Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Peter you were great on BNN this week!
I am a little perplexed about the gold sector. Yesterday gold was up $17.50 yet most of the gold stocks retreated. I think this is irregular...why do you think this happened? In particular KGI was down with the rest ...and yet HMY was one of the exceptions to be up!
Respectfully...

Q: Good afternoon:
You answered a question about MELI two years ago and stated that you viewed it as "quite risky". Would your view be the same at the current time and current price?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

With the recent market turmoil and economic conditions expected for the next little while can you name 3-5 companies that you think would be absolute BUYs? Whether they are solid companies that have been brought down with the general market, or ones that can actually benefit from the current conditions.

Thanks,

Jordan

Q: You last commented on these prefs in Apr. Since then they have declined a lot further and now appear attractive for at least yield. Are you still comfortable with the credit rating of the company in today's environment?
Thanks

Q: My current position is approx. 65% UK, 19% Canada, 8% US, 5% Australia and 3% Europe (excl UK) where roughly 95% is invested in individual companies and 5% in ETFS.
In a previous reply to one of my questions (year or two ago) you referred to capital flows.
In the environment we're in today where do you think capital flows momentum is or will be - the (perceived)safety of the US or elsewhere?

Q: Some say the extremely high debt governments are carrying will take whole world down.. And China's extremely unmanageable ( undisclosed and previously hidden) debt will bring widespread collapse to the western world as well as their own economy
Do you agree, and specifically why/why not? How-- on what basis would you assess now whether we are going into a severe bear market? Should a 'wise' investor "cut n run"?
