Q: With the kerfuffle over QCOM I noticed there is talk about the buyout of NXPI not going through. Further some analysts are bringing NXPI's price target down. One part of me likes the arbitrage between the two. So 2 questions. What does NXPI look like to you on a stand alone basis and what do you think of trading out of NXPI into QCOM over a period of time?

Q: When analyzing Canadian stocks with considerable exposure to the US, how much of the stock appreciation in the last 5 years would be attributable to the declining Canadian dollar, and more importantly, would a rising Canadian dollar have the reverse effect? Would the effect be different for a utility like AQN with large capital investment, as opposed to a services company like TD? Would management participate in hedging strategies to limit any negative effect on stock price?

Q: In response to a question yesterday you indicated that you believe that the ALA dividend is not at risk. I have read that high yield can be a sign of weakness in a stock. Is it your opinion that the current high yield of 6.5% for ALA is sustainable at this level? Do you believe that for stocks in general a high yield is an indicator of weakness in any stock? Thank you.

Q: In response to a previous question you recommended GSY and TCL.A as good candidates as value stocks. I note that both are near their 52 week highs. I was under the impression that a value stock would have a share price that is not doing well. I would appreciate it if you would clarify for me your criteria to identify a value stock. Thank you.

Q: Peter & Co,
Crius Energy had a Q3 loss of $0.14 per share while sporting a 9.15% dividend yield. This doesn't make sense to me. Are my numbers incorrect? Is this level of dividend sustainable? Do you think the solar component of the company will be a major drag on earnings in Trump's USA?
Thanks for your clarification and assessment of the company.
With appreciation for your great service to retail investors.
