Q: This is an extremely small position that I took a flier on as I believe helium sourcing from Canada would be a good opportunity in a market characterised by uncertainty and geopolitical risk (as >1/2 of helium comes from geopolitically-sensitive areas).

The stock in the last couple of weeks has just tanked - any reason for this? It's been so drastic the drop so I'm curious. I have <$1k invested but super curious to know what's happening.

Q: Hi 5I:
On April 29 PHIL asked about a pipeline company. I think he is looking for Tidewater midstream and Tidewater renewables.
Thanks, BEN.

Q: Your comment on the tax issue regarding Ed’s question today regarding selling ENB to buy another pipeline is bang on. There are several considerations: for a stock to rise 25% to make the switch profitable is quite a challenge and may take years to accomplish ; the 2% differential in yield between ENB and PPL is a ( almost guaranteed) benefit received every quarter, not down the road when sold ; higher growth does not necessarily mean higher share price. Trades like this should only occur when something fundamentally and significantly has negatively happened to the company as many stocks in a sector correlate quite closely to one another. Please shot holes in my discussion. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi,
We own both Atd (3% position)and PKI (1% position). Which is the better company going forward? I am thinking about selling PKI and buying more Atd and maybe also adding to ENB(2% position) All these companies have had sizeable pull backs. Just trying to figure out what has the best potential going forward. No tax implications.
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: I just asked a question about BIZD for RRIF income. In addition, what are you thoughts on LVHI? Would you recommend both or recommend a USD dividend stocks instead?

Thanks again.

Q: Good morning; I read an article in the G&M on the weekend regarding the remote possibility (should Trump win) that they may change how the US Fed operates; affecting its independence and role as the world currency.

Crazier things have happened and with 50% of my investments in $US it got me wondering - if the US Finaincial system were subject to such change, which currency could/would replace it? I’d be interested in your view of the likely top 3.

Thanks very much,

Dave

Q: While Disney is a great company is it a great stock? I am down considerably on the stock as video streaming... have not met my expectations. Do you have any alternatives in this sector that would upgrade my portfolio or would you stay with Disney?
With appreciation,
Ed
