Q: I see ABCL is taking it on the chin today down 12% as I type this question. Since about January 1, 2021 I have been considering selling my NVTA and putting the money in ABCL but have done nothing to date. (Procrastination is sometimes the key to success)! NVTA weighting is 1.5%. 2 Questions...
Do you think ABCL has better long term prospects than NVTA and would you be interested in ABCL at +/- $31.50 USD? Or do you think I should use the basket approach and hold both?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: What's the reason behind the current slip of BEP.UN/BEPC and BIP.UN/BIPC? These two combos should be steady industrial stocks and not subject to the stumble currently affecting the tech stocks?

Q: Question regarding Google's announcement of changes to third party cookies and your thoughts on the potential benefits this may bring for some companies. I know its affecting companies like TTD but wouldnt ROKU benefit because they have their own ecosystem and can see what people watch, search for etc. or a company like FB who can see status's, conversations, group posts about products people still share so much information plus instagram (sharing info between the two). Or a PINS who again has its own ecosystem and can use that data to sell ads on its own site... hope this makes sense.

Also as of right now with the further rotation out of growth, what are your top 5 "buy now" companies that you *could* see rebounding quite nicely when the dust settles.

Q: I am investigating buying AC playing the “ back to normal “ theme. While it’s generally agreed that the number of customers will bounce back, and possibly even exceeding previous numbers , I am trying to determine the profile of these travellers ; will business bounce as much as vacationers , what will be the favourite travel destinations, how long will it take to play out etc. ? Do you know of any links that have done an in-depth investigation into the airline industry or AC in particular? Thanks. Derek

Q: RE my question about criteria for buyable microcaps. I cannot remember anything specific to help locate this item in the feed. As an alternative, could you suggest several criteria to help deciding if a microcap is worth considering for purchase: e.g., certain level of booked revenues etc.

Q: Would large investors be upset that the current share price of $7.68 is much lower than what they agreed to pay for the financing deal ($9.80). I don’t think the stock has closed higher than the financing price.

Q: Good morning team,
A few years ago I purchased ZAG as my bond portfolio for a long-term hold. It did will rising to $17.15, but as interest rates rose and it declined to my purchase price of $16.40, and given that I am over 70 years old, I sold out to preserve capital. I am looking for an alternative, safer place to put the fixed income portion of my portfolio. GICs and money market funds offer weak returns. I am looking at ZST (and ZUS for $US). Do you think these are a good places to go for safety of capital and rising return assuming interest rates continue to go up?

Q: What is your interpretation of Google's announcement of changes to third party cookies and their effects on online advertisers? From my amateur perspective this looks like an existential risk to the sector and either this or future changes could eliminate them; and google is both a competitor and market regulator via browsing interface standards.
Any guidance is appreciated.
