Q: Hi, I was looking at buying HD but then started looking at Canadian Tire. According to Yahoo finance valuation looks cheaper and faster growth for Canadian Tire. Other than obvious size differences, would there be any other reason not to buy CTC.A over HD? thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
B&G Foods has been on a downward trajectory for awhile now. I know there is debt but is the situation that bad? The divided is nice but should I let this one go and move on. My portfolio is well diversified but I don't like to trade if I don't need to.
Thanks,

Q: MPL printed an article today from the BMG Group about a gold backed petro Yuan, this is one paragraph from the article.
In November 2017, China, India, Russia, Brazil and South Africa, the major producers and users of gold, agreed to establish their own gold trading system using their own currencies, thereby bypassing the US dollar. Implementation will begin in 2018.
Your opinion please, Thanks

Q: Hello team, I have heard through the grapevine,( employees in mgmt positions) that there may be a big shakeup in the top level. Apparently the ceo of Sprectra, now chairman of enb (Gregory Ebel) is not happy with the status of Enbridge and has indicated that he may take over as CEO of Enbridge and replace Al Monaco. Have you heard any such rumors. Obviously the market is not happy with Enbridge as it has declined more than the other Canadian pipelines. Does the market know something that we don't?
