Q: Just a comment to Edward re: CDN/US citizenship - the US treats a TFSA as just another account, and all income is taxable by the IRS, even though exempt by the CRA. Not sure there is any reason for a US citizen to hold a TFSA. If there is any advantage to a TFSA under these circumstances, I would appreciate hearing it.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, in regards to Badger, BAD, is there any way to find out how much of their revenue was related to the Alberta and Toronto floods in 2Q and 3Q? From what I have been told and understand, and please correct me if I am wrong, their units were going non stop during these floods (draining buildings, basements, city/town clean ups, etc etc) and must have assisted greatly in their quarterly revenues. If this is the case then how will their revenues be impacted in the next two or three Q's to follow?

Thanks for picking BAD, I believe it has served a lot of members very well, along with your other picks as well. Thanks!

Q: I was disturbed by Bruce's question re US citizens owning 'foreign' stocks. My wife and I are both dual Candian/US citizens and we live in Canada. We own 100% Canadian dividend stocks in a joint portfolio, two TFSAs and a RIF. We will not buy US stocks as the IRS takes 20% of the dividend right off the top while the Canadian tax man gives us a break on dividends. Do you know of any problems we might face, other than paying our accountant about $1700 a year to fill out our ridiculously complicated income tax returns?

Q: Peter, I currently hold aya, avo, syz, sum and rfc in a small cap portfolio that is doing very well. I realize the risk in that group but am ok with it for now. I am considering switching RFC for Lonestar as the valuation is getting up there. Your thoughts please or is there another high growth company you prefer such as DHX? Thanks for this great service.

Q: Good morning, I hold a small position in Easyhome (EH) and I am thinking of adding to the position. However the price has been selling off for 3 weeks and is now below $13.50, well below the recent financing of $14.85. I am wondering if there is a problem that I am not aware of. Can I get your thoughts?
Thanks, Tim.

Q: Your excellent service is much appreciated.
I do not understand the hammering that Easyhome (EH) is suffering this morning. Their earnings look good to me and the financing at $14.85 doesn't appear to be out of line. The drop to $13.23 is puzzling.
Should I try to catch the falling knife and average down?
Ed

Q: Hi Peter, Just wondering about the #'s from EQI, if you could comment; as well as the response they had to Smoothwater.
Finally, what was with the conference call...11 minutes long! It's like they were paying by the second.

Thanks as always...
