Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
The US market has not done well in May and may get worse due to the trade war with China. The volatility of the market increased significantly. People also talk about a possible recession. I am a long term investor. I have some cash available now. I am a bit hesitant to invest in either US or Canadian market, as the two stock markets are somehow connected. Do you think I should wait a bit or invest in some attractive stocks after the recent market drop? What are they if you recommend the latter?
Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: Is Prometic Life Sciences, in your opinion, still a viable company??
I am trying to determine if the current offer of 20 shares for every share owned is worth the small investment required. The shares are currently trading at 035 cents and the offer would provide the additional shares at around a tenth of a cent (if my calculation is correct) This sounds like one of those deals that is too good to be true but I am not 100% convinced. What do you think

Thanks for your thoughts
