Q: Hello, Can I get your take on how the markets react during a recession? It seems we are heading into a recession in 2023. Do markets drop further? Do company earnings drop? What sectors if any do you see doing okay during a recession? Do I hold off on buying stocks till middle of 2023 and just stick some money in short term gic/treasury bills? Trying to figure out how to prepare my portfolio for a recession. Thanks

Q: I recently read a short article on CDR’s on the NEO exchange designed, by CIBC, to gain access to American companies without worrying about currency exchange. What is your take on CDRs and how does one access them?

Q: With the addition of my late husband's TFSA, CSU, which I also hold, has become close to 10% of my portfolio. I am several years into retirement. I have 2 questions: Is this a reasonable stock to hold when one is well into retirement? If I keep it, should I reduce it by half? this stock, a long term hold for both of us, has done so well for me I'm reluctant to let go of any of it!

Q: In tuesday's globe and mail, Tom Czitron recommeded buying mid term (5-10 year) federal, provincial government, and corporate bonds because they seem to be in the sweet spot between lower risk and higher opportunity, especially if inflation declines and economic growth wanes.
1. Do you agree?
2. Can you recommend names of bonds that fit this bill?
3. please indicate order of buying (best to worse), if any.
thanks

Q: In January, regarding the above to companies, you stated "We don't like the valuations in the sector (especially RIVN, LCID)..."
My question is, after a significant drop in both, and the requirements for European countries to move into EV's in the coming years, is it reasonable to take a small position in one or both to sit on the shelf for 10 years. Is there another co (next to Tesla) that might be a better "shelf" stock. Thanks!
