Q: Other than currency what is the difference between these two products. I would like some insurance on market volatility but am unsure which product is best. Is there a better way to protect against volatility other than cash. Thanks

Q: Hello Folks:
What are your thoughts on Johnson Controls and Honeywell? I have owned JCI (which hasn't done much) for some time. Is a switch to Honeywell warranted? Are there better options in this sector?
Thanks once more!

Q: Hello Folks:
We hold US industrial stocks such as Cummins, GE, UTX, BA, CVX etc.
It appears likely the incoming U.S. administration will prioritize infrastructure spending. Do you feel this will be the case, and if so, have you some large cap stocks I could consider?
Thank You For Everything

Q: I have just completed re-balancing my RIF - selling some & retaining the following: L, FTS, AQN, EIF, KXS, ENGH, IPL & FB. My surplus in cash is now approx. $145,000 CDN. I have decided to place this amount into the USA. As I already own Facebook, this would round out my US holdings at about $155K US. While I like TXN & EBIX I would appreciate your suggestions & comments as to these as well as others you favor - allowing for the present turmoil in this marketplace. Thank you.
