Q: Hoping you can comment on your thoughts on stock based compensation in general and go into some details with Palantir (PLTR) specifics. It seems that PLTR are giving a very high amount of stock since it has gone public and seems to have a big impact on earnings per share despite revenue increasing. Is this common practice? Is this a product of it just going public? What concerns, if any, do have with this (e.g., diluting share holders)? Does this give you cause for concern about the long term potential for PLTR? Does stock based compensation tend to decrease in time with newly listed companies or is it often held consistent through time?

Q: Is PDBC a good hedge against inflation and would you recommend it ? What is the dividend with PCBC ? The information on my TD acct. and your website are very different. Are there eff's that provide the same commodity exposure that pay monthly or quarterly dividends that you would endorse. Thanks for your help.

Q: Like a lot of stocks, the homebuilders seemed to reach a bottom on June 17 and then have steadily marched upward. Quite briskly, in fact, even in the face of increasing interest rates. To what do you ascribe their stock improvement, which outmatches almost any other sector I can see, up 25%-30% in a month.

Q: Regarding US Equity Power Buffer ETF (PJUN): what is your take on this etf to hedge some of the potential downward movement of the S&P 500?. Or would you just hold more cash to try to hedge and protect the downside? How does this etf work and is it worth the MER?

Q: Hi Team,
Social media stocks crashed today based on SNAP's earnings. Meta (-7.5%) GOOG (-5.8%). To me...the logic of crashing shares of companies like Meta and GOOG as they are being compared to SNAP is just insane. Did this similar instance not just happen last earnings season? Only to have GOOG crush earnings? I guess my question is...do you agree that SNAP is no where close to being in the same league when it comes to its current business model? And if so...this should be a great buying opp for companies such as GOOG and META? It's days like today that make a person really question the integrity of whatever goes on on the floors of Wall Street. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hi Peter, could you list 5 Canadian and 5 US growth stocks with solid fundamentals that you consider the most unjustly oversold and that represent great buying opportunities at these levels?
