Q: Can you please comment on the last quarterly results and stock reaction for FN?
Are they still worth holding for the long term for income and growth?
Q: HiPeter & CO.
I'm down 25% on this Fairfax Financial Holding Ltd.Cum PFD Series C Pref rate 4.578%. Is there a chance that the share price will recover in the next year or two, or should I sell and move on.
Thanks Ken
Q: What are your thoughts on gopro? Does it seem good for growth or a possible take over?
Is there any other tech or energy stocks (since many oil companies are down right now) that would make a good takeover target? Buying companies seem to pay decent premiums when it comes to takeovers and id like to take advantage of it.
Q: Thank you for providing a great service. Your recent comments on the Canadian Preferred Share Market and iShares CPD are greatly appreciated.
Please comment on
1) Please comment on iShares US Pfd Stock ETF (PFF) which trades in US$.
2) Is there any merit in holding a portion of a fixed income portfolio. PFF is about 5% of my total portfolio. Considering the recent upswing I have done well with PFF and have enjoyed the distributions within a registered RRSP. Should I consider holding it?
Q: A link providing some positive outlook for Concordia. I too have big loses. I kept averaging down, last time at 35 and was wondering if it's still a good idea to double down at this levels.
Anyway here is the link:

Q: I own 3 banks - TD, BNS and RY. TD represents about 50% of the group. Over the past month or so, TD hasn't performed as well as the others. Is there something about TD that is dragging it back?
SP was up yesterday supposedly due to the Q2 results, and today it did a 180 and took a big dive wiping out yesterday's gains and then some. I used to own gold and mining stocks and have seen this play many times in the past. I thought DH is main stream enough and big enough to not being played that way. If that is not the doing of some manipulators, what could be the possible reason for yesterday's pump and today's dump?
Q: I'm thinking about taking a position in physical gold before the US election thru either MNT or PHY.U. could you compare and tell me the differences between these 2 vehicles. Which is better? I'm thinking about taking a 10% position and increasing cash to 40% leading up to the election. Thoughts on this strategy?
Q: I bought a half position (for me that is 1.5% for this stock) in Alaris just before the report. It dropped. But I am not giving up. Should I purchase the other half now after such a large movement down.
Q: Can you explain more about CSU conference call and Q2 results? For a previous question on CSU you told that Revenue Estimate at $510 million and EBITDA @ 131 million (I am assuming these are CAD though wrongly printed as USD). However you later said EPS missed estimates by 50c. I felt this is a big miss. You also said stock may be week. However today CSU went up. Can you explain. I came out of my CSU position today and want to know if I have to re enter. If not can you suggest a better stock than CSU in tech sector?
Q: Peter; Gold is up roughly $10-11. this am and the XGD is down, along with gold stocks of course. Does this indicate anything to you from your trading days m I.e. is the " market" saying the stocks are overdone or? Thanks, Rod
