Q: Hi Peter,

Kudos to you and Ryan and team for the great upgrades to the website.
It looks like tax-loss selling this year could present some interesting opportunities, especially in certain resource sectors like precious metals and natural gas that have been beaten down. I have been compiling my own buy list but would be interested in seeing what yours looks like.
Please provide three names in each of the following sectors that you would look at during the next few weeks of TLS: [1] precious metals, [2] energy, [3] general canadian small to mid cap.
Also can you comment on the period of tax-loss selling and how consistent this is year to year?)

Q: Hi,
What is your opinion of NYX's press release today outlining a new commercial agreement with Scientific Games which essentially stymies what William Hill is trying to protect with it's conversion to common shares (US sports betting software control).

The one loophole still remaining for William Hill to defend it's US turf at this point seems to be clause ii) - (ii) by either Scientific Games or NYX if the arrangement agreement dated September 20, 2017 in respect of the Acquisition (the "Arrangement Agreement") is terminated in connection with NYX entering into a superior proposal or the board of NYX making a change in recommendation and in either case the superior proposal is consummated.

What is your outlook given this new information? Does it now seem more likely that the pressure is mounting for William Hill to either make a higher bid or accept the offer?

Q: Hello good 5i people,
I haven't owned any energy stocks for years. But I would like to add some. Could you recommend 3-4 top picks in the sector for long term growth?

Thx,

Q: I have held Surge Energy for a good while and I am currently down about 45% on it. It is about 2.5% of my portfolio. My only other energy holding is SDX which currently is about 3% of my portfolio. I am thinking about selling Surge and going into SDX as it has more momentum even though it has higher risk. Surge released their earnings to not much hooplah. I like the dividend with Surge and the oil price has been increasing as it seasonly does during this time of year usually. Will Surge get any momentum with this oil price or should I take advantage of a company that is going to get $12/Mscf in Morocco and over $3/Mscf in Egypt?

Regards,

Brendan

P.s. I now took my winnings from Ithaca and follow your Balanced Portfolio plus a few other stocks. Thanks for the website and I love the additions.
