Q: When companies are spun out as VMD was from PHM it takes several days for the changes to appear in a trading account (Neither PHM nor VMD appear in my account, just a "placeholder"(?)). In a situation like this can we typically trade our shares even though they do not appear in the account?

Royal Circle has a "more than one hour" wait at the moment.

Q: Hi Peter,
Any idea why Covalon is not trading today based on yahoo and google stock listings? Also, is there a specific reason for Canopy to be surging so high today as I have not seen any new news release to account for such a spike? Thanks and again appreciate the input.

Q: Hello 5i,

I know you have a bullish view of zinc and recommend TV (which I currently own) for exposure to the metal. I'm wondering if you also have a bullish view on copper?
If so, what would be your recommended strategy for exposure to this base metal? Would you recommend owning a company that is exposed to both metals, or two separate companies that focus on each metal?

Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

Q: Would you comment on the risk versus reward if one were to make a small investment in this company ? Do you have an alternate suggestion for a speculative investment in an innovative technology company with momentum or popular timing ?
