Q: Are we seeing yet another short attack here?
Looks like they had a very positive announcement with the ABS notes just yesterday and now the stock is getting decimated. Why do these short attacks keep happening in Canada is there anything we can do about it. HCG, CRH, BAD, I'm sure there are others that I can't recall. Its getting tough to be a Canadian small/midcap investor.

Q: Hello Team, I have around 10% of my TFSA money in CPG which has de-valued by 30% since buying. My question is should I consider selling, reducing or continue holding the position? The stock seems to depreciate much more than other energy stocks. I fail to understand the rapid slide down in price. Even in last year, when crude was around $30, the price of the stock was much higher than the present one. Any other news in the offing which I am missing? Thank you for all valuable suggestions that you have given me so far!

Q: Can you provide some data points around dividend "growers" companies and if not available dividend companies in general. Current P/E forward looking vs. historic average and ranges. Just wanting to get an idea on how much higher than the average these stocks are currently compared to historic levels, how overvalued they "may" be to help assess downside risk. Thanks!

Q: Foreign asset and currency exposure.

As a retiree, I am concerned about the non-Canadian content of my portfolio. While all my holdings are listed in Canada, an increasing portion of the issuers' assets and/or revenue is in other countries, primarily US.

Are there any meaningful fx predictions for the next 5 years?

Is it fair to assume that issuers which report in US dollars will hedge, if at all, foreign revenue to US dollars and disregard
the fx risk of US revenue to its Canadian shareholders, even in cases (eg Brookfield) which are managed in Canada? On the other hand, I suppose that issuers which report in CAD would be motivated to hedge their USD revenue.
