Q: Good day!

With the recent misstep by McDonald's in allowing nuts in their restaurants and no longer claiming nut free space, do you think this may have a positive impact on A&W which is nut free? Could the impact be significant in store sales? McDonald's seems to be receiving a lot of backlash from this.

Q: Is there some news in DHs strategic review which would account for the lathe drop yesterday and today? Is it worth holding any longer and if you had to sell Dh or Xtc which would you let go first and why?
Thank you.

Q: Just a quick comment and suggestion on Tucows. I've held on to Tucows since last year to see how well their U.S. wireless carrier product Ting would contribute to growth. Something I didn't expect as a growth kicker is that their higher valuation gives them more leverage to consolidate other domain service providers into their core business. TC is up 15% this morning as they're buying a competitor. Might be worth taking a look again to add to a growth portfolio and would be great if you could do a report on them!

Thanks for the excellent service as always.

Q: Thanks for your Shopify reply. As a follow-up, no business relationship is secure forever but I was surprised you mentioned the risk with their Amazon relationship/partnership. Would they not have a contract for an extended period to justify Shopify's investment in time and resources at the expense of other opportunities and who else would be a potential partner that would be in a position to replace Shopify?
Thank you.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I am working on the assumption that issuing more shares is usually not good for the share price. TDG will reduce debt and upgrade equipment...etc. So in this case does it have more positive merits than negative? Please give your thoughts on this "bought deal financing". I am also wondering if the mere fact that there are investors at all is a positive sign in going forward!?
Thank you!

Q: In a reply to Elizabeth about suggested well diversified ETFs in a non-taxable account question, (posted morning of Jan 20th), you mention that HXT avoids a dividend tax liability by increasing its NAV rather than distributing dividends to shareholders. Wouldn't the Dividend Tax Credit look after the issue - or is there something about ETFs that doesn't make dividends eligible for the credit ?

Q: Great BNN show yesterday Peter! With equity markets near all time highs, how do you think one should protect against downside risk for their portfolio (if at all)? Holding gold companies in January/February 2016 proved to be a bit of a hedge against the overall market decline and I continue to do so for this reason (amongst others). Curious to hear your view on inverse ETFs as well.
