Q: I have owned Altagas for about a year now and have been very happy with the growth so far _ app 30% for me. However now I am beginning to wonder if it has gone up too much and now the only way to go is down?? What are your views on its potential for the next 18 months? Is there some sort of expansion of operations upcoming?

Q: Lots of good Q&A lately on parking short term cash.

I have $100K to invest. Are one of these more suitable than the others for quickly withdrawing an amount as required when I want to purchase stocks or equity ETF's?

Would you feel comfortable putting the whole amount in any one of these, or is it best to diversify a bit?

Do you have a recommended USD version(s) for my USD account ?

Q: In June this year you named this company as one of your favorite cyclicals. I didn't buy it but it has dropped significantly since then. I am considering buying it now as it looks like EPS has exceeded expectations for at least the last 4 Q's. Would you still consider it a buy or have fundamentals changed? Thank you. John

Q: I know you prefer to purchase US stocks in US currency. Does this apply to US Bond ETFs as well? Further, I'm trying to determine the percentage of corporate and government bonds to purchase (15%). Is the risk/reward associated with each type of bond ETF very different? I'm assuming that corporate bonds are riskier than government. Any insight or resources that could give me guidance would be appreciated. I appreciate any help you can provide.

Q: Just finished reading both questions and your report on CPH ..... I don't see any resemblance between your report and the current company .... Could you give me the " Cole's Notes " review of the state of the current company ? What's positive in the pipeline ? What's negative ? I see the failure of the nail fungus drug initially dropped the stock $5 but it has recovered since. Does that mean the drug is not dead ? Thanks for your terrific service ..... { any plans to update that report ? }

Q: Portfolio Analytics has suggested I reduce of my exposure in the Financial Services sector. My holdings consist of ACGL and BN at a full position plus AD.UN, BNS, and TD at a 1/2 position each.

My thought is to reduce BN to a half postion and sell AD.UN (after the current uptrend). I would keep ACGL for its International exposure and diversification. The banks, I just consider a long term hold

Is a full position of ACGL too high?

Is there a suggested balance amongst the subsectors?

Any other comments would be appreciated.

Thank you

Q: I’m recently retired and looking to set up a 2-year cash wedge inside my RRSP account. I already have about 20% invested in CBIL. I’m trying to decide if I should keep adding to CBIL or invest in something like ZMMK. I’m leaning towards ZMMK because of the slightly better current return, bigger size and maybe it will retain a slightly higher return in the future assuming interest rates continue to go down? Does this make sense? Is there a better instrument(s) to use to set up a cash wedge? Am I simply overthinking this 😊!
