Many Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,

I do not believe in technical analysis, however, from a technical analysis perspective, what would be a great entry point in the next three to six months to purchase shares of SPY, QQQ and XIC? What is the likelihood of these great entry points happening in the next three to six months?

Thanks

Q: If one were to sell Magna but still wanted to stay in the industrial sector would you endorse moving into CPR at this time (allowing for giving up some dividend income)? CPR share price has gone pretty parabolic in the last 5 years or so relative to their long term history, do you think the valuation has gotten ahead of itself?

In spite of its smaller size I was interested in ATS but after the unexplained drop last week on higher volume I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don’t mean to editorialize but I can’t count the number of times in recent years when unexplained drops suddenly become clear in the days and weeks that follow. It’s just a personal opinion but I really feel ethics aren’t what they once were, and whether it is an insider, a printer, or someone else “in the know”, it seems information gets leaked and unlike years ago there is now a variety of means (like social media) for that info to spread quickly and widely. End of rant.

Thanks!

Q: I purchased in January, been falling like a stone since....move on or hold?

Q: What is the #1 problem with this company?, poor management? supply chain?. It seems they get all kind of orders, make basic buses, electric buses, what they just cannot deliver the product. If the supply chain improved would it make much of a difference or are there to many other issues?
Thanks Again

Q: Wealth simple mentions that investors are betting U.S. $3.7 billion that TD is heading south. 12 billion in unrealized losses on bonds, big stake in reeling Charles Schwab, massive exposure to teetering Canadian housing market, and terrible timing on purchase of U.S. regional bank. Any thoughts you could share on this?
