Q: Argonaut Gold has recently announced that it has rescheduled its fourth quarter and year end results to March 20 after the market closes with a conference call and webcast the next morning at 8:30. When a company reschedules its financial results can this be a concern. In particular do you have any insight as to why Argonaut has announced this change. Also I noticed that they did not have a booth at PDAC this year. Am not sure if this is important or not. By the way I enjoyed and appreciated reading the recent blog on PDAC. Thanks.

Q: Aside from the market cap, which is pretty obvious, could you explain the difference between these two funds. In particular why/how BGI pays almost twice the dividend. I have held BIP for quite a while and done really well with it, but can't help looking at BGI.
Thank-you

Q: Hey guys, thanks in advance! I'm wondering how I should allocate stocks across my TFSA and 2 different RESPs. I've been sticking to the balanced portfolio and I'm wondering if 12 stocks in my TFSA and 4 in each RESP is a good idea, or if the RESP's should be more diversified. Any advice would be great. There are 20 stocks total, all equal weight. Thanks.

Q: Hello saviors,

Can you explain how beta of a security is different from equity risk premium? Aren't they essencially saying the same? Can you give me an example when you are comparing them?

Do you know a website that I can learn more about such topics?

Thank you!

Q: AcuityAds (AT.v) reported excellent quarterly and year-end operating results this week, while showing impressive growth and execution from its acquisition of 140 Proof. Their acquisition of U.S.-based Visible Measures announced on Thursday seems unbelievably cheap and financing it at a 6% discount very reasonable. Liquidity remains an issue though some of the founders are releasing more of their extensive holdings as part of today's financing to increase supply.

Is 5i getting closer to having a look under the hood?

Q: In anticipation of Peter's 2017 prediction that "the markets will take a huge dip sometime in 2017" (financial post article dec 29 2016), can I ask for 5 Canadian and 5 American stocks to look for that are fundamentally good, (not in debt, growing earnings and leaders in there industry), sectors are irrelevant.

thanks

Q: Hi, you had commented a while back on Market Call that you needed to "do more work" on AcuityAds to look at growth potential versus valuation. Since there there has been additional news, including an aquisition today as well as the opening of an office in Europe. Have you had a chance yet to look at the company in more detail, and if so what is your current view? The CEO looks top-notch to me and they seem to be laying out a good path forward to make this a much bigger company.
