Q: Your thoughts on FFH acting as a portfolio diversifier and hedge against deflation? Seems they have a large derivative bet that potentially pays big if deflation hits.

Thanks,

Q: Hi Team,

Do you have a preference for GLD vs. Central Fund of Canada (CEF.A)? Does the fact the former trades in $US and the latter in $CDN affect your preference?

Thank you, Michael

Q: I sold half my XTC a few weeks ago based on comparing their PE and chart with MG and LNR. Both MG and LNR had much lower PE's and their charts were bad, so I thought XTC might fall in sympathy until their PE is more in-line with the others. Can you critique this thinking please. Also, would you buy some XTC back now or wait till the PE gets closer to MG and LNR?

Q: Good morning,

I would like to take advantage of the high level of pessimism in the equity market to initiate some positions in Cdn companies in the consumer sector that stand to benefit the most from the weak economy. My thinking as the fallout from low oil prices,greater use of disruptive technology (re higher unemployment)and high level of consumer debt (approx. 1.65 x income) many more consumers will be more price sensitve and looking for the best value. I know one company you like is Dollarama. Can you provide 5-6 more names that stand to benefit from this potential shift in consumer behaviour and you believe now would be a good time to initiate positions in.

Thanks

Q: Hey team, I'm wondering if you can rewind to your previous career in portfolio management and tell us what names, both small and large, you would be looking at currently. Also, I just sold baytex for a loss and I'm looking to invest in something that has some torque and is not dependent on one variable (oil prices ). Thanks a million.

Q: I note that trading in this stock is halted pending news, and that there is a headline in the restricted area of the Globe suggesting that there is an offer from the current owners to take it private. Do you have any further information on this proposal?

Q: At some point resources will recover and I am ready to slowly dip a toe into some of the more beaten up companies. I am wondering about BHP as it is a huge diversified miner, though it is not without its problems (e.g tailings pond collapse still to be dealt with). Does this seem like a good choice for a place to await a metals recovery? If the dividend gets cut, do you think it will be by more than 50%?

Thanks for your ongoing advice.
