Q: On Sept 7 Dave asked a currency question and your response was: ‘ The US economy does seem stronger, and we think the US dollar will outperform. Also, when investors get scared, and move to a 'risk off' mentality, they move to the US dollar for safety. Generally, we don't spend much time predicting currencies.’
We’ve recently come into some US dollars and are hoping you could provide some direction for us despite your reluctance to speculate. Brian Ackers’ prediction on BNN this week is the Canadian dollar will fall dramatically to 68 cents. We’re not interested in perfect timing but would like to convert some of it within the next 3-6 months. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Should we expect significant dislocation of intellectual human resources for example? What sectors, companies will be less obvious beneficiaries? Are there published discussions of the potential transformations we should expect?
Thanks, Hugh

If you were to remove bonds (AGG) altogether, where would you allocate weighting?

Q: Thoughts on whether or not you think we will have hard or soft landing. If one is a long term investor looking for income/growth what is your advice during this time especially watching areas like utilities/reits go lower and lower? Cyclicals too, not looking good and if we go into a hard landing with lots of bankruptcies things could get a lot worse. Thanks for your insight!

Q: I am curious about investment strategist Edward Chancellor’s idea that a sector with recent huge inflows of capital is quite likely to see an oversupply and price collapse (e.g. perhaps a partial explanation for behaviour of ‘green’ stocks during last several years). How could the average investor obtain data or insight into current sector capitol allocation? In that context, do you see any sectors that currently might be particularly vulnerable, or alternatively at an advantage, within this theoretical scenario?

Q: Hi, I was wondering if I can get your opinion on these stocks I'm holding losses on ATZ down 50%, ENPH down 25%, CROX down 25% and GSY down 20%.
I did tax loss selling last year in late December which bit me hard when the stocks took off in January with me sitting on the sidelines. Should I consider selling any of these now with the intention of buying back in 30 days and harvesting the tax loss? If so which would you suggest selling and which would you buy back? Short of that would you suggest averaging down on any of these instead? Thanks in advance! Take as many credits as you wish.
