Q: Hi

I refer to the question from Ian concerning XYLD.

In our RRSP accounts EQL represents 17% of our holdings.

As retirement is fast approaching I am thinking of splitting our EQL holdings with XYLD, for the dividend.

Would this make sense?

Thank you for your time

Mike

Q: I would like your interpretation and opinion of Lantronix's results. They seemed reasonably good to me but were punished hard. IT and IoT seems like a good sector to be in so I have held on. Is there just one analyst?
Thank you.

Q: Dear 5i,
I am considering buying these for a long term hold.
Is there a lot of overlap between DE and TIH.
Do you think one needs to own both or none?
If only one, which one would you prefer and what are the key reasons
you chose it over the other one. Thanks for your advice.

Q: I have a stake in one of these companies. Is it prudent to ad at this time and to what one and why. Also, I am starting to think that market timing is everything. You must time your investments and get out at times and maybe get back in at certain times. I think that not just buy and hold until you get Killed any more. I would appreciate tour thoughts and opinions. Thanks James

Q: I have a sizeable position in XYL which has had a barely adequate return over the years. I am considering reducing this position and investing the proceeds in another water stock such as American Water Works or an alternate in either the USA or Canada.
May I have your opinion of XYL and possibly replacing part of my holding with a different water stock of your choice?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hello,
Would like your opinion on the proposed merger of TGL and VAALCO Energy. As a current holder of TGL, I'm wondering what I should do? I've done quite well with this company and it pays an attractive dividend. Would you sell at this point, or have your shares converted to VAALCO... if in fact the merger does take place.
Appreciate your input. Thank you,
Tom
