Q: Hello,

The family RESP is composed of 15% VGG and 15% XQQ with the balance spread roughly evenly over the remaining stocks listed above. I would appreciate your suggestion for an additional position. The oldest child is 8 years away from post secondary.

Thank-you.

Q: After reading your most recent comments on the TSGI/FLTR transaction, I checked with my broker about the possibility of selling FLTR after the transaction closes in Q3 2020. My broker doesn't handle anything but CDN and USA stock exchanges. You've suggested that selling TSGI nearer the closing date (a year from now) might carry increased risk of share decline. That said, should I sell my $10k investment fairly soon, or sit and wait a while? Thanks.

Q: Concerning the 4 stocks that I own above - are they all cut from the same mold? It seems these and others in the same category are all down between 20 and 30% in the last 3 months according to the information Globe Investor supplies me. Is this the cause of investors panicking or is it something else? I watch BNN all the time and have heard things such as the S&P will be down another 10% within the next 6 months. Thank you. Dennis

Q: Can you suggest any companies in the energy sector that have a (very) solid balance sheet, are paying a dividend, and are growing or keeping their production constant ? I'm seeing lots of high dividends (Surge, Whitecap), but both of those still carry a fair amount of debt.

Q: Hi !
If I hold a canadian stock paying a US dividend in a non-registered account what is the tax treatment regarding US withholding tax and Cdn income tax benefit ?
For exemple, should I hold Algonquin Power (AQN-t) in my non-registered account or in my RRIF or TFSA ?
Thank you for helping in my confusion,
Jacques, IDS

Q: Is there ETF covering communication sector which trade in Canadian currency and on TSX which you would recommend?
Buying US ETF after converting Canadian to US dollars would give the purchase ~ 30 % premium which would be not cost effective

Q: I've been sitting on Pan Orient for a few years now. I've suffered the oil blues during the sector meltdown but this one has done well this year at least. They've had a couple of recent oil discoveries on their Thailand concessions and are starting a new drilling effort for gas in Indonesia. I'm thinking they will soon be increasing their profit notably. Would you hold out for higher gains or dump and move on?

Q: Good day, 5i May I please have the names of profitable nickel producers from either Canada or the U.S. that you would consider for new buying. I would also be interested in an ETF.
