Q: Why did it take such a hit because of Trump?
Q: Both Northland Power and Algonquin Power are down over 3% today.
Is this in reaction to the US election results, or perhaps the interest rate outlook, or some other reason?

Q: Is the BLX Q3 results as bad as I think they are? I made a bad gamble and added more BLX just before closing yesterday, thinking they will do better in Q3. Guess I might have caught a falling knife. What is your expert assessment of the BLX prospects from hereon. Thanks.
Q: Peter, if a Trump/Republican government takes a harder line on softwood lumber, do you see that impacting Stella-Jones very negatively? Thanks!
Q: Looking towards an isolationist, anti-trade Trump presidency, which sectors in Canada do you think would suffer most? I'm thinking of autos and lumber, as a start. Are there any names on the balanced portfolio which would be particularly hard hit if NAFTA disappeared and their US exports were threatened? Ie, Magna, SJ.
Q: What do you guys think of trump winning? Any idea how this will affect Canada?
Q: If the S&P 500 tanks tomorrow morning, would you consider it a buying opportunity? Thanks, Bill
Q: Based on the Trump win, I would like to buy gold. Currently I hold no gold and am looking for a 5% position in one or two companies to hold for the next few months or longer. Please make a couple of gold company suggestions.
Q: I'm one of those unlucky souls that happens to own both AD and DH. With tax loss selling already upon us, which one would you recommend to dump first (i.e., the Trump or Hilary dilemma)?
Q: PPL and others in the utility pipeline space have taken a major haircut in the last few days for no reason at all. Is the threat of a Fed rate increase really to blame? In real financial terms that is really immaterial. However, market movers have been using all threats (real or otherwise) to further their games of stirring stock movements. What is your take on this? Thanks.
Q: A Donald Trump victory on Tuesday is now no longer a hail mary based on recent polls and commentary (and regardless as to Canadians imploring Americans to not vote for Trump). It is truly scary for so many reasons. How would you hedge the balanced portfolio against what is likely to be a general market meltdown if Trump wins? And just a clarification on the balanced portfolio to end of October - have absolute returns been 19.6% to date (or vs. benchmark) and 125.9% cumulative since December 2014?
Q: Hey folks
With it looking more possible that a Trump win is in the future, and the predictions of how the markets are going to fall ( which we may have seen the start of today), would it be prudent to take some gains off the table now and reinvest when/if the markets drop, knowing fully that they will recover in a short time, or should a person stand pat and ride it out? I am thinking there may be some gains to be realized by playing the over reaction that is sure to come if Mr. Trump wins.

Q: Is United Health (UNH.us) one to sell given the unusual political volatility? My question was also prompted by my renewed awareness that I may have over-allocated funds to bio-tech companies, and older-line pharmaceutical companies listed in the US and Europe. UNH is neither bio-tech nor pharma, but would it be safe from the ongoing and apparently increasing Congressional frustration with the entire industry.How would the abolition of the Advanced Health Care Act affect UNH? I am fine riding out the political yelling, so long as you think UNH still has a good future, with dividend growth and some price appreciation.
Q: Hi 5i team!! I am at a conference in Arizona, and just the feeling I get polling my colleagues, all of whom are academics, the general consensus is that Trump will be the next US president. Hillary is not a favorite because of allegedly crooked behaviour which I was unaware of. The way I look at it, neither one, Trump or Clinton are a good choice but that's a moot point. So, to my question...what do you suggest.. If the Donald gets in ...should we sit tight on your suggested portfolios or sell certain stocks, or sell everything and head for the hills ? Which stocks will do poorly and which ones may do well? Cheers, Tamara
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
In today's Financial Post, there's an interesting article called "Betting on the U.S. election via the ‘Trump ETF’"
If one wanted to "bet" on a Hillary victory, would a small purchase of EWW be a wise move? Any hesitation I have is due to currency risk, but I am unsure.
Thanks for any advice.

Q: OK the Trump effect ... would it be prudent to turn all investments into cash lets say a week ahead of the US election (50 stocks X $10/transaction =$500) and if Trump wins ride out the wave of volatility and then buy back into the portfolios for another $500 hit possibly avoiding the chaos that would follow the Donald into his presidency? If Hillary wins would you expect a positive response from the markets?
