Q: Hello:
What are your thoughts on Plurilock Security? It seems to be continuing to execute well with some nice additions to their board of directors/advisors as well. They had a nice news release that highlights their continuing growth. Keeping in mind it really is a true microcap at these levels, do you think it could be added to a higher risk part of my portfolio in expectations that they continue to execute well? They also have a fairly high short position against them that at these depressed levels seem interesting. Thanks for any insight

Q: What sector do you think has a better outlook for the near to medium term: Oil and gas or banking? I have a bit of capital to deploy and was leaning towards a decent yielding dividend ETF in one of the 2. (If you don't want to be pigeon holed to either/or I could split it between both sectors or if you have a different sector suggestion that's more compelling I'm open to suggestions...)
Thanks very much
