Q: Hey Guys,

What exactly causes a Bubble? I have read and heard so many different things, so I was wondering what your thoughts were.

Q: Could I have your comments on Athabasca Oil's press release late yesterday with their Operational Update and 2020 budget. What is the life of their reserves? I am correct in interpreting from the release that for every US$5 increase in WTI above US$45 WTI (considering a $17.50 WCS differential) the company stands to benefit CDN$70 million? At $0.53 this morning is this company worth taking a risk. Thanks

Q: You answered a question on the disposition price for BYD.UN conversion to BYD saying that the company has announced the conversion price and that the last trading price for BYD,UN was $202. I own some BYD.un in a TD Direct account and TD indicates that the price on disposition is $215.77 and that is the ACB on new BYD shares. I cannot find a reference to disposition/conversion price on any releases or on the BYD website.. Would you have a reference for the correct price?
