Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: What do you think about buying some David's Tea at this price leve? I really like the brand and I'm a regular customer but didn't want that to skew an investment decision.

Thank you

Q: Hi there,
Could I please get a brief analysis and your opinion on Canadian Solar. It is trading at a low p/e and is approx 40-45% down from it's high. With all the recent talk about clean energy is this stock a buy? It appears to be under valued, contracts world wide and has a decent insider ownership? Why is is down so much? What is the risk level and growth outlook over the next couple years. Thanks, Kerri

Q: Hi Team

I noted your comment to Shyam on Dec 1st regarding Google. In the tech sector would you see Google or our own CSU as being the preferred choice for a long term hold?

Thanks.

Q: I bought it in Feb. 2015 at $85 only to see low of $67 in the summer. I am still holding it, but ... what are the prospects of recovering and going to $85-$90 ? I read that the high US $ is hurting their EPS because lots of their products are sold in overseas locations, any light at the end of the tunnel ?

Q: I would never view the TVIX as investing -- unless one considers volatility an investment. That said, it seems it has a place in a PF in a very small way -- say 1% or less. The index seems to consistently settle in the 5.75-6.00 range as a low and when a world event comes along that causes the markets to get volatile, it can shoot up a lot in a heck of a hurry -- a bit of an insurance policy. The time to buy this is when all seems tickety-boo. What are your thoughts on this strategy. Thanks and great job by all.

Q: Hello much of our exposure to US is through etf's in Canada. However we do hold some stocks directly and would like to buy Visa. Do you see any significant risk to a rally in the US dollar over the next couple of years. It is just that Us $$s are so expensive presently. Thank you
