Q: Hello team, Just to clarify....Kerri asked today (24 Nov) about your 5 picks in US market and you mentioned OSIS. You have, in the past, mentioned ISIS and was wondering if you meant ISIS instead of OSIS.
Thank you,

Q: Every time there is a quarterly reporting, there are a flurry of questions seeking your opinion of them.

While there may be annoying aspects to this, I do find it useful.

Whenever I read a companies PR release on earnings, everything seems fantastic to me (until I look at market reaction and see negativity where I thought all was roses)

Could you give a short (3-5?) list of the most important figures to look for in order of importance in your opinion so that I can do a realistic down and dirty evaluation on my own immediately?

Q: BCE has been one of my better holdings over 10 years. Today they announce a bought deal and the stock is already below the deal. My last experience with Mr. Market when this happened was with FM and I got killed. I thought I was being smart when I bought FM at 15 dollars because the market had a bought deal north of this around 16.50 I believe. Should I be concerned?

Q: Hello, Further to my previous question on adding to to my positions in AYA, ATD.B, CCL.B, MDA and DSG, should I buy them now or wait until the end of December after tax loss selling? Do you think they will be victims of tax loss selling?

Also, if I have enough to add another two names would WSP and OTC (from growth portfolio) be a good decision at this time with the 5 I'm adding above?
