Q: Hi, Stars Group share price has declined over 25%, in a short period, since added to Balanced Portfolio and is trading at its low. Now that the quarterly results are also out of the way, what would you summarize as the main reasons for this continued softness and overhang. Could you also please list the catalysts in the near term which could help lift the stock price and possible time timeline for these to materialize. Thank You

Q: I have a question about 461
I trimmed about 15% of my shares of NVDA today ahead of earnings mainly because I was up over 300% (thanks to 5i) and felt that expectations were so high that even with an earnings beat , shares may see some weakness. Can I please get your comments on their results and your opinion going forward? To me it looks like a solid beat but is it guidance that is resulting in a bit of a sell off after hours?
Thank you

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan - I'm in my retirement years and interested in learning how to use options and how to read charts. Would you or any of your readers have suggestions for good, safe sites - preferably Canadian - but realize there are likely several great US websites.
Thank you for all your guidance.

Q: What are your thoughts on Absolute Software. I never sold it out of my portfolio and things look better after they reported a few days ago. Do you think someone would be interested in buying them or from your experience is there a chance they may go private. I am reluctant to sell but I worry in a downturn about these small names like Absolute and Sylogist—both taken out of the portfolio but appear to have good momentum.

Q: This question is relating to the tax consequences of accepting the offer by BIP. The ECI shares are held in a non-registered account.
By tendering ECI shares, an investor will receive in exchange cash and units in BIP.UN. The exchange for cash will result in a capital gain which is taxable. Will the exchange of ECI shares for BIP.UN be a deemed disposition of the ECI shares or is it a tax free roll over?

Q: Today Rose Ambrose ,who is involved in the NAFTA talks, indicated that unless Canada compromises Trump will impose the 25% auto tariffs on September 1, 2018.

So how can Canada negotiate/compromise if our negotiators are not invited to participate in the negotiations between the Mexicans and the Americans.

Since very little time is left between now and September 1, 2018 and since Canada is sidelined, is it fair to assume that Trump’s 25% auto tariffs will be implemented?

What is your opinion?
