Q: So Druckenmiller and Soros are putting more bets on oil. I'm not an oil expert, but I do understand the operational leverage that can be created. I also understand there are specific Canadian specific variables to profitability with the pipelines and oil sands etc. If I were to bet with these two, could you give me a list of Canadian oil Companies to bet on? Could you also comment on any possible reason they see oil as attractive?

Much Thanks,

Wayne

Q: UFS seems to be setting new highs and is now up The stock is up 34% over 1 year and has been setting new highs. The positive momentum continues. Should I be thinking of selling my biggest looser (MAXR) and buying UFS?
I thought MAXR’s latest quarter wasn’t bad however the market thought otherwise and now the shorts are circling even though as you noted MAXR is not a great short. I am a buy and hold investor and I am trying to figure if I am in love with MAXR. How can you tell if you are in love with a stock?
Is it correct to assume if I sell MAXR and buy UFS I will be derisking the portfolio or am I deluding myself? Is UFS an industrial or materials stock?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi, Stars Group share price has declined over 25%, in a short period, since added to Balanced Portfolio and is trading at its low. Now that the quarterly results are also out of the way, what would you summarize as the main reasons for this continued softness and overhang. Could you also please list the catalysts in the near term which could help lift the stock price and possible time timeline for these to materialize. Thank You

Q: I have a question about 461
I trimmed about 15% of my shares of NVDA today ahead of earnings mainly because I was up over 300% (thanks to 5i) and felt that expectations were so high that even with an earnings beat , shares may see some weakness. Can I please get your comments on their results and your opinion going forward? To me it looks like a solid beat but is it guidance that is resulting in a bit of a sell off after hours?
Thank you

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan - I'm in my retirement years and interested in learning how to use options and how to read charts. Would you or any of your readers have suggestions for good, safe sites - preferably Canadian - but realize there are likely several great US websites.
Thank you for all your guidance.

Q: What are your thoughts on Absolute Software. I never sold it out of my portfolio and things look better after they reported a few days ago. Do you think someone would be interested in buying them or from your experience is there a chance they may go private. I am reluctant to sell but I worry in a downturn about these small names like Absolute and Sylogist—both taken out of the portfolio but appear to have good momentum.
