Q: Hi Peter/Ryan
Your opinion on below statement on Nutrien please. Is this positive for NTR and will support slide ? What will be the impact?

Canadian fertilizer giant Nutrien will auction its 23.77-per-cent share in Chile´s SQM on Dec. 3, the Chilean stock exchange said on Wednesday, a final step toward completing the sale of a coveted stake in the world´s No. 2 lithium producer to China´s Tianqi.
In a statement, the local stock exchange said the minimum bid would be set at $65 per share, for a total package price of $4.066 billion.

Thanks

Q: Not a lot of questions/comments on this one and the last report is June 2017 (unless I have missed something).
It continues to fall. I have been able to sell half of my position so far (liquity). I still have a significant gain on the second half. Should I hang on to this other half or will the likelihood "that earnings will likely taper in 2019" as referenced consensus states, contribute to or cause a stall in the stock's momentum and therefore best set aside this stock for a quarter or two?

As always, Thank You

Q: Hello Peter & Ryan,

After 2 incredibly gut wrenching months on the markets and the so-called repricing of equities, today the markets were cheering and have pushed indexes on both sides of the border into what appears like a 'relief' rally>
My question is a 2 part question:.

1. I would really like your insights into what were market participants betting on today and perhaps going forward. Is this possibly a "head fake" setting the market up for another wild journey or do you think that the market believes that concerns around: (a) interest rates (do not have much further to go) and, (b) that the US and China might be able to agree on a truth of sorts this weekend.

2. If the above concerns (question 1) become reality in the next month or so, what is your advice to members? What should investors chip away at in order to perhaps recover losses and defend their positions. I realize this a very broad question, but would appreciate your top 6 defensive picks, regardless of asset classes, that will boost our portfolios in the next 3 to 5 years.

Thank you very and much appreciate your opinion,
Joseph

Q: Good morning Peter & Team,
Part of GM's rationale (so they say) for closing the Oshawa plant and others is to focus on 'autonomous' vehicles that, according to a GM spokesperson, "don't hit each other". How will this affect the core business of Boyd in the medium and long term? Thanks to 5i, I have some fabulous gains on this stock and am wondering if and when I should take some profits. (BYD.UN is 2.55% of our overall portfolio).
Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: I'm considering tax loss for FB and returning to it in a month.

It looks like its price is stabilizing now, but I imagine my crystal ball is working as well as anyone elses.

I'm a big fan of the stock but can't see how it can overcome such steady bad press.

Your thoughts please.

Thanks for all your support.

Update; I no longer have a loss on it.

Mark

Q: I bought BCE two or three years ago and watched its value peak about 3 times before settling back down now to levels pretty much where I bought it. In the meantime, I've had the benefit of a good dividend.

When I look at the 3 year chart, it is beginning to look encouraging again. so I was thinking that maybe some folks are buying into the telecoms because they like the stability offered in an economic downturn. I was about ready to sell and look for something with a bit more growth. Maybe I should hang on?

Would you recommend anything else with a similar dividend and stability in this economic environment?
