculated for these shares? Is it based on my CSU cost base? My brokerage account shows a cost of zero which doesn’t seem right.
Thanks

Q: Good morning,
Regarding WTI and expectations for continued price pressures for H1 2026 for reasons we all know well, I want to get your thoughts on China demand for Venezuelan oil. China has been the largest buyer of Venezuelan oil, and following the events of last weekend with Maduro and comments yesterday from Trump regarding the US “taking” ~$2bn in sweet crude from Venezuela, do you think China leans on Iran and Russia for their crude requirements near term? Or do you think there is potential for Canada to play more of a role?
I am at a bit of an inflection point on names like CNQ/Suncor at the moment, and would appreciate your views.
Thanks as always.
