Q: Where can I find a source of long run stock analysis --- say 30 years --- to look at "what if" scenarios looking at the stock using DRIP and not using DRIP. I prefer Dividend Aristocrats. Is there a list of Canadian Dividend Aristocrats? I read that in thirty years Royal Bank went from $3 to $100 and their dividend grew to equal the $3 cost of the stock 30 years ago thereby realizing a 100% yield. This reinforces the "buy and hold" philosophy.

Thank you for the great service. I just renewed for another 2 years. In regards to Photon Control, would this be a good time to take profits and buy back in at another time?

Q: I have held Stella Jones for over a year and it has finally started to move. I wonder if all the metal poles I see are hurting this companies bottom line. Could you clarify what you see as the future prospects or would it be better to sell at a modest profit and move on to a better story.
Q: Would you say that the end of the strike at CEZinc is a good sign that zinc is headed in the right direction? I would think that when the production is not needed there is no rush to settle. Would you view this as a positive for the sector in general? For Trevali Mining is this a positive or a negative? Thanks!
Q: SIS just broke through resistance of 17.40 or so on a little above average volume on Friday, even though the US market was only open half the day.
Would you think it would be a good time to add a little here given its all time high or wait to see if it cools off a little first?
Thanks

Q: Sorry this is going to be a long question and I suspect your response will be market timing never works and stick to your guns. Everyone seems to be singing off the same playbook indicating that the majority of economies are enjoying synchronized growth and it’s full steam ahead. That may be the case but have to believe that on the balance of probabilities markets are due for a fall. The question is how do you minimize risk for taxable accounts, which enjoy sizeable gains? I am reluctant to utilize derivatives given the cost and complexity and no assurance of success. If you had to sell certain stocks in a taxable account, what would be the nature of those stocks? Any particular sector? What securities would you view as core holdings? What do u think of structuring a taxable portfolio with a mix of Cdn dividend paying stocks and high growth technology stocks? This would provide flexibility in controlling tax, given that a drop in the former class of securities would not matter as the dividend income would continue and you could control the gains generated by the latter class. Thx

Q: What ETF or method would you recommend for an investor who wants to hold some gold (bullion, not the miners), unhedged to the Canadian dollar and with good liquidity. I have heard so many gold bugs talk about the importance of investing in “physical” gold as opposed to “paper” gold. Do you believe this thesis of “physical” gold and does GLD (US) meet this requirement?
Q: In a question today about holding physical gold you said: “Sprott set up PHYS to address these issues, and also stores its gold outside Canada.“
Can you please clarify if you meant PHYS stores it’s gold outside Canada? I thought it was stored at Canada’s Mint. Thank you.
