Q: I'm trying to get a handle on VMD's valuation; the equity has fallen sharply in the face of what appear to be outstanding results and expressions of continuing responsiveness by management with respect to their prospects. Yet the market seems to be pricing the company as a one trick (Covid 19) exploitive pony. Or perhaps not? And is the overhang from prior days and the accompanying critique still valid? Thank you for your consideration.

Q: Hello
what is your opinion on CNC? do you think that there is room for growth US health care stocks and would you recommend any other? Also, MSFT is down today. Do you think there is more room for it to go down with the upside to value stocks or do you see this as a good time to buy?
thanks for all your help

Q: I’ve owned Blackline for a few months, and it had done well going from high 60’s to low 90’s and then fell off a click down to low 70’s. I can’t seem to find much news. Was it earnings related, outlook change in leadership? Do you think it is a good stock to hold, correction is overdone?

Q: if we go with a thesis of recovery from Covid19 effects and benefits to beaten-down companies that deliver an 'experience' such as airlines and restaurants, would Transat be at a good entry point?
My ideas and questions:
1. Could Transat survive on it's own without a buyout or merger?
2. I can't see the government having any appetite to nationalize airlines so they either have to bail them out or let them merge. Either way Transat should benefit as long as it stays in business!
3. how much is Transat insulated from any rise in oil/fuel prices from an economic recovery? What is their hedge strategy?
4. did Transat delay the merger, did Air Canada? or did the government?

Thanks

Q: Hi Team,

I've used Norbett's Gambit a couple of times to buy regular American Companies like Visa or Starbucks.

Now I'm interested in a fund with a '.u' designation. Is it better to convert to USD funds and then buy, or just buy it through Questrade in Canadian dollars?

Just for readers' information, Questrade now prefers an e-mail rather than a chat or phone call to journal the funds.

Thanks as always.

Kevin
