Q: Do you think Blink looks interesting at these levels for a long term hold? Anything to do with the EV industry has been beaten up but sales are going to inevitably increase. Are you aware which business currently has a stranglehold on the home EV charging ports?
Thanks

Q: ALA announced Nov21 the redemption of ALA.PE . Yet these preferred had a big jump 2 weeks earlier. ALA.PG, to be reset in 2024, also jumped. Was it the Earning report or the Note offering that would trigger such a move. Or a crystal ball ? The stock itself was flat. Thanks,

Q: Recently a question response included something to the effect that "the Berkshire basket of companies are higher quality than the entire market". I couldn't find the exact answer but I have pondered it a lot!

Would BRK.B be "higher quality" than VFV? I currently hold a decent amount of VFV and a tiny bit of BRK.B. It feels like all "the rules/norms" have been discarded for last several years but for next 5 -10 years which would you favor?

Thanks!

I am looking to invest in healthcare for a registered account(RESP). Could you please provide me with your recommendations.

I would also request two other stocks outside health/finance and energy, perhaps info tech/cons staples for the same account

Q: Imperial is doing a modified Dutch auction. I know in general in past comments you seem to have suggested not tendering to these offerings, I think at least in part because if you still believe in the company then after the shares are bought back you own a bigger piece of a company you already like? What is the opposite side of this decision, why do people tender to these offers? Are you aware of anything in this particular offering that makes it attractive? (As an additional wrinkle, if I read the details correctly, if the shares are held by an IOL employee in their company savings plan, the disposition would be considered a dividend for tax purposes as opposed to a capital gain). Any thoughts appreciated.
