Q: I have an account with Scotia i trade. How to explain in this digitation era of instant data manipulation, one week after the nvdia split, the correct adjustments are not yet made in my account? Worse, some new figures concerning the stock are completely false and presently show a los in the place of a significant gain. What do you think of that....

Thank you very much.

Q: Hi, currently holding CSU 5.17%, LMN 4.86%, and TOI 1.8%. Have nice gains in all. Looking to trim some CSU and LMN and add to TOI. Would you be comfortable with this move at this time considering each of their fundamentals and valuations? Which do you think has the longest runway for growth and how would you rank them for a 5-10 yr hold.

Also, I have TVK 1.79%, HPS.A 2.02%, PRL 1.41%, WELL 1.91%. No position in DRX (how would you look to avg. into this name?). How would you rank these if you were to add to these positions currently? When looking to add, are you mainly looking at the valuation and fundamentals or does the avg. cost and % return factor into that as well? For example, my HPS.A is up 60% and PRL up 4%, does this factor into your decision of which one to add to or does it not matter and we should just consider the forward return potential? Thanks!

Q: Whats popping this?

Q: I own STAG and it had a nice run at the end of 2023 but has come down a bit since, and it’s share price is about the same from a year ago. It’s in a stable real estate sector and I don’t mind holding onto it if it has some decent growth potential (by REIT standards), but if you think it’s struggling to grow, I may look for a better REIT. Thoughts?

Thank you

Q: We have accounts in RRIF and TFSA. We like to keep approx 6 months of cash in case of economic downturn. Is this too long a period or keep 3 months and invest the rest to produce income. I thought maybe because of interest rates starting to come down it maybe would change economics to positive. Will elections play a role with all the gov't calling elections in the future. we have pensions and dividends that keep us happy .We live within our means.Thanks 5i
