Q: When Roger's takeover bid for Shaw first became public, these shares jumped in value. You suggested the following strategy for investors who held them.
1. Sell one third at that time.
2. Sell one third when the spread between the class A and Class B is gone
3. Sell the last third when the tender is made
Well, now the there is virtually no spread between the A and B shares. Would you still advise selling the second third?

Q: I am a member of your “ETF and Mutual Fund Update” web service and a recent 5i member question on his ETF portfolio raised a question for me. Your ETF site has recommended portfolios for “Conservative”, “Balanced” and “Growth” strategies but not one for “Income”.

Q: I'm interested in purchasing some stocks directly engaged in the IIOT and "industrial automation revolution" happening across many sectors worldwide. I prefer software companies with high TAM, dominant businesses (or the potential to be dominant), profitable, and good management. I understand purchasing the ARKQ ETF is one way to achieve this, but for a .75% fee it seems expensive. Also, I don't like that the fund weights Tesla, Alphabet, and Baidu so heavily. Of the above companies, how would you rank them as long term buys right now? Am I missing any here that you really like?

Q: While I have no issue buying and selling stocks in my registered accounts, I find I am tremendously reluctant to sell stocks in my non-registered accounts when there's a capital gain. By way of example, I've held onto MSI for a couple of years and am up 45%. The stock seems to be stalling...and I'm tempted to replace it with MG. Two questions/asks:
1) Please discuss your strategy for selling profitable stocks in a non-registered account.
2) In my case, would you replace MSI with MG...and why? (In terms of industrials, I also own TFII, WSP and J.)
Thank you.
