Q: Would you have a good proxy for U:US, DND and GH:US to capture tax losses, I do not need them but I would use them at for the future? If there is no equivalent, please state that as well and I can wait until markets return, whenever that will be.

Thanks for your service!

Q: Hi Folks,
I currently own the above in my TFSA and non registered accounts as part of the "tech" sector - I would like your opinion as to whether you would add to any of them OR would this be a good entry point to buy CSU for some Canadian exposure.
Thanks

Q: I noticed in one of your answers today you indicated the TSX Index is roughly 17% energy. I thought people should understand that this figure includes pipelines, midstream companies, uranium, and for some reason, Parkland. I looked at the XIC holdings today and added these up, and these non-producers make up roughly 8% of the TSX Index. The XIC energy weight as of Mar 8th is listed as 16.6%. That means the O & G producers make up about 8.6% of the TSX Index. A bit lower after today.

Q: Do you see any second derivative opportunities to the current bull market in commodities? More specifically, are there any tanker shippers you favour in this environment, like NAT and TNK, or dry bulk shippers, like DSX or SBLK? With the possibility of a reinvigourated US oil and gas industry, what are your views on service companies such as HAL, SLB, and BKR? Thanks.

Q: I was a holder of equity precursors of GROY:US (it's the amalgamation of multiple entities) and am well aware of the previous companies, holdings, streaming positions etc. I am surprised to see it's downward trajectory in the face of strong Au pricing and the upward movement (now) in gold stocks. Could you provide some insight into what might be causing GROY:US to be drifting down at this time?

Would you prefer VOO or VTI at this time? Also, is there an etf in canadian dollars (tsx) that mimics VTI similar to xsp on tsx and SPY? Thanks very much.

Q: Looking at these for my TFSA and for me it’s a tough call. GSY is getting more reasonable price wise but could rising interest rates hurt it ? MG is
cheap but supply chains are clogged and materials getting scarcer and more expensive.
Which would be your pick and why ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: Hi, I see the demand case for PBH.to. But I'm cautious on the company because I don't understand how inflation might eat their lunch (bad pun). Do they have any fingers in the food production, or are they just a taker of input prices? If so aren't their margins going to get squeezed here as meat and grain input costs rise? I'm guessing there is a limit to how much they can raise their prices to stores before the demand side?
