Q: I have a question about in which sector BCE resides. According to TMX group, BCE is in communication services, while according to another website, sectorspdr.com, telecommunication companies are lumped into the technology sector ETF that goes by the symbol XLK (http://www.sectorspdr.com/sectorspdr/sector/xlk). Do telecommunication companies comprise their own sector, or should I also consider them part of the technology sector? Thanks for reading, and I await your reply.

Q: Hello, I would like to purchase has some more of these shares but am worried about the potential of the USA cross border tax and especially in the health care field. Do you believe CRH would be included in this tax and should I hold off and see what happens and how will I be able to tell when or if the tax will be imposed? Thanks for your insight.

Q: CN Rail announced their capital spending for next year and it seems that they will continue to spend on infrastructure improvements. I assume that SJ would get some of that business. My question is when SJ announced previously that revenue would be soft in 2017 would that have been based on CN decreasing their spending or is there really no way of assessing that? The stock currently has reacted much so I am thinking CN's announcement wasn't material (please excuse the pun) to SJ.

Q: I took this morning's post-earnings weakness as a chance to purchase Telus, which has been on my "to buy" list for a while. There was a one-time contract issue affecting their profit this past quarter, but they seem on pace with respect to wireless subscriptions, low attrition rates, and dividend increase schedule. I purchased it in my RRSP for a 30+ year hold. Good move?

Q: Hi, Both Cirus Energy and Altus Group have moved up nicely 5-6%, since addition to your portfolios. I guess, I should have added to my portfolio at the same time, instead of hoping for a lower entry point. Are these companies still a good buy at current levels ? How have been these co's earning trends in past (surprises, lumpiness) and is it worth waiting to buy around earnings ? Thanks
