Q: I don't usually like market timing and don't really believe in this "sell in may..." stuff, but this year is a little different. What are your thoughts if the Trump administration is unable to come up with a concrete tax reform plan by may/june? Would they have time given congress goes into break shortly after? I would expect there would be volatility ahead, but have you experienced similar events like this in the past where there's been bets on policy changes that don't materialize?
Q: We have two RESP's one with ages 9 and 13 and the other for an 11 year old. Both RESP's are currently 50% cash. The largest single holding in both is ZLB. Please suggest 5 good company growth stocks with positive momentum and good valuations in your opinion. Thank you.
Q: WHEN A COMPANY SAYS IT IS EXPLORING ALTERNATIVES AND HIRES AN INVESTMENT
BANKER TO EXPLORE THOSE ALTERNATIVES; HOW OFTEN WILL A SALE HAPPEN IN YOUR OPINION? I REALIZE THE BOARD WILL ONLY SELL IF THEY GET A GOOD PRICE BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTS AND DO YOU THINK CDI-N IS WORTH HOLDING FOR A POSSIBLE SALE? I DO NOT OWN THIS COMPANY YET BUT WOULD CONSIDER PURCHASING IT. THANKS
Im looking to replace PD in my TFSA. I thought I was smarter than the market when I purchased it at an average price above $10. I did little homework on the name and now I'm paying the price. I typically have a tremendous amount of patience with investments. What would you do if you owned this stock? I know there are better opportunities out there, but I feel like if oil moves to the upside this name has a lot of potential.
Q: April 11/17 ? asked by Terry re large block
trading:
'Dark pools' are private networks which do not have to report trades to the consolidated volume till after completion. In the US, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Citibank and others have them and apparently account for as much as 40% of the volume. What is the situation re 'dark pools' in Canada? Also, what is the situation with TSE trades reported as 'anonymous' broker?
Q: I currently hold ITP which is a consumer staple non durable stock in a non registered account
Is this a hold, add,or sell?
If not a hold or sell,would you recommend some better companies in the sector that pay a dividend and have more potential?
Thanks
Peter

Q: HiYa, I have done very well on CHW since starting to buy in November, and actually going overweight. I have recently liquidated to an underweight position. I would love to buy this stock back on the guess that it goes to 15 or 16 bucks?
Q: Hello, If the short position is still as it was a few weeks ago, do you think managers will close their position? Another ex dividend is approaching and earnings release about a month away. I'd like to buy this on the way up.
