Q: Hi Peter & Ryan

This is just a comment but please feel free to deduct a question credit.

During difficult market times we send you questions so that we dont feel alone when markets are crashing. It's the time we need some "emotional support" and the Q & A provides just that for me.

Thank you kindly to you both for helping me navigate during these turbulent times. I bought GSY and I held even though it dropped after that.My cost was still in the region of about $28. I was tempted to sell when it dropped further but found solace in your answers to the stock. I am glad that its today up over 25%.... I can't thank you guys enough for providing me with the confidence to hang on to my positions and to cease opportunities during crazy market swings.

Once again, thank you and much appreciated.
Sincerely,

Q: I understand that Brookfield Asset Management really thrives in this kind of environment. They are very good at funding companies or buying up shares/debt in distressed markets and they certainly have lots to choose from. An article in today's WSJ said Wall street money guys are getting lots of calls from companies needing cash.

Q: With the price of crude oil so low now, which crude oil stock/s would you recommend on buying at this time taking into consideration debt load, dividends, liquidity, management etc. Thanks

Q: Now that Brookfield has 10.1% of the common stock do you expect any changes at TA going forward?

Thanks

Q: Looks like the markets are liking the financial aid packages approved in the last day or two but do you think that this bounce is warranted? Would you start deploying cash here in both the Canadian and US markets or wait for less volatility? What does your experience tell you? Thanks.

Q: During this downturn in the market I believe 5i said it could be a V recovery. At the rate we are going we should be back to normal very shortly. I read 5i questions and write a lot of answers pertaining to me over the years. Do you see this recovery going at this rate or will there be a noticeable pullback? Thanks Dennis I really rely on your service

Q: Why was it hit so hard today?

Q: Thoughts on holding on to this stock - is it a good long term hold - they are getting users but loosing as revenue.

Q: Good afternoon,
