Q: Hello,
Can I please have your thoughts on Velan (VLN). If a buy or hold, what kind of return should an investor expect given the risk involved. Time horizon of 5 years +. Thank you for the great service.

Q: I'm interested in hearing your opinion on selling covered calls as an "extra money" strategy... I'm looking at the financial sector, but maybe stocks like BCE, MDA, JNJ, AVO, ATD.B, HCL, BEP.UN, GIB.A, MG, STN, TRP
I realize that stocks can be taken away, thereby creating the need to repurchase good companies at higher prices, but if they aren't taken away, it's "free money" for the option proceeds.
Comments???

Q: My Canadian Energy Services Technology Group (CEU) shares have increased by 8.5X since their purchase in 2007 excluding dividends. The company now constitutes 11.6% of my cash portfolio. In the recent Webinar you were suggesting not selling good companies just because of value increases but I notice at the same time that the 5I model portfolio has rebalanced. Following the rebalancing theme, my thinking is to reduce my shares of CEU and increase my shares in POT (currently 4% of my portfolio) and Goldcorp (currently 2.2% of my portfolio). All three companies have decent dividends. Does this make sense to you or should I continue to let CEU run. Thank you

Q: re. Sphere 3D Corp. (ANY-V)

I hold a small, entry level position in this security. What do think of their software tech ... is it a major step forward or simply a modest/incremental change to what currently exists? Who is their competition?

Thanks for your insights.

Q: Hi

WIN seems to be doing the right things.
Today signed another license agreement.
Could this stock be worth quite a bit more than the market is currently pricing it at?
Thanks
