Q: It's getting a little scary to see such huge profits in my portfolio (Cash, TFSA, RRIF). I know you are flexible about percentages, so I'd like your opinion on whether to reduce the following equities and by how much?

SIS 7% ; BABA 6% ; NVDA 9%; SHOP 8% ; ALGN 6% ; DOL 9% ; PBH 9%.
Many thanks for all your thoughtful advice.

Q: Would like your opinion on what company to add to my RRSP. I currently have BNS, TD, BCE, T, TRP, ENB and PFE. Would like some something with growth potential and a small dividend. I notice you seem to like SIS - would that fit in OR can you suggest others I can look at ? Thanks for your help.

Q: Rising interest rates have definitely put downward pressure on bond-proxy types of companies i.e. those that pay dividends. I am an investor who believes that those companies that pay dividends and have the ability to raise those dividends consistently over time tend to outperform. I would like to purchase 6 such companies for the income portion of my portfolio, and would appreciate the names of your favorite companies that pay, and have a history of increasing, their dividends.

Q: Hi Guys,

I was thinking of buying SIS at $16.60. After reading many of your answers I know you really like the company.

Why does the stock price keep dropping going against your recent recommendations?

Do you see a problem with their Chinese factory and importing goods into the US especially with how "Donald" is acting?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
John
