Q: Hello,
In your article on option investing you mentionned the value of being diversified. I understood that as being diversified in your portfolio in general, and not necessarily in the stocks which you sell options on. Am I right in that?

I was going to sell options this week on both Apple and CALM this week, to get this diversification. I noticed, however, that i would, at least at this time, get about twice as much for the same amount of money by investing in Calm rather than Apple. So, i doubled up on Calm. Is there a problem in this? That is, did i miss something on the question of diversification?
thanks

Q: Hi team,
CLR reported record earnings for 2015,on the 22 and the stock has been in a downtrend since. Were investors disappointed about the company not raising the dividend or did the share price get ahead of itself before numbers were released?
Would a 15.00$ price target reasonable a year out?
Thank you.

Q: I have read Ryan's recent blog on budget spending. He mentions wastewater and water treatment infrastructure spending. Are there any listed Canadian companies that are dominant in this area, and likely to benefit? If not what foreign companies are leaders here already?
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter, What do you think about Score now-a-days? I bought it from growth portfolio recommendation last year. I am down 75% from my buying price. This is .80% of my portfolio now. Should I just take the loss and move on. I am a Software Architect and recently went to a mobile conference and fortunately spoke to their SVP. He was saying pretty good things about their business and the team(his claim is his team is best in Canada after Google and Shopify). Anyways, I don't know, it is like asking barber if I need a haircut. I can hold on to this for 5 years as it is in My RRSP. But considering your business analysis do you think it is worth holding or should I just switch to something else? Your detailed analysis please.

Q: Hi Peter, I bought it last year on your recommendation and then this wild price movement. Anyways, it is back up again at my buying price. I know you dropped the coverage. Is it still a good company to hold for long term(with future earning visibility) or should I just sell and switch it to something else(more stable and growing earning power)? If you suggest to switch can you please suggest your best 3 stocks today(considering current price) that have highest possibility of total return on a risk adjusted basis?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Just spent too much time writing my question and got stopped out...so I will be brief. In the event of a global financial collapse... because we are drowning in debt... who will survive? How can we prepare...own hard assets like land, gold or silver coins, the minings stocks, be debt free with no mortgage? Are there any sectors which would benefit? Your thoughts please...so I can sleep better! Ha! Ha!
With respect...

Q: MAL Chairman of the Board, N. Murray Edwards owns 74% of the common shares. I know we like the executives to have skin in the game, but does this high of a percentage create any concern? The annual financial form does state that no owner controls more than 10% of the voting shares.
Thanks

Q: NeuLion "before tax" EPS is relatively flat over the past 5 years at $0.01, with their 2015 "after tax" EPS bump coming from a $27.8M "income tax benefit" (Common shares outstanding have grown from ~139M to ~280M since 2011, a 200% increase.) Any idea what this "income tax benefit" is? Will it continue to occur going forward?

Q: Peter; Would this ETF be buying the " new" bank issued preferreds.

Plus re the " egg on your face" comment I would ask David to watch BNN Market Call guests explain their Past Picks , some down 25-75 %. If every stock 5i picked went up they would be under investigation !
Keep up the good work . Publish if you wish.
