Q: I initiated a half position in NVDA recently when it dipped below $200. I know you really like it.

Q: Lots of questions about this one.
One argument I've heard for why the stock isn't up on the dividend news is that the dividend isn't tax efficient for US holders, who evidently own about 40% of ECN float. That coupled with the embedded gains and worry about taxes increasing has them selling now, and the CDN demand for those shares being sold isn't enough to push the stock price higher.
If this is true, it may limit the near term opportunities even after the dividend if Americans feel burned that they didn't get a good deal out of a great deal made by ECN.
That all said, I've added to my already large position due largely to management and they're proven abilities.
My 2 cents, curious what you think.

Q: Hi folks
Iron ore is plummeting. Im thinking of selling then getting back in when demand starts to pick up again. It is in a non registered account and part in my TFSA. Or do you feel this may be short lived and just hang in for the dividend?
Much thanks

Q: VQS jumped after that Alta Fox report a few months ago, but has fallen back a little. Do you like VQS now that it has come down a little, and do you see it as a stock that has long-term potential to out perform (or do you like some other small/mid cap companies better e.g. SYZ)
