Q: Hello,
Do I have the right to tell my (discount) broker not to lend my shares to short sellers? Alternatively can I ask the broker to share whatever he receives from such a loan?
Thanks in advance

Q: I , as an investor, agree with you that no company shall be judged by its single quarter performance unless it is extremely bad . SIS after an improved performance in the last quarter compared to last year ,has been beaten to ground . The stock price has slided back to its level in Jan2017. So , in nutshell, it appears that all aquisitions and imprved performance that SIS boasts in the last 2 years at all fronts including dividend increase have no relevance. It looks as if the market and values do not follow any logic/science. Do you still think it is worth holding this stock?

Q: I am missing something with Savaria
Where is the big miss in the quarter. is it not expected with the acquisition of Garaventa, that the EBITDA would be affected. there 9 month numbers are up substantially, With the sell off today would you be a buyer now?
With Crius the sell seems warranted as they continue to disappoint. Are you willing to hold?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,
Thanks for the great service Peter and Ryan. It is trying times for portfolios

We picked up AMZN (2%), KXS (1%), ZCH (2%) and GOOGL (1%) in the last few days. Also owned is BABA (3%), NVDA (2%). We have 25% in cash available. Is tech recommended to be 15% or 20% of a portfolio as of today with all the recent drops? I am going against the grain here for a bump up in 2019. Of AMZN, BABA, KXS, GOOGL, FB, MFST, BIDU, & PHO, and an outlier BYD.UN which 2-3 stocks are most appealing for a recovery?

Cheers
Jerry and Debbie
