Q: When I look at the yield on TXF I see it's over 8%. Is that correct? I know you say it won't participate in the upside of a bull market due to the covered call aspect but what will the yield do in a bull market? What about in a flat or declining market? Thanks!

Q: I am building an ETF portfolio with 10 below ETF. I know there are overlap stocks. Am I overweight in any given sector? I will be planning to buy below ETF over the next few months.

Q: any update on this copper company? thanks again.

Q: hello...I puzzled why income stocks are rising, aka increasing stock price. For example, Bell is nearing an all time high, even in the face that interest rates increases are likely to slow or halt. And all of this is happening while balanced stocks are providing guidance of reduced margins as you highlighted in todays' market update.
Does the increase in prices for income stocks reflect a market change in sentiment to income portfolio type equity positions?
For an individual investor, are there for example indices or ETF that could be followed to monitor such changes in the stock market?
This is all triggered by the rise in Bell's stock price. I'm not overweight Bell but because of the rise in price, I'm wondering if is has topped and for this reason, should I trim and take profit?..........Thanks....Tom

Q: Hi,

Im looking for a lo-volatility, long term steady performer. What do you think of ATD.B or TRI.CI. What do you think of these two choices? Any better ideas?

Q: Is there a publicly-available list of Canadian stocks (including preferred shares) trading on the TMX in US dollars?
Thanks!

Q: Hi, Constellation's COO Mr Miller also announced an ASPD agreement for acuisition/disposal of his company shares but at a much larger scale of 10,000 shares a week for price range above $1,000 and below $800. It could be some sort of management plan approved for its top executives/large holders to generate personal liquidity. But, how do you view it from investors' perspective ? There could by as well more of these disclosures in the future. Would such initiatives not put a pressure/cap on stock price ? Thanks

Q: I am thinking of switching NFI for CAE mostly for growth. What do you think?

Q: May I please have your latest view on GRUB? I note DoorDash has very recently surpassed it as the top on-demand food delivery service in terms of dollars spent, and its increase in share seems to have come almost entirely at GRUB's expense. I have only a very small position, made much smaller over the past few months. Time to move onto one of the many better (or better behaving!) opportunities out there?

Q: I'm interested in this ETF for the international portion of our portfolio because I like the dividend yield as well as the countries it is invested in. But it is very small and only recently opened by Vanguard in August with very low trade volumes. What happens to investors money if an ETF folds? What are your thoughts on this ETF? Are there other ETF's with similar yield and country diversification?

Q: I am considering adding PIF to my TFSA due to the high dividend. Your thoughts?

Q: Would you consider Toy and NFI dead money over next 6-12 mons. If so, what would you replace them with?

Q: I follow your Balanced Equity portfolio, and have new money to add, probably enough to add to 6-10 positions, which ones should I add to today?

Please do not include the following companies, since I am fully weighted/overweight in them: BNS, CSU, MG, MX, PBH, PKI, SIS, SU, WSP

When do you think you will be making the next BE portfolio change? If you are planning on selling an existing BE position, please do not recommend that I add to it at this time. Thank you.

Q: Would appreciate your view and outlook for BSR REIT.
