Q: Any idea why the price of this stock dropped 8% today ?
Q: The first reaction, for so many of us not well versed in a difficult market, is to panic. And then, this morning, I read this suggestion in one of your replies.
"But if you are not withdrawing capital from your portfolio, this is just another week in the markets."
Those words, more than anything I've read anywhere else, made the most sense to me, and put everything in perspective. Thank you!

Q: Could you please discuss the purpose of holding gold or gold stock(s) in a total portfolio? Is it best in a registered or unregistered account? And what would be your recommended weighting for a total portfolio? Thanks!
Q: Just to add I do not recall the HORIZONS BETAPRO S&P/TSX 60 INVERSE ETF (TSE:HIX) being mentioned for us Canucks on the TSX.
It is an ETF.
It is an inverse meaning it rises when the S&P/TSX 60 falls and coversely it falls when the S&P/TSX 60 rises. Similar to the U.S's VXX.

Q: The stock is 19.40. Even if it seems 'on sale' considering recency history (last year), when oil was last at this level, the stock went as low as 8.50. Was it purely a crisis of confidence? Or, did vacancy rates increase quite a bit? Even though the yield of 6.5% looks good, the 30% exposition to Alberta is bound to show increasing vacancy rates over the the next 2 years. The chart also doesn't show much support from here. What do you think? Waiting for a few weeks shouldn't hurt right?
Q: The plummeting share price has become a worry. What do you see going forward?
Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi, thanks for your recent response. Although, it wasn't quite what I was looking for. Perhaps I should have been more clear. I understand my APPL weight is a little high, but I was really looking for a view of selling COO to buy DIS. Where do you see more upside potential in the next year or 2? Thanks
Q: I would appreciate your opinion, may thanks for your great service!

Q: Hi Peter and team,
I'm looking at gaining specific exposure to four new "industries" with promise, Driverless car technology, Drone technology, vape industry and the marijuana business (Canada). Although all are in their early stages, I would like to acquire quality positions for the long term. I realize there is significant risk at the early stage and would be interested in owning the best part of each industry, i.e. technology, rights, patents etc. I'm very interested in how you would approach this question.

Q: What do you think about the management changes announced today? Is it a sign of accounting manipulation of any sort?
Thanks

Q: Could I have your opinion of FSV please. I notice it has been downgraded a day or so ago by a broker but the particular brokerage may have their own agenda I would like your independent opinion. Thank you for your on-going service. Don.
Q: In your answer to John, yesterday, on how to play the bear market (if it is one) you stated: "One other option is to own VXX, an ETN (different than an ETF) that is based against the VIX Volatility Index. "
What is an ETN, and how is it different from an ETF? How would this benefit the current situation? Thanks!
