Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have significant realized losses in my non-registered account. I would like your recommendations on income producing securities that have a high level of ROC. I use this account for income and understand that ROC will be treated as a capital gain and therefore could be deducted from my losses before I would need to pay any tax.
Thanks
Rob

Q: Good morning,

Roku has dropped from approx $140 back to $106. Would you be adding to your position (If light) at current levels or are there any changes in your long term thesis?

Yesterday you mentioned XWD as a good ETF option for international exposure but stated that it had 65 percent NA. Is there a good option for international equity with a value bent without NA companies?

Thanks for being a calming voice during volatility.

Q: Hi folks, now that it looks like oil is doing better, along with oil stocks, please get your thought on Oil Service company; Ces Energy. Stock has doubled off the bottoms and was wondering your thoughts on company; Both Scotia & TD have it as a "Top pick" & "Action Buy List" respectively. At $1sh per share, would U rate Buy/Hold/Sell, and would U like other names over Ceu/t, thanks, jb Piedmont QC
