Q: Hi Gang, wondering if there will be an update report for capital power coming soon; looks like it's a yearly ritual ☺️. Till then, do you see this recent drop as a good leg in? I thought last qtr was a good report and company seems like it's executing it's strategy. Did I miss something or is this a reaction to higher for longer interest rates?

Q: This period of seasonal weakness is a great time for some early Christmas shopping. I sold a part position in NVO a while ago and am looking to reinvest proceeds to increase my health care holdings.

Considering current valuations, what would you recommend as a good complement to expand and diversify?

Thanks in advance.

Q: This is about the question asked by Paul regarding tax consequences. I am not sure I understand your answer, you say that "one can even sell in late December (as long as the sell settles in 2023) and then in January and shift the tax burden a full year". In a case like this I would have thought of selling very early in January 2024 instead. Could you comment? Thank you

Q: Awhile ago a G & M columnist wrote a reply to a question and gave advice and details about selling a U.S. listed stock. He recommended not doing it all at once for tax reasons and I am wondering what your thoughts would be. I bought 300 shares of QQQ in the 1990's at about $43/share. It has grown to be a significant portion of my non registered account. I was thinking of selling 100 shares each of the next three years to lessen the tax consequences. (I am a buy and holder). Thoughts and consequences?
Cheers
Paul

Q: There’s a widely held belief that a recession will occur fairly soon which would see the US ten year yield decline, but there are also bond experts now predicting that the yield could rise above 13% within seven years. If that happens, does it mean that dividend paying “bond proxies” like pipelines, telcos and utilities will just keep drifting lower? Does the same apply to mining companies? What’s the investment thesis for such assets in a world of rising yields?

Q: Good afternoon. Just a brutal 5-7 days for the Canadian telcos, pipelines and utilities.

Besides the usual narrative(s) of higher rates for longer and a Fed now suggesting 2 vs 4 rate cuts in 2024, is there anything else at play here that should cause a retired yield-focused investor cause for concern?
