Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team,
As you mentioned Sprott made a bid for Central Fund of Canada yesterday and CEF.A stock went up 3.1% by the close. I understand this is a hostile bid. Do you think there will be a competing bid or any more upside to CEF.A? Coincidentally, I was planning to sell my CEF.A holdings next week and replace them with PHYS. Do you see any reason to hold off on that? Thank you, Michael

Q: Hi, could you please give your thoughts on the latest DRT financials and whether you thing long term stable growth is back on track? I also read an article recently that Dirtt is going to work with Designer Ian MacGregor to built a high-end luxury house near Canmore Alberta as a template for a "luxury weekend house", but not sure how material that will be to the company.

Q: Hello again. I'm happy with my portfolio which is largely U.S. stock driven. My question is how much cash would you recommend I keep on the sidelines during this volatile period. I'm not worried as much as I would like to have cash to purchase more of the same stocks I have on hand should there be a small correction in the market? Thx

Q: Hi
I am a pensioner and I am looking for solid stocks with dividends. I currently own some AD at a loss. I was thinking of selling it and buying AFN instead. Is AFN as risky as AD?

Q: Good Morning I was listening to the Linamar conference call and the results are very impressive, in fact, the dividend was increased by 20%. The share price dropped over 2% this morning which is surprising. May I have your impressions?
Would MG (PE 7.4) or XCO (PE 10) be more advantageous vs LNR (PE 7.5)?
Thank you
Marty
