Looking for advice to invest our RESP contribution this year for my daughter. Time horizon is 17 years. Do you prefer any of these for good growth, or are their any others you would prefer (companies traded in Canada would be ideal)?

Q: Please analyze this one. I'm in the lucky position, having it long enough, that I'm still decently positive but questioning it's future. Worth holding for awhile or moving on? Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on Tutor Perini (TPC)? Does it have potential as a play on the US infrastructure theme? Are there other small caps you’d prefer in the same space? Thanks.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize shipping stocks are cyclical...Not sure if the wars or new supply chains are a positive or negative. What I mean is they could charge higher rates if there is risk involved. In any event I have held this stock for too many years and am even. However at this point it appears to be "dead-money"...if you know what I mean. Can you see any reason to be patient for a few more quarters? Thanks as always...your opinion is always a voice of reason!

Q: Could I please get you thoughts on Finning

Q: What are your current thoughts on KEYS? I'm up 55% and thinking of buying some more, maybe increase my overall weighting to 5%. The latest numbers seem positive and I like that they are getting involved on EV battery testing and charging. EV battery charging seems to be a problem if you don't drive a Tesla. Probably would need to sell some NVDA to raise the USD which is not ideal but of course our NVDA weighting is too high. Also is KEYS an Industrial Company? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Just curious on your take on nly. The dividend is attractive and US housing seems less perilous than Canada.

Q: Could I get your thoughts on SFM, please? It's been trending up but analysts seem quite negative about it. Thanks.

Q: SRLN looks unsafe at first glance. the yield at over 8% p.a. looks high. Morningstar gives SRLN a neutral rating (forward looking) and 2 stars looking backward. Morningstar is often out of date, and there is better information at ETF.com. Your Bloomberg is not available to us commoners.

I ask this this question because bank-owned brokers make it difficult and/or expensive to buy bonds. Information and pricing on bonds are not easily searchable. Every time I force myself to look at asset allocation, the robotic tools I use scream at me that I am mad in that I zero fixed income. This brought me to look at bond ETFs and I acquired some USHY which looked decent, but that doesn’t quieten those pesky AI tools that help self-directed investors.

Is SRLN a reasonable enough proxy to add to the fixed income part of one’s portfolio? Or is it risky compared to other available US$ bond ETFs? I’d welcome substance in your response and if you care to add links to materials that pedestrian investors like me should look at, that could help. Many thanks.
