Q: Peter and Team:

Could you please explain (if not to complex) why the halving on the discount between WCS and WTI did not result in a decent bounce in Canadian Oil Producing Stocks.

Thanks

Would you be able to suggest a couple of stocks with value, momentum and a chance for higher pricing or spending either in Canada or US. I have some cash but I am hesitant at current valuations in general.

Q: My life is increasingly shifting towards the U.S. (grandchildren live there and my wife is a U.S. citizen and we spend six months ever year there, with more time likely). as such, the U.S. dollar plays a bigger part of our lives. Added to that is my bearish outlook for the Can. Dollar and my belief a recession is becoming more likely. In the event of a global recession, is there any credible scenario in which the Can. dollar would appreciate vs. the Greenback. And could you provide any historical data regarding how the Can.$ fares vs. the U.S.$ in a recessionary situation.

Q: My apologies - I forgot to say that I was looking to invest in that thesis with US stocks. I'd like to invest in the thesis that low-mid level income earners are going to start having more income based on a resurgent economy, lower taxes, and a very tight labor market along with reduced immigration. Can you suggest 3-4 companies that would really benefit from this scenario?
