Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is a simple question... because I do not want to make a mistake. I have just received my annual withdrawal amount which is due on April 30. If I withdraw this amount from my RRIF account and transfer it to my cash account now... will it be automatically withdrawn again on April 30? I do not want to make a payment twice. Thanks!

Q: I know you generally recommend 10% as a maximum weighting for the energy sector. However my weighting in my unregistered Canadian cash account is now 32% because I followed Eric Nuttall and got in early. I am reluctant to sell for two reasons. One, I would face very substantial capital gains taxes. Two, I believe there is considerable further upside. I am a senior and my question is: is there any practical way of protecting these gains apart from significant selling? I would appreciate Peter's advice.

Q: I regularly use Globe Investor some terminology used by professionals on these sites and TV require some explanation. For instance, i.e. Trade Desk just as an example, the price/earnings (TTM) 142.2; earnings per share (TTM) 0.57;
Doing my math the share price 79.00 @ 11:00 a.m. divided by 0.57 = 138.59
Am I right you would be paying 138.59? Above I said the PE was 142.2 doing my math would the PE now be 138.59? I realize every move in the stock price changes the PE slightly.
Another frequently used termination is free cash flow. Please explain. I know I have the right people to explain the above.
Thank you

Q: Conventional wisdom seems to be that growth stocks, esp. pricey hi-tech names, are being hit due to fears of interest rate increases. But some of these names don't seem to be directly vulnerable, with low/no debt, strong balance sheets to fund growth without borrowing, and products that wouldn't be especially vulnerable to rate increases for consumers (e.g. retail like shop or lspd). So what am I missing? Could you suggest 2 or 3 growth names that should be relatively safe, or at least bounce back quickly?
