Q: Hi Folks,
I am looking to add one of EIF, BAM or AD.UN to my diversified RRSP portfolio. Looking for a safe yield with a little growth. Is there one that stands out for your suggestion?
Thanks

Q: Too good to be true alert: Can HMAX consistently deliver a 13% return using call options? This is near triple the yield on some of the big six bank stocks. It's hard to believe that a 13% return can be consistently delivered. Doesn't seem real. What might the downside be to owning this vehicle? Thank you!

Q: Good evening, 5i team

I appreciate having your thoughts on keeping 2 out of these 5 for a pretty condensed portfolio. I sided with BNS & CM among the big 5. Thank you!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have owned this bank for several years and am aware of all their problems. I know they are in transition and restructuring. I realize they are at risk but am wondering if at this point it could be viewed as a possible contrarian play. It seems so cheap to what I paid in the past that I am thinking that maybe I have nothing to loose in buying more and at least recovering some of my money back. Of course that means that they will survive and not go bankrupt...even a take over might lift the value. Or do you think I am just in dream land? Thanks for your opinion as usual.

Q: "Thomson intends to return "at least $2 billion, which will be combined with a share consolidation or reverse stock split", to be funded by proceeds of the sale of LSEG shares later in 2023."

Do you have more information about this reverse stock split and how it might affect investors who currently hold the stock. Is it in an investors best interest to purchase more shares or wait to see what the actual transaction will be.

Thanks for your usual great service, Len

Q: HI guys

Wondering if you were looking at buying an insurance stock today and hold over 5 years looking at some dividends but mostly total returns would you buy Intact or Sunlife? Do you see a stronger management team at either?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: I hold these three and I'm wondering about consolidating into one. What would be your pick or is it a reasonable strategy to hold all three for diversification?
