Q: There is a yahoo article on WELL:
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/well-health-technologies-tse-well-121138131.html?guccounter=1

Could you comment on it?

I have less then 1% position on Well (up 10% but only with lots of perseverance) but i am considering going to 2.5% given it is a small cap. I know you don't comment on size but given recent stock movement would it be your comfort zone to add at this price?

Q: I have 1.5% positions in LLY and UFPT. Looking to combine into 1 position. Which would you select right now? Have larger positions in ISRG and VHI as well.
Thanks

Q: Is it time to add to infosys and/or magna? What about adding to ntr.

Q: I have seen comparisons drawn between DFH, as an 'early stage' version of NVR. With its recent branching out, to now include title insurance and mortgage broker services... would you see a big runway for growth for this company in the long term?

Q: Thank you for promptly answering my question on Silver Corp Metals. I have a follow up question. When a company does a "private placement" for convertible debt my understanding is that a bank/brokerage house will offer this placement to clients who have accounts with them. I guess that means that DYI investors who do their investing with a discount broker, in my case RBC, do not have access to these types of placements. Is that correct? Will that placement eventually end up on an exchange and be open to trading on that exchange? If the answer is yes then how long does it generally take for a private placement to end about on an exchange so it can trade? If the answer is no, then how does the investor who bought the private placement eventually liquidate their holding? I am just trying to get an understanding of how this works. Thanks for your help.

Q: Which of these two would you invest in today and why, for a growth investor who can tolerate risk.

Thanks

Q: At the time of the transaction announcement, I had assumed the original ACB from Karora would follow, and the transaction would not be a taxable event. My concern was how would the $0.608/share be treated. I enquired, and received this passed along from their tax dept, "This was a return of capital spin-off followed by a mixed consideration third-party acquisition.It was effectively a fair market value disposition because the consideration was a mix of cash and shares.  To be tax deferred in Canada it has to be shares only." 
In other words, the entire transaction would be taxable this year. (The ACB on the WGX shares reflects that.)

Is this your understanding?  If so, any idea why they would structure the deal this way?  Doing so would seem decidedly non shareholder friendly. 
Thank you for your comments. Tim

Q: Hi, Wondered if you had an opinion on this smaller energy exploration company.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
This is a question about the meaning of volumes. For example if a stock goes up or down on high volume what can we deduce from that. And the contrary...if a stock goes up or down on low volume what can we deduce from that. I know one day is just one day but I am just trying to get a read on momentum...if you know what I mean! Thanks your thoughts are always helpful.

Q: hi folks:

can you please have a quick review on this micra cap?

thank you in advance

Q: Which would be better purpose high interest or coil thanks

Q: The current price of GSY is tempting. Your market data shows a median target of $227 which is 33% over current. Earnings are expected to grow 20% next year ($20.28-16.91) which gives a forward P/E of 10 and that compares nicely to the 5 year low P/E of 7. Historically the stock has performed well, the 5 year CAGR for the stock price is 30% which doesn't include the dividend. While the numbers look tempting, the market is giving a big yawn and I wonder what I am missing that others aren't. Perhaps you could try to explain the yawn. Feel free to correct any of the numbers if Bloomberg is reporting something different.

Q: Do you think with the big rise in the TSX in the last couple of days that it is getting a bit frothy, and perhaps it would be a good time to trim and retain some cash for a pullback? Do you expect a pullback between now and the end of the year?

Q: Who are the major clients of Firan

Q: Shall the BRICS reorganisation against the US dollar and/ or the wars (Ukraine, Middle East) affect the North American stock markets ?

Q: This fund is part of an employer-sponsored account. It has been steadily decreasing since early October given (I assume) the bond market’s attempts to price in new uncertainties over the past few weeks. I thought this bond component would reduce volatility but perhaps not (?). I have 5-7 years to go until the money is needed. If it’s going to lose value or underperform I would prefer to sell it now and put my faith elsewhere. It is 10% of my total portfolio. My question: What would YOU do in this situation?
