Q: Hi,

I have some questions to ask:

1) I have noticed that there has been insider buying in Whitecap Resources (WCP) and Raging River Exploration (RRX), but they dropped by 2% and 4.5% respectively on March 30. Do you have any comments/idea why this happened?

2) Why is MacDonald Dettwiler (MDA) finally moving upside?

3) Peter Lynch avoids investing in computer stocks since new computer/tech companies keep popping up. But he also mentioned keep an open mind to new ideas. In Davos Economic Forum it was mentioned that we are currently in the fourth industrial revolution which is electronic based. Do you have any suggestions for stocks participating in this trend?

Thank you.

Q: 10,000 Americans a day will reach the age of 65 and this will continue for the next 19 years. That's 3,500,000 a year times 19 years. More walkers, hips, knees, wheelchairs, nursing homes, retirement homes, pain pills, drugs. More of what Savaria ( SIS ) produces. Great for Savaria !

What other Canadian & U.S. Companies will benefit from this great explosion of aging of America . Is Canada in a similar situation. Baby Boombers, Bob

Q: I was wondering if you could add anything to my understanding of this company whose share price has stagnated over the past year. The takeover of Jarden was well received by analysts and the quarterly results afterward seemed to suggest things were progressing well. A number of analysts recommend the stock so is it just range bound at this time for no particular reason or is there something else at play?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: This may be an off the wall question but it relates to Tesla's quest to build electric stations throughout the world to energize electric cars and the consequential loss of market share of ATD/B in it's gas station units should Tesla succeed.
The question is: do you feel that an investment in both companies simultaneously would be a better bet than opting for one or the other?
