Q: Hello
I am trying to get my head wrapped around digital currencies. I think I understand the premise of bitcoin but am confused on the purpose of sovereign nations having their own digital dollar. What is the difference between the two?

Q: Good Morning,

I have recently retired and need to improve yield. The above noted holdings have a low yield or have not performed well.

Can you please rate from first to sell down to last to sell and possibly provide some basic reasoning.

Thanks very much.

Q: I have modest positions in these two holdings and am thinking of selling the Choice prop. REIT and buying more TXF. Do you have an opinion on this move. I recognize that they are very different holdings but my reasoning is as follows.
Chp has a nice dividend but very little growth. Txf has now dropped in price to a point where the downside potential seems more limited than its upside potential. It also pays a dividend that is enhanced by the covered call strategy. I know you prefer to own tech companies directly (which I do) but have also found Txf to be a way to own a basket of tech that would be hard for me to reproduce in my own portfolio. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Everyone,
My investment strategy is to hold long term and hold the best of the best. I have not sold any of my tech stocks but I have recently been a buyer. The only thing that has changed in the last six months is the price people are willing to pay - for each seller there is a buyer! The noise will pass someday - I don’t know the day but it will pass.

Q: HI!
In an income seeking portfolio, if one has a portfolio that is overweight financials, do you think it makes sense in the current environment to lighten up and add to pipelines and utilities due to the geopolitical events and risk of recession down the road. Thought in rate rising environment assets that benefit from rising rates were in favour but it seems telcos, utilities, and pipelines are moving more now. Obviously with price of oil, increase in pipelines is understandable and clearly yield curve is playing a role. What are your thoughts on whether increasing rates will eventually hurt utilities/pipelines. Thank you!

Q: Hi Team,
I have been watching TOI closely. Recently (today for example most my tech are down 5-8% range). Yet TOI is up 3% as of writing this. It seems to have great support around the $85 level. Do you think that the bottom may be close to in for TOI, or is it just bouncing around until the next leg down do you figure? I know this is only your best guess, but value your opinion. I guess what I am looking for is..is it time to add to this name? Also...could you throw in some best conviction names either Cnd or US that you think are stupidly oversold right now that you think would be great buys for a 5yr plus hold? Thanks!
Shane.
