Q: Hi Guys,

MERUS has filed a shelf registration with U.S. and Canadian regulators to sell up to $250 million of equity securities over the next 25 months. What does this mean and do you see MERUS as a buy, sell, or hold right now.

Thanks

Q: If we see a material reduction in short interest is that an indication that share price may have found a bottom? Just wondering if it is worth paying attention to the short interest in Home Capital.

Q: Full disclosure, I sold all my INP when I learned Saskatchewan was dry and the canola price was rising. All commentators say yeah good buy. I questioned, I maybe wrong as I often am,- but I try to take cover if I am not sure, if there is a light crop INP may have to take it's share of the crop in 2017 as it had to take last year's share this year. The reason the canola price goes up is lack of crop - Input does not get paid till it sells is oil seed.

Q: I'm planning to use your three model portfolios as a guide for my own investments. While your models show percentage holdings for each stock within a portfolio, I haven't noticed a theoretical total dollar amount or relative percentage for each of the three portfolios as a whole.
My question is what percentage of each of the three portfolios would you recommend to someone with a 5-7 year horizon?

Thanks as always for your great website

Q: I wonder if you can comment on the prospects for this company, they have a very innovative product line, which is unique in their field. They are growing and would seem to be a natural fit for JNJ or Medtronic, what are your thoughts?

Q: We are retired seniors. We have five different accounts: two RRIFs, two TFSAs, and a joint regular non-registered account. What would be a recommended number of different company shares to hold in any one of these accounts? And, if the same company shares are owned in two or more accounts, would that count as two, or one, company share(s)?

Q: Good morning. I have taken over the investments of my 91 year old, fairly healthy mother-in-law and have nearly finished rebalancing her portfolio. Dividends are useful but not essential. There is still $13k to invest in her $450k portfolio and I am having trouble in deciding between ATD.B, MDA and ESL for the last position. Assuming her portfolio is now well balanced and understanding her longevity is uncertain, which of these companies (or possibly 2 if the choice is difficult) would you. Thanks for the great service and I value your opinion.

Q: I hope that this still counts as my first question because I found your previous answer ambigious. What I was getting at is with the price difference between Blackrock and the Vanguard ETF's was when they pay dividends am I better off with Blackrock because I will have a bigger payout since I hold more units for the same amount of money.
