Q: About Mark's question, on Twitter, @CdnMortgageNews posted this yesterday: "@EQBank says > 1/2 of its 2016 YTD prime single-family securitized mtgs would not qualify for insurance under the new rules. Src: RBC". Could be a reaction to this. Hope that helps.

Q: what is the closest proxy to CPG that you can think of? I want to sell for a superficial loss, however, I don't want to be out of the market for 30 days.

Q: The recent quarter saw eps. at -0.03 cents per share and low mining volume. There is no explanation on this. The stock has gone done from recent highs of 4.25 to 3.25. Is this a good entry point or is it time to exit. Thanks to 5i excellent service.

Q: Hi guys. I really enjoy your service and have done well in my investments since joining. I was wondering if there is anything behind the recent weakness in Loblaw that you are aware of? This right now is the worst performing stock in my portfolio. Is this still good for a 2 year hold? Thanks.

Q: Any thought on Equitable Group's latest results? Share value is down over 5% on news of increased dividend, increased EPS and increased ROI. Is this because of the mortgage market overall in Canada?

Q: Now that people have had time to digest news of the election, what are some names you feel have been unfairly punished and are good buying opportunities?

Q: A general question about the drop in Gold prices. It seems from the crystal ball gazers that if Trump spends like crazy that this will fuel inflation which should be good for gold. Why the disconnect?

Q: Hello,

I have a diversified portfolio across all sectors. I recently sold most of my big losers like CXR and PHM etc. I'm now left with the following three losers: MG, ECN/EFN and AD.

I just don't know what to do with these. I'm down about 25% in each. I regret not selling CXR once it was down 25% and instead took a 75% loss and don't want to be in that position again. Should I sell any of these? MG seems to be the best company of the three, but it hasn't recovered this year like other stocks (at least not from where I bought) and now with Trump in there are a lot of fears about the auto sector, and I'm worried it will keep going downhill as NAFTA discussions begin. Anyways, I'm interested in what you think I should do with these three companies.

Q: These three are all tech, but of course, in different sectors. How would you rate them in terms of risk? Which represents the most upside potential from here? What would be your top pick of the three at the moment?
thanks, Len

Q: I am considering taking a position in either Absolute Software or Chesswood Group as I am looking to increase my exposure to small cap with dividends ( I am particularly light on tech ). I would appreciate your choice between these two, and your reasons. Many thanks.

Q: What do you think of Bad last financial report and the short sellers view of the company on the other hand.
Thank you

Q: Could you please provide your opinion on Amaya's quarterly results?

Thank you, Peter

Q: Could you comment on results ?

Q: I made a fair amount of money on this preferred. Has it become a victim of a rate reset move?

Q: Due to Trump's election and his political/economic agenda, would you recommend taking up a position in an American Equity fund at this time? Or, would it be wiser to "Wait and See" because of the market's current unpredictability/volatility? Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

Based on the U.S. election result and the change in tone in Washington towards a more pro growth and pro inflation scenario, can you recommend some CDN and U.S. cyclical stocks that could do well in this environment? I'm looking to trim defensive and interest rate sensitive stocks and establish positions in more cyclical industries.

Thank you,
Jason
