Q: Over the weekend I was reading about the potential for mean reversion producing a rebound in value stocks in the US. Do you think this makes sense overall, or is it just about as likely as any of the ten thousand other 'this is what is going to happen' stock market ideas? And, do you have any CAD US based ETFs that would fit this profile and that you would recommend? Thank-you, again.

Q: picCould you please put into context the recent earnings from PIC.A. The operating profit of 14.9M and the increase in net assets attributable to class A shareholders of 10.1M does not give me any feel for whether the company has done a good job over the past six months or not or whether that performance is consistent with or better or worse than previous periods in relation, perhaps, to their underlying investments. Thank you.

Q: Allo/Hello,
There is a cease trade order since May1st on WAYLAND Group (WAYL) because of late financial statements. Why is this canadian company stock allowed to be negociated on OTC in US$? (MRRCF). It happened to me in the past but my broker refused to trade in the US, even if some holders said on blogs that they were doing it. The $US stock is down more than 50% since May . Not fair, but may be legal ... Thanks.

Q: Ray Dalio and David Rosenberg to opinions i highly respect sure paint a gloomy picture of the next 10-20 years.
Rays suggested Portfolio weightings 7.5% Gold 7.5% other Commodities, 40% Long term bonds and 15% Intermediate bonds 30% stocks and 7.5% other.
My question is on Bonds, Specifically Govt treasuries , this would be the TLT correct?
and wouldn't Govt treasuries be seen as much safer than say the XLB which are municipal bonds, I have heard some fund managers on BNN say they wouldn't touch an Ontario provincial bond because of the provinces Debt. So that being said is there a version of the TLT that is available for me to buy?
Thanks Gord
