Q: Seems there is a trend or investment opportunity to buy shares in small Canadian companies that are then acquired by US companies. What comes to mind are JPMorgan acquiring Solium Capital and Goldman Sachs putting in an offer for all of People. What other such small Canadian companies are liking to "suffer" this acquisition fate?.....Tom

Q: Good evening, as 2020 comes to an end it has been an eventful year for stocks. Can you recommend 10 beaten down canadian stocks that are value companies that got the short end of the stick this year? Canadian stocks that have all the criteria you look for ( strong balance sheet, good management, low debt etc ) and will recover as Covid runs it course over the next 6 month or so. I am a more risk tolerant investor with over 25 years before retirement.

Q: Over the last 10-20 years, I have found that I have done the best buying and holding several smallish, but established companies that seem to have good long term growth prospects. Have made very large gains by holding stocks like CSU, BYD, PBH, WSP and GSY for 5, 10 or more years. I am trying to identify which smallish but established companies might be the best candidates to produce some very significant gains over the next 10+ years. Would you please rank the following in order according to which you think are the most likely to generate some very significant gains over that time frame. I hold the majority of these, but not in large positions, and there are a few I do not currently hold. Also, if you have another 2 or 3 companies that you think would fit this strategy, could you indicate which ones and where they would rank in the list. I'm not worried about sector, as my portfolio is well diversified, and I am tolerant of risk. Take how ever many credits you feel this question is worth. Thank you.

Q: Good Morning
I’m in the process of some year end house cleaning with the idea to reduce the number of holdings and adding some more upside potential. Considering selling partial positions in GUD and ATA and with the proceeds topping up two of either TRI,ECN TFII or AD. Would you firstly endorse the sells and which two would top up at this time.
Thank you for your continued guidance and support.
