Q: Hello Peter,
When Brookfield first indicated that they were going to spin off the asset management unit, the stock popped alot, but then subsided. Now, the spinoff is more certain as opposed to just mentioning it, why is the stock not behaving as it did when the first announcement was made? Please provide your view. Given USA is still delaying its legalization of marijuana, I was deciding on Weed or Hut mining given both are volatile. What would make sense ? Thanks very much

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: 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.
