Q: In your reply to the Dan’s June 27 question concerning NTR you said NTR is much larger, and much cheaper (4X earnings). When I look in your Market Data section I see no reference to 4X earnings for NTR. How was the number determined & where in the NTR’s market data do I look for that number. Thanks … Cal

Q: Russia's gas cuts are threatening the world's largest Chemicals Hub in Europe. BASF has said it may have to shut down plants if gas supplies fall further. Assuming this raises chemical prices world-wide, are there any public Canadian or US companies that might benefit? Is Methanex one of them?

Q: Waiting for the other shoe to drop..." Your comments in the last update. Is there formal or informal talk that China maybe in "lockdown" for their own political reasons and to advance their cause in the world? What is your opinion on what is going on with China and Russia, could this be a co-ordinated effort to weaken the "free" world ? Thank you for any input you can provide on this topic.

Q: I am relatively new to investing and started when the pandemic began. Since I started I feel like my learning has been like drinking from a fire hose. More of an education question: now that inflation continues to increase and central banks do what they can to slow it down, I am wondering under what conditions do central banks start to look at reducing interest rates again. I have never been through any of this before so trying to get a better understanding, especially as I look to buy a house at some point.

Q: Hi,

I sold ATA and BYD for tax reasons as I was down on both. My original plan was to buy them back but we are now 30 days later and I'm hesitating as they are even lower. At this point, would you buy them back or look to other (better) opportunities. Would you be able to suggest same sector alternatives if I should look elsewhere?
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
TOI has had a rough couple days. Today as of writing down another 5%. At $62 a share today would you consider this a great buy? Is there any news that is making the stock drop extra bad today compared to some other tech stocks that are rallying some today? Also...even though oil is more in favour in todays market, would you consider selling some of either WCP, BTE, or TVE to buy into TOI weakness? And would you consider TOI a better long term hold than an oil stock?Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hi there, I hold a large amount of my portfolio in these broad based ETFs. I have about 30% in cash. At these levels, would you be adding to these indexes for a long term hold? How likely do you think it is that we would see SPY at 3300 to 3400 range? What would your strategy be to deploy my cash position into equities? Thank you!

Q: Hi! If you listen to Larry Summers from Harvard on Wall Street Week he speaks of stagflation, Fed not raising rates quick enough, and difficulty with getting a soft landing. If you had to create a brand new portfolio today with a tilt towards income and could choose a combination of 16 stocks from either the US and Canada what stocks would you choose?
