Q: A few months have gone buy since this company listed and I see no questions on it. Can I get your thoughts on HAYW now that they have reported a couple of quarters. The price has had a bit of a hit, but the Q2 didn't look too bad. How would you consider the growth potential for HAYW? Is there still some settling out that needs to occur or would this be a good time to jump in?

Q: Can I get your opinion on some publicly traded bitcoin mining companies. The only player in Canada I've come across is HUT 8.
Specifically:
1. Do you see these as actual viable companies / viable business models or just another play on rising bitcoin prices?
2. earlier this year [Feb/21] you noted you didn't see much differentiation between any particular publicly traded mining companies. Has that view changed since then.
3. Can you explain the massive rise in prices in late 2020 and the recent drop? Just tied to the price of bitcoin?

Thanks (as always) for the excellent service and assistance

Q: I am having difficulty making sense of the recent loss for this company. The results appear to be penalized by losses applying to a change in the fair value of debentures as well as derivatives which together are greater than the EBITDA earnings. I was wondering how relevant these are to the company's prospects and whether the resulting valuation justified the fall in the share price. Thank you for your response.

Q: I had been thinking about but Tencent for a long time. With the recent bargain basement price, I'm still willing to take a small punt despite the current risk. It's a long term play.

But perhaps I'm too incautious, even for a 'play'. When I tried to buy on Questrade, I got the following message: "You're attempting to buy enter a position in an OTC/PINK sheet listed security. The following risks may limit your ability to sell your position in the future...".

Can you explain what 'OTC/PINK sheet listed security' means. I take this as a serious warning sign but am still tempted to buy under the belief that China would be shooting itself in the foot to undermine the company long-term.
