Q: Hi Peter

What biotech stocks do you prefer? Many seem to be breaking out based on point and figure charts. What biotechs would you recommend in terms of individual names and also what ETF do you prefer?

Thanks so much!

Q: I think esports will be a huge growing industry over the coming decades. Do you know of any good public companies that are in this market that you could recommend for a long-term position?
I heard that CGX just bought an esports company, which I think was smart, but it is very small compared to the size of their business.

Thanks!

You may publish your response if you wish. Thanks for your attention.

Q: Stock charts , or TMX money both allow you to compare performance between stocks in a sector / I find it helpful in getting a pulse .before buying .. Union Pacific and CNR both were battered , and I bought CNR at a recent low ... I didn't have enough USD but I would have bought Union Pacific as well... I have never lost on Rails ( touch wood ) . I follow ( CP, CNR, UNP.US, CSX.US ,NSC.US, KSU.US ) ... Making charts is easy, but doing due diligence on six companies is a day's work for me ... I would like to shorten my list / which are your faves ? ... and do you feel this reversal in rails has legs ?

Q: Hi Peter & Team,
The current ongoing acquisition that Concordia is doing is suppose to be 35% accretive to earnings in the first year. I assume that number is being calculated after the new debt and dilution of shares (with the equity raise), cash payouts and senergies are all factured in?
What is CXR's adjusted EPS range, total revenue, total debt, cash position before and after the acquisition?
Do you have an idea historically how much lower an equity raise price for a stock like this would be compared to current price (percentage wise)? I assume this will be done fairly quickly in the next few weeks?

Thank you, Shane

Q: I have a "tax" question for you.

I'm thinking of selling BTE with a $10,000 loss. I don't have any realized capital gains to offset the loss, and don't want to dispose of any of my gainers, but I don't want to carry the loss forward either.
So I'm wondering: Could I crystallize the equivalent in gains by selling BCE shares, for instance, and then buying them back immediately?

I'm aware that the superficial loss rules would come into play by not waiting 30 days, but that shouldn't be a concern with a stock like BCE.
I also realize that there may be a small cost involved with commissions and price spreads, but at the same time my ACB would be reset at the new BCE purchase price and may well save me some cap. gains taxes down the road.

What do you think?
