Q: I'm considering buying an out of the money call on AEM expiring next Jan. or Feb . As you're aware the stock and call prices are very depressed at this time. If gold prices take of at some point, the calls should do quite well. I now own a small position in GDX at a sizeable loss (20%)
Your comments appreciated.
thanks

Q: For the technology portion of one of my portfolios I've held 75% XLK and 25% FDN. Since XLK will be reconfigured this month, what ETFs do you think would best represent the technology sector moving forward? Also what about timing with the changes being made to XLK?

Thanks!

Q: I feel the pot stocks have entered a bubble not unlike the tech bubble in 2000.

I think there could be a lot of money made on the short side here. Can you please suggest 2 or 3 stocks
In this area that you think have the highest chance of going to or near zero one this bubble bursts. Both US and Canadian equities.

Thanks

Q: I own a significant number of shares weighted against my overall portfolio in GWO through an employer savings program and am perplexed as to why the stock never seems to gain any traction. With higher rates and an improving profit picture for the company I thought the shares would begin to move over the last year but the opposite has happened. What are the prospects for this stock in the next 3-5 years? Should I replace some of the shares with shares of another company or a few others? Thank you, Ian

Q: I bought shares in this company last week hoping for a good earnings announcement yesterday. The earnings were a little lower than expected and the stock is down roughly 8% from my average cost. I don't see that any questions have been asked about this company before and am interested in your thoughts. Is this one worth holding onto? Thank you as always.

Q: With precious metals, and most other metals at depressed levels, and with junior oil and gas out of favour, is it sensible to believe that only superior issues will find financing? Therefore Is now the time to buy flow through shares?
