Q: CSU has outperformed TOI over this past year. The trading of shares (CSU to TOI) has proven unprofitable. Given where they are, does this represent the relative bargain between the two? Would you trade CSU for the other today?

Q: With the Canadian trading so low, do I assume correctly that this would not be a good time to buy US stocks? Does the same assumption apply to hedged investments such as ETFs and CDRs? Thank you.

Q: Thank you for great service.

I am not a gold bug but tend to hold some for downturns in the market/economy. I am up about 20% over 2 years in two mid-cap positions and down up to 60% in three juniors. Appreciating economic growth (or expected growth) is not the only factor impacting gold prices, why are we not seeing gold run in this environment? What factors will influence positive momentum in the coming 1-2 years?

Q: I understand from reading the latest report, your confidence in the company has come down considerably. How would you rate your confidence in management to turn things around on the revenue side and do you still consider the stock a good long term hold at these level? I had a full position but the stock has been down a lot in the last 2 years. I see many A ratings in your grade system but an overall B rating concerns me a bit. I am wondering if now is the time to move on to better opportunities? Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Hi, you mention short interest from time to time. Using MTTR as an example, you say that short interest is very high at 15%. I assume this is a negative as there are a lot of shorts (or shares short) that want to drive the price down. However, some view this as a positive as any good news can force all the shorts to cover. There are also different views on days to cover. MTTR shows 6 days. Some view higher numbers, such as 10, as positive as it means there could be a sustained rally if the shorts have to spread out their buying over a longer period rather than a quick spike.

What short interest levels and number of days to cover do you view as being positive or negative influences on a stock price?
Thanks
