Q: I own a small position in HLF (775 shares). Would you suggest dumping them even if at small loss to get that money working somewhere smarter or is there hope for a share price recovery in the near-term (next 12 months)? My take is that there have been some decisions made to correct the course but I am not super optimistic. Any thoughts appreciated.
Thx,
M.

Q: You have 10K US to invest. Which two US stocks would you invest in today? and why? (~10 yr period).....The trade war in the US is making stocks unstable, in my mind this is temporary until they get things figured out...Do you see US stocks continuing to fall over this trade issue or level out as everyone figures out the sky is not falling? I know this will be just a speculation but I like your take on world events! Thanks Guys I appreciate everything you do daily!!!

Q: With the recent news on Obsidian energy seeking $100 million of unsecured fixed income, How does one find out what OBE's bond rating is? B plus or higher or lower?
Not an investor of this company, I just find this strange in the present environment, but understand why they would pursue this avenue.
