Q: I really liked your answer about 'dead money' to Jason's question about riocan today. I'd like to get your impression of other reits: IIP.UN, BPY.UN, CAR.UN, and DIR.UN. Are they like dead money for a while? Are they good buys considering their book value per share is lower or close to their market value or do you think they can go down further? Are there any in this list that you would not recommend?
thanks!

Q: This question is about diversification and percentage of stocks vs ETFs. In my overall portfolio (combined tfsa, rrsp, and non-registered), I have roughly 37% VFV/ZSP, and the rest fairly equally weighted across ENB, KXS, SHOP, VGH, AQN, BEP.UN/C, BIP.UN/C, BNS, CPX, GDI, NVDA, RY, TEAM, VGG, TRP, BAM.A. I'm in my mid 30s and have a long time frame, but would prefer to position for short term performance as much as possible. So, with some cash to allocate, can you please recommend a couple US and CAN stocks to add to this mix (or recommend just adding to what I hold)? Also, given your recent market update on covid vs sector performance, what would you do with the VFV/ZSP allocation? I am open to moving that allocation to stocks instead of an ETF, and am wondering if I should take that path, and how best to position there given the big tech names/top holdings in the ETFs, vs some holdings across sectors that are currently down. Thanks!

Q: What's wrong with Canadian tech these days? ZQQ is up 12.61% this month, as tech stocks soar. But in Canada, you would have been much better off owning a plodding insurance company like Sun Life or a bank than Kinaxis, Constellation Software, Open Text, Enghouse, CGI, Shopify or Sylogist.

Q: Good day team,

I'd like for you guys to put on your Nostradamus hats and describe to me what you feel/predict will be the major investment trends over the next 10 years. Do you foresee any major paradigm shifts taking place that folks can really capitalize on? This is all assuming you have a crystal ball ;)

Q: Curious to get your take on what other companies (can and us listed) may benefit from people embracing the winter and outdoors this year. LL Bean just announced a spike in purchases of sleds, snow shoes etc in advance of the winter. Assume DOO will benefit, what about GOOS or maybe COLM. Any others I should look at?

Q: Thoughts on the market that seems to defy gravity? I have to admit I’ve been tempted to sell many times since the rally started and I would have been wrong every time. Would you suggest keep holding?
