Q: Hello Peter, here's a twist on one of your readers' favourite questions.

What three Canadian stocks and three US stocks have your highest confidence level that they will be higher in two years than they are today, regardless of the size of the return.

Q: Can you please recommend a high-quality infrastructure company in Canada that has good upside potential, please.

Also, I have over $50,000 US in a non-registered account. With the CAD $ going up and the US $ falling, should I convert to CAD? I don't know if there is enough upside in the US market, considering I am losing money every day with the exchange rate.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Further to my question of March 19, I have received the funds which represent 15% of my non registered account ( and 7.5 % of total portfolios).
I have added the hedged ZQQ to the list as I have no tech exposure in any portfolio and have a US property being 20% of my total assets, thus providing adequate currency diversification.
I used one third of the new funds to purchase BAM and am now looking for the next 2. Your suggestion and reasons are appreciated. Derek
