Q: I am looking to invest in vegan based company stock. Could you please provide your top 5 vegan based companies that you would buy. There is a lot of competition in this field. I intend to hold the stock for 5-10 years.

Q: Can you comment on the effect of rising interest rates on BAM? My understanding is that higher interest rates will lower the valuations of the hard assets that Brookfield owns.

In light of expectations of higher interest rates in the future, would you be more inclined to allocate more capital to financials (banks, insurance), over Brookfield?

Q: Further to my question of March 19, I have received the funds which represent 15% of my non registered account ( and 7.5 % of total portfolios).
I have added the hedged ZQQ to the list as I have no tech exposure in any portfolio and have a US property being 20% of my total assets, thus providing adequate currency diversification.
I used one third of the new funds to purchase BAM and am now looking for the next 2. Your suggestion and reasons are appreciated. Derek

Q: Are you followers of David Rosenburg? He is playing the contrarian and is foreshadowing gloomy times ahead - not too distant. Recently, in the National Post he reinforced his current analysis with his prior track record of seeing what others didn't. What do you think?

Q: Following up on my question from this morning, you suggested as "high dividend payers" a few companies that have comparatively low dividends to LIF or FSZ. They aere T (4.83%), AQN, (3.9%), NPIU (2.75%). I don't think these qualify as "high dividend payers". I acknowledge they may be better choices from a growth perspective, but I am looking specifically for companies with a high dividend (over 6% for sure), if any other than FSZ (on my radar!) and LIF (I own this) can be suggested. Growth is not important to me for this aspect of my portfolio. I am looking for companies you might suggest that have a dividend that you think is reasonably safe.
Thanks! Paul

Q: Good morning!
In a recent answer you mentioned LIF (Labrador iron Ore Royalty Corporation) by noting:
"For the 'high dividend' category we would consider it one of the better options."
Could you perhaps name a few others that are high dividend payers where you feel the dividends are reasonably secure? (I already have positions in ENB, BCE, PPL, and SIA)
Thanks! ... Paul
