Q: Would you be an investor in CSX based on Hunter Harrison taking the helm? It has popped almost 20% today on that rumour. Would you wait until it becomes official? I missed out on the CP run while he was in charge and am interested in your opinion if he can replicate his success once again.
Thank you

Q: Shipping companies seem to be on a tear today. They've been in the dumps for years and supply has been cut, is it finally time for a rebound as commodities may finally get a re-run and the inflation trade plays out? I've been looking at a few US listings SBLK, GNK, DSX as examples - wondering if you had an opinion on the sector and any recommendations? thanks

Q: We I currently own vfv in my husbands Rrsp account and have done quite well. Since he has now retired we are slowly repositioning his portfolio from income / growth to more income with safety we are thinking of selling vfv and purchasing a covered call etf that would still provide exposure to the us market. Do you think this is a wise decision,and if so what do you think of the Bmo Zwh? And which one would you purchase at this time-ZWH or ZWH.u? Are there other consideration we should be thinking about? Thank you

Q: Still hunting for income without taking on too much risk.

Both BIF.UN and PEG have yields in the 8% range.

I would appreciate your comments regarding adding these to a portfolio that contains most of all three of the 5i Portfolios, and is reasonably well balanced despite being underweight in utilities.

Thank you.

Q: I am looking at moving a significant chunk of our retirement money into either/both the Tangerine Equity Growth Portfolio and the Tangerine Balanced Growth Portfolio in an attempt to follow the 'one fund solution'. What are your thoughts and are there alternative index funds you think may be a better bet. This is my first question (membership was a Christmas prezzie from my dad)!
