Q: Hi Peter & company. Great job! We have recently sold all of our U.S. stocks because we were scared off due to the recent tax laws changes with respect to people with dual citizenship (US and other country). We don't have dual citizenship but this new tax is quite significant for those affected and the U.S. government seems to need to increase tax revenue. Do you think we were over cautious?

Q: Hello,
I have been slowing adding stocks from the model and income portfolios over the last 3 months. I currently own G,DHX,BAD,SGY,ESL,SLF,DSG & SJ. All with 5K original investments. I now have another 15K to invest. Should I buy more shares of the stocks that are down that I currently own (BAD&SJ) or add new positions? If new what stocks would fit best?
Many thanks
Luke

Q: Good afternoon,
I'm setting up a TFSA for my daughter who turns 18 next week. I plan on contributing the max $5500 at that time, and would like your suggestion on what to purchase. Ideally, I'd like this money to be available to her in 4-5 years for a downpayment on a house, so safety is important as well as equity appreciation (without a crazy amount of risk).
Thanks!
By the way, I'll likely be contributing $5500 each year for the first 4-5 years.

Q: Hi Team, Just wondering if it would be possible for you to put the full name of the company in instead of just the stock symbol if the person asking the question hasn't done so. When one does not know the market too well it takes a lot of time to look them all up but I assume you already know most of them. Thank you so much for all your information

Q: Hi, Any idea why the US insurance co, AET, is way down after a positive earnings report? I'm now 4% down. It's about 5% of my portfolio, intended as a safe pick to balance growth stocks. I'm about 50% growth and 50% blue chip dividend stocks overall.

As a long term investor should I sell or hold on? Thanks

Q: VALE.US
Do you have any thoughts on VALE.US? It's up only 6% in a year, but has a nice dividend. Any thoughts on upside or is it time to sell? Thanks!
