Q: Peter; For those members interested in how, where and why the ultra rich, including Ukrainian and Russian oligarchs, hide their ill gotten gains, the book Moneyland by Oliver Bullough is really fascinating. Publish if you wish. Rod

Q: Could you please comment on ABCL and TCX's current Q and more importantly, their forward guidance. Both stocks are part of my speculative basket and if you were me, would you continue to hold these or move on.? If you would move on what would you replace them with.

Many thanks

Scott

Q: It's really hard to sit on my hands during this type of market but I am(so far). My question is about stocks that I have held that are now only 0.5% positions(at, lspd, eglx, well) and I am also down quite a bit on several others. I don't think I own any (weeds) but .5%-1% position sizes won't contribute much on a rebound. Do I consolidate here or revisited in a few months.

Thanks again.

Q: The company's has undertaken an acquisition strategy. Initial quarterly results have just come in. Do you feel this is a viable strategy and where could CIX be in 5 years? That said, at this price point ($14.30 or so a share) and a healthy dividend, could money be made on the stock over the next 2-3 years? Is $30 a share doable? Thank you

Q: Sadly, APPS is down 65% since I purchased it and now is a mere pittance of my TFSA (.65% of my entire portfolio). Should I hang on and hope for better things? Or sell and use the proceeds to top up an existing holding? If the latter, would you top up NVDA or APPL?

I am also down 25% on LIF, which I purchased primarily for its generous dividend. Can you please explain why the dividend fell so steeply last quarter? And looking into that crystal ball you keep on your desk, what would anticipate will happen to both the stock price and the dividend going forward? Thank you.

Q: So all of a sudden all the stocks which have seen nothing but strong momentum for days, weeks, months, are a big buy. Stocks down 30-40% just this month, down 20% this week, are shooting up. I assume this is not everyone getting together and deciding to buy the stocks which have been pummeled, even though they'll probably all drop again tomorrow. It's programmed trading kicking in on some sort of signal we mere mortals don't get. What would that signal be?

Can you comment on how this is beneficial to shareholders of BAM.A?

Q: I have lived through the 2000/2001 tech wreck and the 2008 market correction and this market is just as ugly.What reasons do you have for believing we are near a market bottom. Has capitulation has already happened? Is the VIX telling us anything?Are rising rates not going to overwhelm government debts?An extended recession seems inevitable. IMHO

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I just posted this on the forum. I noticed that the Fixed Income thread in the forum is rarely used, and hope it's OK to post this as a "question" so that more members can benefit from what I recently discovered.

This is a heads up to anyone who uses Scotia iTrade. Up until recently, iTrade included CMR as a commission-free ETF, but it has recently been "de-listed" as free, and now is subject to a $9.99 commission. :(

I used to use CMR to park money received from dividends in our RRIFs, to accumulate "safe" cash for the mandatory RRIF payout. No way can a commission be justified going forward!
