Q: I hold the above stocks in my portfolio. Thinking of adding QSR. Your thoughts. Or should I keep my cash for better opportunities during tax loss period ? BEW and PNG are my play money. Playing PNG with house money.

Q: I wrote to you on Thursday, asking if you could recommend a couple of ETFs holding Chinese companies, one US and one CAD. I have not yet heard back from you. I also wonder if you could recommend one or two CAD REITs. I have none in my portfolio. Something that will continue to do well in a down economy is my preference.
Thank you.

I notice that when I wrote on Thursday, it said I had 65 questions, and now I have 64. But since my question was not answered, or at least, I was not notified that it was answered, this seems a bit odd.

Q: Hi Peter

Sorry to come back on this issue of yestersay's AYX share price drop, but I found the stmnt below on TD's newswire. Could you please comment on the stmnt? If the ceo had sold the rest of his shares he would of gained > $5M. The stock lost > $2B yesterday. I don't understand the transaction. Is this a common situation and if so, I wonder why the stock fell so far.
Many thanks for your insights.

"Alteryx (AYX) slid 15.5%. A regulatory filing showed company president and chief revenue officer Robert Jones sold 1,599 of the data analytics company's common shares at $146.53 apiece after exercising an equal number of recently vested restricted stock units at $27.09 each. Jones pocketed a $190,985 profit from the transactions and continues to directly own 42,150 Alteryx shares."

Q: Hello 5i
It is great that these changes have been made to the Portfolio Analytics. The next important change would be to be able to download my portfolio with the combined positions instead of the separate ones. Adjusting the downloaded spreadsheet to having to add all the similar elements is a chore to get a hard copy of everything. Since I buy and sell with TD and monitor using Morningstar and Yahoo it makes things difficult. (I use Morningstar and Yahoo in addition to your great Portfolio Analytics as each offers a different perspective) and, yes, I do spend hours a day reviewing my portfolio but only taking action at your suggestion, when required but its is good to be hands on as nobody else would care as much as I do because its mine and not a generic assimilation from a broker!
Question: Is combining the positions available to the download in the works?
Thanx
Stanley

Q: "High Arctic Energy Services said Tuesday that Papua New Guinea has validated its LNG Gas Agreement. PNG Petroleum Minister's validation included new "good faith" concessions such as the preparation of a National Content Plan, third party pipeline access, possible state participation in pipeline ownership as well as LNG transport tankers."
Does this change your opinion on the company again? Thanks.

Q: As we approach year-end, I wonder if you have given some thought yet to tax loss selling opportunities. Almost anything in oil and gas and lots in materials would fit the bill. Will you be publishing a list of candidates as you have in previous years and when might you do so?
