Q: Hi,
if you were putting a fund together comparable to VGG, but for Canadian equities, what might be your first 5 top picks assuming the same criteria for the ETF? Also, what would be your 3 honorable mentions?
When comparing CDZ and VGG what are the main differences in terms of the stocks that make up these two ETF's?
Many thanks,
Dan

Q: ARK Invest recently produced a Bad Ideas Report for 2020.
The one that particularly caught my attention was on railroads. Their thesis is that the trend in place since early 2000's in which rail had been taking share from trucking will reverse with the commercialization of autonomous electric trucks.
They believe that during the next five years autonomous electric trucks will provide faster and more convenient door to door service , increase productivity , lower costs dramatically and take share from rail.
While their projections may be aggressive , they have a pretty good record at identifying disruptive trends. And , as someone who has owned CNR for over a decade and always considered it a forever hold , this caught my attention.
Would appreciate your thoughts .
Thank-you.

Q: In the industrial sector I have a weighting of 19.41%. I know this is over weight, but I like the stocks I own for future growth. For colour I own CAE 3.97% up 14.22% recent addition. EIF 4.31% up 20.31%: TFII 5:47% up 105.97%: : WSP 3.75% up 4.79%:
My concern is with TFII, after reading a copy of the conference call I’m not exactly excited about the future. Seems to be tough sledding from here on.What are your thoughts?

Q: Good Morning
I’m in the process of some year end house cleaning with the idea to reduce the number of holdings and adding some more upside potential. Considering selling partial positions in GUD and ATA and with the proceeds topping up two of either TRI,ECN TFII or AD. Would you firstly endorse the sells and which two would top up at this time.
Thank you for your continued guidance and support.

Q: I was listening to someone who was saying that industrial is the new retail (because of the supply chain to online sales) and that it makes sense to invest in COLD and PBW (US). What are your thoughts on this thesis, and if you agree, what companies would you recommend? It seems that TFII has benefited from this theme.

Q: Hi, the highest rated industrials you cover are SIS, TFII and WSP (all B+) all of which I own a full position, plus CAE (also B+) which I own a 1/2 position. I'm currently under weight industrials, but not comfortable adding to CAE just yet. Are the other industrials you might recommend that could be B+ or better?
Thanks, Ian

Q: I have about a 1% weighting in each of the following names in my portfolio: MX, PLC, BYD, MTY, ALA, NFI, TFII, GIB.A, MFC, SIS.
I want to refocus by eliminating 3 or 4 of these. Sector allocation is not a factor. Please suggest 3-4 names to eliminate (list the most obvious to eliminate first) and 2-3 good candidates to boost today (best first).
