Q: Prior to Brexit there was considerable discussion about the need to address Cdn house price overvaluation, likely through mortgage terms. I note that both MKP - MCAP and Timbercreek have worthwhile dividends, provided their pricing remains stable or positive. I note that you like MCAP but the question is what do their future prospects depend on?

Thanks

Q: I have noticed with low trading companies, quite often a bid or ask of one lot hiding behind it a larger numbers of bids and asks. Often enough I put my bid or ask 1 cent lower or higher than the competing bid or ask and that particular one lot bid or ask moves ahead of me. Are these traders trying to hide the larger number from regular investors that don't have access to second level quotes? What would be the purpose of their actions.

Thanks

Q: I am confused about Intertain, which I like. It took a hit a while back because of the controversy surrounding gaming stocks, but earnings are doing quite well, growth is on track, and evaluation seems (to me) low, especially with good growth prospects. I realize that BREXIT calls into question a take-over of parts or all of the company, but I thought if a take-over happened it would be around $20. Why are we sitting at $10? Do you think the metrics merit such a (low) stock price?

Q: Hi guys

Can you look into LND'S latest report and comment it on it?. I bought this around $ .70 and have watched it fo down like the titanic. I liked the fact that they were trading at less than cash on hand and making money, it is baffling me.I was looking for it to rebound or start forming a base before I bought more, in the old days I would have jumped in and averaged down, but now I wait for a reversal, good thing, as it went down 30% today.I do not like the fact that insiders do not own any shares, that I can see, wonder who is unloading.What do you think about this company?
Thank-you and have a nice day.

Q: I have a full 3% position here, its one of my more well timed picks as I entered in Jan at $9.25. I am concerned a little here in regards to its big brother TransAlta Corp. It's apparently got itself up for sale and is certainly struggling. To what extent do the two relate now? If TA fails or is sold on the cheap how will it impact RNW? I like the div. but since I have a good capital gain am wondering if I should lighten up here in favor of a perhaps other safer renewable. Your thoughts, thanks

Q: Good Afternoon,
I hold a BCE preferred share specifically Series AG ticker symbol BCE.pf.G, currently trading around $13.40 with par value of $25. Any idea why this has dropped so much? I understand there was recently an option to convert into a floating rate preferred but I chose to keep my fixed rate preferred. Any thoughts? Is there a reset or something coming up and there is concern a lower coupon is coming? Thank-you

Q: I have a question about Black Diamond. It spiked after the Fort McMurray fire as it was felt this company could help in providing their accommodations to displaced persons from the fire.....and it has pretty much slowly trended downward from that spike up. The fire is now old news. I assume it's business is still in dire straights. What is the latest company report and news on this stock and their future outlook and financial health. Are they going to $0 or do you think we will see some further upside over the next 6-12 months? If so, what price do you think it will be at in 6 months? 12 months? I was considering dollar cost averaging on this stock as I am down big time on it. If it pops up above the current downtrend line above $5.40, I thought it might be a time to average down on this stock. What would you recommend I do? Sell at a loss? Dollar cost average knowing the future is brighter? Or do you recommend another energy play that has a brighter future than BDI?

Q: Hi 5i,
What do you make about Amaya's not allowing media and non shareholders at the meeting on Tuesday. Is this level of secreacy warranted. I am down 15% and don't mind holding on for the turnaround but not sure if this company is as transparent as it should be with its shareholder's and the future prospects of taking the company private.
Do you see this a a warning sign.
I appreciate your thoughts. Antoine
