Q: The HVAC industry as a whole seems to have done well but many businesses now seem to be very richly valued...what is your view of that area going forward?

Trane has been a great investment. It is now 5% of my portfolio; given its valuation, if it was you, would you hold, trim or exit?

Or if you see this area as still having potential, rather than adding to TT, do you think SPX or CARR would be good options? Any others come to mind?

Many thanks for your excellent service

Q: Hi


I ask this for tax savings in the end.

As I am single (widowed age 68) and have done very good as a result of 5i.

When I pass away have my RRSP will be taxed at about 50%.

My thinking is moving my RRSP into a RIFF and start withdrawing now and funneling my payments to my children after paying the taxes.

I do not receive OAS now, so it is not a issue.

I would like to see my children learn how to invest now.

Does this make sense.

Thank you

Mike

Q: Hi Peter

I have been holding onto this stock on the assumption that AI would soon enable MDT to market or otherwise exploit their massive amount of product research data and information. Am I too optimistic ? I'd very much appreciate any insights you may have on this, and whether you think its worthwhile to hang on because of this thesis, or move on to a "growthier" stock, such as ISRG.

My other question is about Neo Financial. I see that Tobias Lutke and others have contributed in the second (?) round of financing, which to me means that Neo is quite promising. Do you have any info from your sources on Neo's disruption potential, when an IPO could be expected, etc. ?

Thank you kindly.

Ps. We benefitted alot today from the jump in price of shopify, thanks to you.

Q: You have beaten down on all the the pro's and cons about tel, and bce. My situation is the fact that I have to convert my rrsp to a riff. I am way down on bce and tel, I have no plan to sell, this is my reasoning. the value that I use for with with drawls is the current price and not what I paid. As such my return is 10% and 8 %. My goal is to make enough on dividends to be higher than 5% so I am not taking out for money than I make, since I don'd need the money, and hope a little capital gain thereby not depleting my rrif. Since bce has allready said that they will not increase the payout, I think that tel has a better chance of increasing the pay out, thinking of adding some more. I have some piple lines that have gone up a lot and I am getting a good return on them. Looking to buy a solid company that has a good dividend. What say you, is my plan make sense?
Thanks

Q: Hello, I am looking at these 3 ETFs to park my cash, now that short term interest rates have come down and ETFs like PSA or HSAV have much less attractive rates than 6 months ago. Can you highlight the main differences between MNY, CBIL and CMR and sort these by increasing risk level? FYI, CMR will add asset-backed paper to its portfolio sometime next year. Thanks!
