Q: As I type this question ILMN is up 13.68% today. I believe they reported yesterday so they must have been strong numbers. I'm thinking of selling my PFE to buy ILMN because (not including dividends) I'm slightly negative with PFE over 3 years. I know you like ILMN and I would be buying a higher risk company and cutting back the dividends but ILMN just seems an excellent company. It would be about a 2% weighting. Any comments would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: I am planning to buy BEP on this dip. BEPC has dropped from a high of 80 to 64. BEP,UN has only dropped from 63 to 59. In the last few days, BEPC has dropped by 5% each day while BEP.UN only dropped by 2%
Can you explain the difference?
Which one should I buy given the difference in price drop?
I can buy in either my RRSP or my corp, doesn't matter. I guess if you tell me BEPC, I'd put in my corp, and if you say BEP.UN, I'd put in RRSP, would that be correct?
Thanks.

Q: I bought Asana on the advice of a professional who uses their software, and on their momentum and sector momentum. I'd like to buy Unity software (U) and was thinking to sell ASAN concomitantly. Is that a reasonable tradeoff or should I make room for both by trimming a Chip holding like Micron? I am not selling NVDA!

Q: You have not fallen out of love with PFE. Neither had I , but my feelings for it have been getting very wobbly lately. I have had PFE for many years and still show a loss. Shares continue to decline, now at a faster rate it seems. Although several PFE drugs are going off patent , but I understand PFE has a good pipeline of promising new drugs. Is this why you love it so? Nevertheless, I would now admit defeat were it not for your very positive view of the company, which has encouraged my already biased positive regard. I am however now running out of excuses for holding on to this otherwise great company. I would therefore love to know what YOU regard are the catalysts for PFE going forward. Those catalysts seems to be things I have missed completely.

Q: What do you think of BIP's offer for IPL?

I note that the stock price of BIP is down about 20% since Dec 24. I also think that investors may be in part selling now to shy away from the fossil fuel industry. Yet the pipeline industry seems less impacted by the price of oil and the regulations barring new pipelines. Wouldn't this make the existing pipes more valuable.

So, does all this imply that this downdraft is a good buying opportunity for bip (which I already own a lot of)?

Q: A member reported difficulty purchasing OTC:VWDRY at TDW. I, too, have mostly given up on ordering over-the-phone. However, the member should be able to purchase VWDRY via WebBroker; indeed, when I enter the symbol in the order form textbox, WebBroker autocompletes the company name. The only obstacle is the omission of price data, but that's available at OTCMarkets (which, when I've asked, has been where TDW's phone brokers got their information, too.) Perhaps WebBroker added this symbol to its database only recently.
