Q: Would you be a buyer of either name after their good results today? Have a small position in SPOT already but none currently in RACE. I did have RACE before but sold back in Dec. Would you consider these good long term growth stocks and which would you choose if you had to pick one for long term growth or would you have positions in both? Thanks!

The Bank stocks are performing well while GSY and PRL are not,

Q: We often hear about the trade deficits the U.S. has with Canada, but is it reasonable to frame the issue purely in terms of population size? How is it possible that Canada, with a population of about 40;million, buys roughly as many U.S. goods as the United States with about 345&;million people buys from Canada? The Chart Attack V.13 chapter on trade between countries was enlightening. Thank you

Q: Canadian Telecoms:

What am I missing here. Three main players in the Canadian market with a government enforced moat. Highest prices in the world.

Services provided: Phone, Cell, Internet - fundamental requirements to participating in today’s society.

Common costs to providers as in the rest of the world, ie towers, cable, switching systems, processing centres.

Why are these Canadian Telecoms not shovelling money? Are they incompetent? Have they become largely bureaucratic and inefficient?

I cannot understand how this business is not thriving. What say you?

Q: Hi team,
Once again my portflio is tanking while the index just cruises along . I have names such as shop, Csu, Lmn, Toi , gsy, Rddt , png and other growth names all down between 4-10%. Canadian names as a group especially weak today . What’s your take on today’s market action? As of today are there any screaming buys out there ? I was thinking of adding on Shops earning drop or Csu .

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Hi 5i. My question is prompted by Thomson Reuters' long, seemingly inexorable, decline, but it is more of a general question. I have a sense that companies that have either a controlling or at least a major interest held by a family tend to be less likely to pull out of a dive than do companies that are broadly held. Do you have any thoughts on this?
