Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: if the reinsurance business is successful will the future share price of BAMR be higher than BAM.A? will the dividend of BAMR.always be the same as BAM.A? since the shares of BAMR are exchangeable 1 for1 for shares of BAM.A is this then a floor price for BAMR? I am still confused by the answers you have provided and request your patience and further clarification.as I want to invest in the reinsurance industry not BAM.A which I already hold thanks Richard

Q: Back in this April I switched GRT.UN over to SMU.UN after GRT.UN's unit price had gone stale. I did reap the benefit of 25% gain from a 2 year hold. This switch is only supposed to be a temporarily move as I was waiting for better other opportunities. However, SMU.UN went up by 18% since then (in only a bit more than 2 months) and I wonder why so much and so quick for a REIT?

My question is that SMU.UN gain for real? Why the big pop and will it hold, or I should jump ship at the next opportunity? I'm not complaining about this windfall, but it's too much too soon and there is no such thing as a free lunch from heaven? Right? LOL.

Q: HI

Thinking of selling my LSPD in my RRSP (358 Shares) and buying NVDA.

I also own XIT (1,000) shares in my RRSP.

This way I get more US stocks.

Your comments please.

Thank you

Q: I am looking for an etf or stock that might run with Biden’s infrastructure deal. I found PAVE but it seems to have already run up a lot. Do you think it has more room to run? Any other suggestions for ETFs or stocks - maybe BIP.un?
Thanks for your great service

Q: Hi, in your April report for XBC, the shares were trading at $4.29 and that represented 4.5x sales and 145x EBITDA. ANRG just went public at $14.00 (now around $13.50), and the IPO price represented about 1x sales and 7x EBITDA. Both companies are essentially in the same business, so I am wondering about the valuation discrepancy. Your thought would be appreciated.

Q: My question relates to the 10 yr less 2 yr government bond spread as an indicator of a recession. Has it ever happen that Canada has had a recession without one in the US, or vice versa. The reason I am asking is because is it better to worry about the US 10-2yr spread or the Canadian 10-2yr as an indicator of a recession. Tnx

Q: I bought all 3 of these banks a couple of years ago: Royal Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia and TD. At that time all 3 of purchase prices were much lower than today's stock prices. I would like to add to my holdings of each. Would you wait until the prices come down a little, or is it more probable at this point that prices will continue to go up? Thank you.

Do you think there is more upside in the O & G stocks. If so what would you suggest?
