Q: My previous question asked your advice on an offer received for my NXPI shares. I tendered them shortly afterward.
Since then there have been more extensions and I'm concerned about the lack of closure.Because I am unfamiliar with the process I would appreciate your opinion on the options. A recommendation on the course to follow would be welcome.

Q: Any insight or info on the ICC sell-off the last several trading sessions? Over a week removed from earnings release so would have expected to see that last week.
I know you're not huge fans of the sector and even less so on an Uruguay play but any intel would be appreciated. I do find it a more interesting option than the oversaturated Canadian players.

Q: Hi, After announcing a blowout quarter, stock has been drifting lower for past few weeks.The looming bankruptcy of Toys R'us has been cited as one of the reasons. Toys R'us being one of the major retailer of Spin Master products, what is the likely impact, in your view, Spin Master sales, in near term. How would the company cope with this ?

On a different note, S & P Dow Jones group announced addition of Spin Master to TSX Composite as at Sep/18 closing. What is the approximate expected demand of TOY shares for this event ? Thanks

Q: I'm interested in VGK, VWO and VPL. They've all been doing quite well for some time now. Would you wait for some weakness before buying, or do you expect that all these funds will continue to outperform? I notice that the first two funds are doing a bit better than their Canadian-dollar counterparts, VE and VEE. Would you attribute that mainly to the composition of the funds? Thanks very much for your advice.

Q: Hi,

After having been burned regularly by buying oil gas stocks in the last few years - despite being assured prices are on the verge of recovery - I am reticent. I am interested in pipeline stocks because they seem less volatile, have good dividends, and some have been hit hard (Enbridge), can you answer this?
1) what do you think of pipelines in the next couple years? is there a better alternative for some growth and generous dividend?
2) buy now or wait for 5% position
3) what would be your top and second pick?
