Q: How do the pipelines make their income ? Is it a fixed toll on flow that increases with volume ? Is it dependant on the commodity price ? Does the route of the pipeline; ie: the scarcity of capacity of a given route matter ? Is this a good entry ? Are tight commodity supplies good or bad for pipelines ? Thank you.

Q: If one has spent years building a diversified portfolio of mainly equities in quality companies and one is reliant on the portfolio for income what is your advice during a bear market? To sell and exit the market one could finally get decent rates on GICs but you would never know when to reenter the market and eventually GIC rates could go down leaving you without enough income. Plus you get dividend tax credit. Does one just close eyes and collect the dividends. I know some fund managers sell but I feel like this is the wrong thing to do. Your insight helping us through these difficult market times is really valuable.

Q: Hi, A follow up to my question earlier. Do you think, the sharp drop in oil price on Friday and recent weakness in Oil and Gas equities could have been triggered by recession fears ? If this is one of the reasons, with more rate hikes in the cards and probability of a recession going up, in your view, how is the Energy sector likely to hold ? How does a retail investor position for next 6-12 months ? Thanks again
Q: I hoped I could shed some light for Paul regarding his question on tax loss selling.
Most people on this site are buy-and hold investors rather than traders. Their thinking is that they can sell, harvest a tax break from the loss, and then buy it back to hold for a long period.
In short, they are aiming to continue holding it for the long term, but getting a tax benefit in the short term by quickly selling and buying it back.
5i - please publish or not as you see fit.

Q: We plan to begin annually to withdraw funds from our RSP investment accounts and transfer the amount minus the withheld taxes in a cash investment account. The funds are not needed at this time but the purpose is to reduce future taxes,although we are aware that we will be paying taxes on 50% of the Capital Gains in the cash investment account as well as taxes on dividends. With the stock market being at a low at this time is it a good strategy to do the withdrawing and reinvesting at this time ?

Q: It seems the market is sending the stock to zero here after a short attack. With the yield over 8%, would it be a screeming buy or a run for the exit as most likely scenario?
I know the shares should settle first, and we should not chase yield, but it sure looks enticing, so some help in objectivity please.

Q: In your latest report (6-17) you state
"the main three forces that we have seen across rising commodities prices are adverse weather conditions (drought), the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and concentrated country risk"
However you failed to address perhaps the most significant cause of inflation which is the Fed money printing.
Why is that?
