Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter, I have a TFSA portfolio with 15 stocks in it and was thinking of adding TRI to the list. In order to do this I would have to sell 10 shares of my RY and 7 shares of my CM which together generate a 78.60 dividend a year. The new position in TRI would probably be around 10 shares and a 1% weighting in the portfolio giving me a divided of 23.60 a year. Is losing the difference in dividends of 55.00 worth adding TRI, does doing this make sense in the long run. Thanks

Q: Regarding cash on the sidelines, I would be considered an agressive investor, retired, 100 % invested in equities usually, bias towards smaller growth and tech companies. Recently raised close to 15% cash, sitting in mm funds now. After the raise, the amount I have invested in stocks is the same as early July. Not sure what this cash will be used for, took some profits because from past experience " when it seems to good to be true", a shoe will be dropping sooner than later, maybe. I didnt raise cash waiting for a pull back to deploy, might happen, but wasnt the motivation. Guessing I'm not the only guy in this position. My question, in a scenerio where the US dollar and equties drop in tandem for a prolonged period, what investments would prosper?

Q: Hello, do you have any plans to add a comparison option within that chart display when viewing a companies profile? This would be very useful when comparing different companies within the same industry and aid in researching companies on my buy list. Also, would be extremely helpful when comparing a CDR performance with its US listed twin to determine the impact of currency hedging on overall return over a period of time. Thanks for the great service that you provide.

i would like to get your opinions on what investors should do given possibly an inevitable market correction.
many portfolios have gone up over 25% this year, which likely is not sustainable

should we move to bonds, if so where etc

Thank you in advance

Q: Hello Peter,
These two stocks are the dogs in my portfolio and am not sure they will recover in a few years to get my money back. I was thinking of adding to BN, but was wondering if gold would be a better choice. I am just worried as gold is quite high and it could do the same as two i own when the whole world was talking about green energy. Gold could do a reversal .Instead of adding to BN, what would you recommend for gold exposure.. any thoughts please? Also, any comments on why Lumine group continues to slide? Appreciate it

Q: I have benefitted from your service and am happy I discovered it. It has enabled me to buy stocks you have a high conviction in while there is still significant upside.

The additional area that I think would benefit subscribers is to advise when you are cooling on previously recommended stocks.

In some instances, I have held recommended stocks well past their best before date, resulting in losses where there were previously gains.

Some old flavour of the day stocks that come to mind are ecn, goos, toy.

I know you actively manage the model portfolios, and that it's ultimately my responsibility to manage my own portfolio, but I know it would help me (and perhaps others), to understand in a more timely manner when a high conviction stock not in the model portfolio moves from a Strong Buy to a Hold or Sell.

I'm identifying a need, but don't know how this would work. Thanks for considering.
