Q: CBM one I have seen you mention before pulled back sharply on Friday and has since recovered somewhat by the end of the day up to $37.00. Super Micro has dropped about 35% since January. Seeking Alpha has said that this is a buy at the $30.00 range. What is your opinion on these two US stocks? Dennis

Q: Canadian Solar is trading on the US stock exchange and, to my knowledge, is not trading in Canada although a Canadian Company. I would be interested in your assessment of this Company. With the demand for solar expanding and the cost of solar panels dropping it would seem like a good long term investment. What do you think.

Q: Hi there,

I have been looking for an entry point for this technology player and am wondering if you think this is a good entry point. I show 25X this year's earnings - but it is off from its high and i have struggled with its valuation but the stock has always been pricey compared to its canadian counterparts. Do you think there is more downside here and a better entry point or worth stepping in now.

Q: Can you please give me advice on how to purchase us stocks in the most cost efficient manner.

I do not have very much in consumer staples and would look toward the US side to diversify.

I would consider purchasing proctor and gamble for example and 1000 shares would be > 80 000 $ US.

I have the funds in canadian dollars. I presently self manage my portfolio through BMO investor line.

how would you recommend proceeding with such a purchase in the most cost / fee efficient manner.

would you recommend an ETF in the consumer staples sector instead ?

thank you

Ernie

Q: I bought this etf a year ago. It is in my RRSP US account. The etf is up 7%. Should i sell and buy it back when it dips. It has 0.15% expense ratio. Can you treat these etf's like stocks, or should it be held long term. It keeps fluctuating, so I thought of cashing in. Is it a good strategy. Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and team. For the most part, I am a buy and hold investor with a very long time horizon especially for dividend-paying stocks. However, I also use a buy-write strategy where I write covered calls on stocks. For example, I am considering doing this with AAPL $135 calls expiring in July (07/17/15) that last traded at $4.46. So, if buy 100 shares stock and write 1 call, three month upside (after transaction fees) about $900 for a $13000 investment (7%) Any thoughts or advice on this? (E.g. what time frame for calls would you suggest? Any "art" of selecting the best delta?) Thanks for great service!
