Thanks very much. David

Q: Because of the recent stock split, I have both class A and class C shares of Under Armour. Is there any reason to think that one class of shares will outperform the other? Or, put another way, Which class of shares should I sell first? Or is there any value in selling a equal portion of both and remain holding both classes of shares ?

Q: Hi,

I need to prune my financials and I am down to looking at DIV and AD. In looking at DIV, the question I ask is, "Would they have sold Franworks if they weren't confident that they had something in line to redeploy the cash into?" With AD, it is "When will they be able to get some resolution with troubled partners?"

In any otherwise balanced portfolio, which of the two companies would you choose to keep at this time?

Regards,

Robert

Q: EIF is in uncharted territory. It's in favour but it seems inevitable some fund manager is going to take profit after such a run?

Q: Do you know anything about a company cannabix technologies symbol bto on the cse. Dave

Q: Within a balanced portfolio, what would be a substitute, replacement for SYZ?

Q: Hi, this stock was recently added to Balanced Portfolio has dropped sharply from its recent highs.

New Flyer today closed at $37.83, which is off by about 15% from its recent high of $44.87, reached just after quarterly results. When Marco Polo decided to sell about half of its stake @ $40.40, the secondary issue was oversubscribed 3/4 times. In one of your recent comments also, this weakness was again attributed to one large seller.

It has been widely believed that lately NJ issue has been responsible for the depressed stock price. Today's weak backlog numbers and sequential decline in ECU deliveries besides lower after market sales have caused market to press the panick button resulting in another sharp drop.

My concern is that stock may not recover in near term and is even at the risk of losing more value. Should I bail and find better use of my capital? Thanks

Q: Hi, Here is another stock in which I built up a full position over past 6-8 weeks. Based on your many comments, I believe that you like the company but last time decided to add Spin Master instead of Sleep Country, due to higher growth prospects.

The company also appears to be a favorite among many guests appearing at BNN and has been often compared to Dollarama, with respect to its future growth potential and expansion plans.

The stock quickly rose to a high of $33, but has been on a constant decline over past few weeks, losing over 12% of its value, closing at $29.01, today. Recent weakness has been attributed to soft results from Temper-Pedic and also a M&A few weeks ago which was completed at a much lower multiple than what Sleep Country had been trading.

When an expensive stock like ZZZ continues to trade lower, what could be the next event or catalyst, which could help stock reverse this trend and regain market confidence? Or, it's time to sell before stock loses more value and redeploy capital in more consistent names in your portfolio? Thanks

Q: Absolute is dropping like a rock since you recommended it.
What are we missing?and is the dividend at all safe?

Q: Please comment on SPP, Spot Coffee, and provide your thoughts on a 2-3 year hold. Thank you.

Q: On Oct. 17 Bill asked about his half-position in PIH: Invest more or get out? Your reply was to "stick with it", but do you mean stick with what you have, or yes, buy more?

Q: Any comment about NFI's update on their backlog? It seems like the market didn't like this as the stock is currently down over 5%. Anything to be concerned about here?

Q: Hi Guys,

Please comment on today's results. Still a "buy"?

thanks,

Jim

Q: I had held alaris for quite a while - great dividend payer, but very bumpy ride on the stock price. I recently sold it all to use the loss to cover another gain, and had planned on buying it back after 30 days. It has continued to drop, however, and now as I near the 30 days I am having second thoughts. Would you consider buying it back now that it is so low, wait for the next quarterly report before buying, or just move on? I would be holding it mainly for income.
Thank-you
