Core holding, along with SU and TOU. Of oil & gas, gas is probably the better bet right now with LNG coming onstream. Trump says a lot of things and, on the broken-clock theory, some of it may be accurate. But you can't just turn on the tap.
Considerable underinvestment in oil for a while, particularly in Canada. PM Carney is no particular friend of the sector. If onshoring of all this production comes back to America, they're going to have to power it somehow. And there won't be enough windmills, nuclear plants, or solar panels to do it.
Tariffs are being seen to hit the tech space to a greater degree. He doesn't know why this name in particular is being targeted. Believes all the tech stocks being hit today will bounce from here, though he's skeptical about a long-term trend up.
If you absolutely need the cash tomorrow, sell today. Otherwise, wait a day or two for a bounce.
With tariffs, could see the price of clothing go up. As Springsteen sang, textile jobs are not coming back to NA; clothes will still be imported. Impact on the clothing industry remains to be seen. Thinks prices will go higher, but people still need to get dressed. Onshoring will be a multi-year journey.
Correction is probably overdone, will probably bounce.

Under pressure for a while. Correction today is just going along with the market. If economic slowdown, base metal and commodity prices will suffer. Not a direct 1:1 tariff impact.
This is a moment that Canada has, as a country, to really take advantage of our position in the global dynamic. We need to show the world that we're open for business. It's not about just reacting to the president of the US, it's about what we want to be as a country when we grow up. If we're supposed to be united, why do we have all these inter-provincial trade barriers? Why do we make it so difficult to bring a mine into production? Right now, we're not an attractive venue to raise capital or to put $$ into the ground to make our wealth of resources available to the world.
No, caller's not crazy to want to buy. There will be a chance to reimagine what the car industry will be. Current US administration will be very partial to US manufacturing. Cross-border tariffs on auto parts won't affect it as much as people feared. Traditional US car companies may be better value than some of the more hyped players.
