Q: Good morning. A few questions to help me with my portfolio and build my growing financial knowledge - appreciate your solid guidance!

While Norbord is showing as a "buy and strong buy" in the recent Thomson Reuters report, it's stock price currently above it's predicted position of $45 in 12 months. I recognize the repair efforts from the hurricane may benefit the stock in the short term. Would be great to hear your considerations on purchasing this stock at this time. And has the potential benefit in the short term already been accumulated in the current price?

With the recent drop in OG (38 to 27 cents), is there a way to tell if any big shareholder pulled out of their investment, or are other forces at play. Anything to be concerned about? I recognize this is a speculative growth stock and is risky.

This last one is more of an educational question. I recently bought LAC as a speculative add given the Asia announcement regarding the ban on gasoline cars in the future. The stock is incredibly volatile during the day. I am curious if this is due to "day traders" just trying to make a buck given it's volatility or some other dynamic is at play?

Q: Hi team, I have a spec position in a junior miner that has done very well while we wait for them to release drill results. In your experience, is it better to sell before the results or wait it out? The first drill result was very promising. I ask this question in the context of investing in the junior market. What has been your experience in investing in junior miners? Any strategies?
Cheers

Q: What are your thoughts on JD.Com as a rival in the market place to Alibaba?

Motley Fool presented an interesting article recently to suggest that JD.Com's potential is/may be greater than Alibaba's given that JD's business model is more akin to Amazon. While BABA deals mainly in secondary merchants, as in EBAY, JD is selling its own products. The article cited impressive growth percentages showing how JD is outstripping Baba and is a force with which to contend.

I own both BABA and AMZN, but was thinking of making the switch out of BABA into JD. Any thoughts on their potential growth, their financials, etc. .... Notwithstanding your "non coverage of US cos" , which is always understood. Thanks.

Q: Hi, this is a Warren Buffet Co. that I have had for over three years,and is at a high. Would you consider it a good time to sell? Or If you know anything about the company,would you hang on for a better return? I have a small profit.
If I sold I would buy something in your income portfolio, so if you think there is a better opportunity would like your opinion. I could buy any sector except financial,which I am fully invested.
Thanks for your thoughts.
