Q: On February 9 you were asked a question to screen for mid size co. that yielded more than 3% and had good opportunity for growth in the next several years. WFC was included in that list. I have searched on TD Waterhouse for details on recent financials without success. Can you go over the companies financials over the past 5 years and where you see growth? Thank you for all you do.

Q: BITCOIN as an asset .
With the US approval of bitcoin ETFs the volatility of bitcoin will likely decreases. It was approved as a high risk/speculative asset. However the business media seems to discarded the warning and reports bitcoin related news like any established asset or company without any warning disclaimer and contributing to the hype of bitcoin.

What kind of warning would you give a small do your own investors in Canada who wander about investing in bitcoin? Thankyou.

Q: I have held PBH in my cash account for sometime and am up a paltry 6%. I'm considering selling and replacing with either LLY, HD or TRI. Looking for greater growth and willing to take on moderate risk. 3-5 year hold. I know these companies are apples and oranges, but I would appreciate your views on risk and reward for PBH, LLY, HD and TRI and which you would recommend I hold going forward. Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Can you give me the names of 3 companies each that fulfill these criteria. I tried to "curate" the list by myself by going through 6 months worth of questions on Energy sector but really couldn't compile a decent selection as the questions exhibited significant variance.

Question # 1.

Mid cap oils (not gas)

Good to great free cash flow

FCF well directed to share buy backs, debt reduction and dividend enhancement.

Solid management
(I know this is subjective but I know that you know the players well!)

Showing good momentum and growth prospects.
You can include a small cap if you think it i soon going to be a mid cap.

Question # 2.

Same criteria but in Large cap oils.

Many thanks.

Q: Can you offer your thoughts on Roku results and its future potential? Increasingly, it looks vulnerable to larger more powerful players and its competitive position and ability to price for value to customers appear to be eroding. Any comments are welcome. It is noteworthy that after an 80% drop it is up 100% this year. It is yet dramatically lower than its peak.
