Q: I have owned this Canadian Small/Midcap in my RRSP since 1995, but in the last few years it was switched to this TML3892. It is way down and I am in the process of replacing my high MER mutual funds with efficient ETF's. What is your opinion of hanging on until it recovers $2 to $3 dollars versus selling it, and what would you recommend instead?

Q: What do you think about the competitors of lightspeed ? Do you believe lightspeed has a better platform and is there a "moat" around their products ?

I see a lot of restaurants particularly the ones in the MTY group (baton rouge) using Maitre'D solutions, which is a direct competitor of lightspeed.

Thanks

Q: I bought Square in October last year after the CFO left. I’m down on the stock but still like it. Because the rest of my portfolio has risen this is now slightly <1% position. I want to add to the position up to 2% but don’t want to throw good money after bad. How do you like square over the next 5 years?

Q: Just a comment to add to the Dream questions. It should be noted that Dream has suspended its monthly distributions effective immediately (last distribution Sept 16), and this should be taken into account when looking at the current price v take-over price, particularly if the closing doesn't happen for a few months.

Q: Good Afternoon,
Unfortunately I'm stuck holding flow capital which previously was LOGIQ and prior to that was Aston Hill. I understand they have sold the asset management component back in the spring to Ninepoint Partners( previously Sprott)?. Looks like Flow Capital is changing direction and I received notice of a dutch auction as they want to buy back some shares. Any future in this company? I'm way down on this from years ago dating back to the Aston Hill days. Is this worth holding on to?
thanks

Q: Hi Folks,
I'm thinking of slowly getting back into the energy sector. I like the mid cap space - companies with good balance sheets, existing production, growth potential. I'm considering ERF, PXT, WCP, KEL and PSK. How would you rank this group. Any others that you would recommend?
Thanks as usual,
Dennis
