Q: GREETINGS:
Barry Allan was on Berman's call Jan 28. He has launched a new ETF
FGO, which is designed to outperform in times of recession. Only 125 mil
now, mer .60%. They are targeting 5-6% return after fees if we have a recession and 3-4 %, if not. He says that he is very cautious on prep
shares and floating rate instruments at this time. please comment.
Thanks, BEN. I would appreciate as much criticism of the ETF as you
will offer.

Q: I bought Fiera some time ago and am at a loss, but, do appreciate the dividend being paid. I am a senior, very conservative investor and a "buy and hold" investor to a serious fault. Please advise if the dividend is sustainable. Should this be sold or can I buy more to bring my cost down? I know you are not a fan of averaging down. Please suggest other stocks that provide a good dividend and have a favourable outlook.
Thank you for your great service.

Also the new management of Ms Thomas and its blockchain use in a new finch international marketing of their and other diamond producers. They also seem to consistently find huge record sized stones. As usual thank you for your consistent and clear analysis.

Q: I purchased bb last spring as a auto software play and also a China play with the entry into an agreement with a partner in China. Please give me your thoughts as to the validity of these reasons, and should I cash out at a 40% loss and move the money to another cdn. tech company like otex or any other suggestion you may have.
Cheers, Doug

Q: I've owned XYL for a year or so now and am about even on it. It seems to me to be doing a wonderful job at just about everything it does and yet it seems to be a volatile trader without much overall price improvement in the past 12 mos. I'd like to add more (currently @ 3% of my portfolio) but am waiting for it to go up and stay up...what am I missing?
