Q: I am looking for a fourth reit for my real estate portfolio, but have a strong interest in L. Could L be considered a real estate investment?

Q: Regarding the answer to my question with respect to Nortel and the tech decline received Saturday @ 3:49 a.m., my family held stock in Nortel and I am very appreciative with respect to the detailed and quality of the answer to my question. Myself and probably many others had concerns with the Nasdaq doing what it has been doing lately and your perfectly explained answer made me feel a lot more comfortable. I guess you were working late due to the timing of the answer. Thanks again,

Q: How do you like BIGC at these levels and its future prospects. Would you buy?

Q: Hello 5i
I want to re arrange my TFSA and seek your advice, I own a lot of Topicus in my TFSA and have been considering selling it to buy something else, for two reasons. First, it is close to CSU and I have a lot of that, too. so, I would like to delute that concentration. Also, I want a US company with high premiums that I can sell options on. My preference would be Nvidia. But, because Topicus has gone down so much, lately, I would like to get someting good that has gone down as much as it. Therefore I was looking mostly at Square. APPs might give me a faster ride. < in both directions, thought!> but Square might be more reliable for a retired person. Appreciate any suggestions and, as always, respect and value your judgement

Why is ENGH hated so much ? It's in a downtrend for more than 18 months now and I thought that they would find a near term bottom here with the last quarterly earnings report.

Let's recap, investors hate high growth high valuation stocks. Investors also dislike slow growth and decent PE. Where do you see fit ENGH ? I thought we would see the end of the death spiral with this earnings report. Nope, so I guess we are now just a few believers like me and the founder of course holding the bag.
