Q: Today, on a risk scale of 1 to 10, 10 being high risk, where would you place a portfolio of 3 parts vbal and 1 part vcns for an 89 and 83 year old couple? Funds should never be required for use, other than being transfered as an inheritance. If wanting to decrease risk a bit, would a one year gic for say 25% be the best idea or?

Q: I have held these companies for some time but I am getting impatient. The three year return for BIP is approximately negative 10% while the three year return for BEP is approximately negative 40%. These stocks as you well know are part of the Brookfield family and are generally highly recommended. Do you see a positive future or is it time to get out . Your comments would be appreciated. Thank You.

Q: Can u pick your 3 best choices and why for a long term hold in this market area? Is it too concentrated to own all of them? Are there any CDN examples of these home builder companies you recommend?
Q: Just adding on to the last question on NBLY. Since the arrangement has been approved, would it not be a smart play to purchase shares at around the buyout price in order to have access to the CVR rights? It looks like you would get your investment returned within a week when the deal closes and you could await the result of the CVR at no cost.

Q: With increasing power demand (AI, EV's, data centers, etc.), what positive or negative impact does this have on BEP.UN and FTS ?
Are there any Canadian REIT's that are currently investing in the apparent demand for data centers - perhaps DIR.UN or GRT.UN ? I know that BIP.UN is now investing in this area.

Q: Do you see ATD as priced-for-perfection right now? I increased my position after the hickup of ATD-Carrefour in Jan 2021, it could happen again. However, it does not look expensive. Is debt OK? Do you see any particular risks near term? Thanks.
Q: I am currently overweight energy and under in real estate. Which of the above three should I trim or sell completely? It seems ENB is as much utility as Energy and it's rather flat, for me. Love all the Energy dividends. The sole Realty I have is DIR.UN which I'm happy with. Which Canadian REIT's would you suggest and would I be better with a US or European REIT? If so, with one(s)? Many thanks

Q: I recently bought some IBIT shares and since the purchase my Portfolio Analysis summary has gone wonky. In the detail section for IBIT percentages; Asset Class: Fixed Income: 3055.98%, Diversified: -93.07%. Cash: -421.34%, Equity: -2441.58%. Geography and Sector breakdowns are also all over the place. Needless to say the summary of my portfolio is unreliable. Can this be fixed?
Q: I own both of these but would like to just keep one. Which one do you have more faith in going forward. Thanks. I plan to buy AXON as a replacement.

Q: Good morning. I hold the above stocks in my TFSA. Together they now account for approx. 6% of my TFSA. I am thinking I'd like to consolidate them into one or possibly two positions. Which would you choose to keep if you went that route. Alternatively can you suggest one or two Canadian and one or two American growth stocks to take their place. I already hold full positions of CSU, LMN, TOI, NVDA, and SHOP. Thanks for your advice, Rod
