Q: Hi team,

Is the worst over for HCG and CRH? Or it is better to stay away for a bit longer?

If you had money to invest would you consider any of them at this time and what weight would you give it? Or would you put the money in another stock? Like what?

I am a growth investor and can take on moderate risk.

Thanks as always!

Q: Hello,

I have some cash in my TFSA. My return in this account has not been good.
I am looking to invest in a growth stock. Of all of these stocks I listed, which one would you recommend for me to invest in?

And if there is a better stock, which would you recommend?
Thank you.

Q: Good Morning;
I have sold a put at $15 on HCG maturing to-day. Do you think it is wiser to buy back the position to close the contract or to accept the assignment? The key consideration, of course, is whether the recent decline in HCG, in spite of Buffet's intervention, is likely to reverse any time soon (say in the next 6 months). I would appreciate your crystal ball reading here! Thanks for this excellent service you are providing.

Bob.

Q: An ex-client of HomeCapital who has made a few posts on Twitter has been saying that Home Capital illegally over-charges customers in trouble. Something about a section 8. Could you look at the statement shared in this tweet and tell us what you think? It seems unbelievable that clients could have been over-charged by tens of thousands of dollars without this having surfaced in the news before now. Apparently management has not answered questions regarding this. Truely, this story is turning into a mystery novel. Thanks.

Q: for my sons RESP can I get your opinion of the 3.25% 5 year GIC being offered by Home Capital? The amount is far below the $100,000 threshold.

Is a safe 3.25% a reasonable rate of return for an RESP that I need in 5 years time? Alternatively, would I be better to off with the investment strategy your team outlined which would have a higher potential yield but principle risk.

Your thoughts are appreciated,

Don

Q: With today's carnage on Bad and last weeks HCG and the fact that it is done from the States makes it obvious that shorting on the Canadian side is a lot easier and as you say without regulatory control. What makes it different in the States and why is it not here?

Q: Is there a case to be made for trading HCG with it sitting at current levels? I realize that your service advocates careful and balanced portfolio management but there do seem to be opportunities to harvest $.40/.50 cent swings.

As a second part to the question, do you see the company going to Zero or has it already bottomed out as CXR and VRX did before it with the short attacks. The underlying business seems better than it is getting credit for but perhaps that doesn't matter.
