Q: I bought a smallish position in MU after Peter had it as a top pick on BNN last year. It has done well thank you. I always considered it as a trade rather than a long term hold. Your BNN comments today confirmed this. I am aware of your views on market timing. What conditions or at what point would it be best to trigger a sale or partial sale? I hold it in an RRSP so here are no tax consequences. Thanks very much, Frank

Q: Any specific reason why Birchcliff is down over 12% today, substantially more than its peers? Would note that Scotiabank provided a fairly positive report today on the company’s current status and 5-year operational plan. Thanks.

Q: I have held BYD for years and for most of that time its share price has moved up on a consistent basis. However now almost every day its share price goes down. Are you aware of any reason for this downturn? Would selling be wise? There are lots of good alternatives to Boyd.
