Q: Would you be able to give some thoughts on the recent price action of NTR? I had wanted to pick some up, but waited for a pull back. Got some under $130, saw it pull back some more and got some more at about $120. It's still dropping however, and I'm a bit perplexed as to why it is dropping. Thank you.

Q: More fuel for the tax loss selling debate is the prospect of a higher future capital gains tax rate where (hopefully) losses would be worth more also. With federal govt. spending showing no sign of abating and increasing interest payments on its debt, it's possible this issue will be revisited in the next budget.

In Paul's scenario it's possible more tax will be paid by taking the loss now and paying much more later with the greater cap gain on the stock price.

Also, tax rates tend to rise evidenced by tax freedom day getting pushed further along in June, and there's the phenomenon of bracket creep to consider.

Q: Quick follow up to my CWW Q.

I see a response to another question on CWW immediately following mine. In the answer, you mention FIW as another Water focused ETF to consider and that it has had better performance over time. So should I sell CWW and buy FIW? If I bought FIW and kept my CWW, is there too much overlap?

Thanks again for your prompt responses.

Cheers.

Q: Earlier today you replied to a question with: "We are not big fans of averaging down, but if we were to do it BAM.A would likely be near the top of the list. When 'the market' brings down all stocks we are more comfortable buying more as opposed to when a company in isolation declines. We are not worrried about BAM getting through this market and/or upcoming recession. "

Please list 5 cad and 5 usd stocks that would be in your top list that would meet the above criteria.

Thx.

Q: Hi, Oil and Gas sector has come under pressure for past two weeks, with above equities declining 20-30% from their respective highs. Volatility in oil and gas prices could be a reason and other days, it could simply be in sympathy with general markets.
This is in the backdrop of analysts forecasting very strong cash flow generation by all these companies, resulting in outsized shareholder returns and much higher equity prices. We have 10% weighting in the sector ( Not including 5.5% ENB ). Based on the geo-political, demand/supply and other relevant factors, do you believe, this sector still has legs, say another 6-12 months or longer and equities should recover over time. Also, what would cause, in your opinion, for market to change course for this sector, in near future. Thank You

Q: I am wondering about the relative safety of these Reits if interest rates runs really high. I was reading an article in Barron's which claimed a high number of Reits went bankrupt in the 70's and 80's, but went on to say it wouldn't happen today even in the same case scenario, but it did not say why. Wondering what you think of that statement, and if you could answer "why it wouldn't happen now". Do you think these Reits are safe to add to as they go down, and would their dividends be safe if interest rates ran hot for a couple of years? Thanks.
