Q: Hi!
I'm a new investor who is interested mostly in ETFs and mutual funds. I'd like to diversify my portfolio by region (e.g. Canada, US, global, international, emerging).
I have some cash on hand that I would like to invest. However, given the ongoing bull market, I'm concerned about an imminent correction. I was wondering if you could suggest some places to invest. Is it safe to invest in international or emerging markets at this moment? Or should I keep my money in cash and wait for a correction?
Thanks!
Q: I see the President, Shane Peet, abruptly left the company Nov.9th.. He had been with the company since inception.
Sounds a bit disturbing. Do you know why? Should we read anything into this considering quarterly results? Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Is KML only holds Canadian pipe line assets, and that means only holds Trans Mountain pipe line, if the expansion blocked that would be very bad for KML ?
Your comment is highly appreciated.
Thanks as always,

Q: I've recently sold my holdings and am entirely in cash. I'm wondering whether I should wait for a correction and take advantage of some bargains or whether I'm better off getting my money invested and not worrying about marketing timing. I realize you cannot "crystal ball gaze" but I'm interested in your comments regarding staying in cash and waiting for an opportunity to present itself vs. getting back into a portfolio. Thank you.

Q: In a 7 figure account that I manage I need to add a telco for about $20K. This account already has close to equal amounts of Rogers, BCE and Telus. The decision is between topping up those three or adding COG. As you know the stock has been on fire this year but why? Can you shed some light?
Q: Hi, I just read an article,that said the high price at the pumps were do to the refineries getting higher margins. If that is the case,and it is not the first time I heard this, then there must be some companies in Canada that are doing really good? The oil and gas sector has been down for years, getting impatient I guess.
I was thinking of selling my energy companies WCP,PEY&TOG and replacing them with refinery or related companies for more growth.
Do you agree with this switch, and could you name two or three stock that you could recommend.
Thanks,
