Q: You gave a fairly muted, albeit positive, response to a question on today's purchase announcement. You also said BYD will be issuing $47 million in equity at ~$88 or ~534,000 shares.
As I write this the SP is up about 11% to 99.84. Your comments please.
Q: What are your thoughts on yamana gold notwithstanding your preference for B2, kl, and agnico. I understand yamana has diluted itself as well as put its focus on a single mine, as well as the brio disappointment, not to mention the price of gold which has languished. Yet.. with favourable gold seasonality approaching, and the backdrop of geopolitical issues, if this mid-tier stock were to move downward toward around perhaps $3.30 again could you make a case for purchase of yamana ?
Q: Hi Team, I have selected four market sectors, Auto Electronics, Cyber Security, Manufacturing, and Fintech, that I need some stock help with. Could the 5iR Team make at least one Canadian and one US stock recommendation/top pick for each of these sectors. Thanks Team. Chris
People on social media (myself included) are trying to understand why there is such a high short position for AUPH, best guess is around 12mm. Also, there is confusion regarding the growing institutional holding of around 45% (best guess), are they taking shares from retail. Further, no one seems to fully understand the implications of the options traded (puts and calls). Can you help clarify, is it possible to read anything into these activities?

Thanks as always for your wonderful insights!
Q: Many analysts on BNN are recommending owning US banks vs Canadian, as dividend growth looks better for the US banks.. Would the benefit of owning a US bank be worth sacrificing the dividend tax break Canadians currently get,and the currency conversion to US dollars. Thank you
