Q: Seems like a turnaround at Wildbrain with the earnings out last night. Still a lot of debt but reducing. Lots of streaming on Netflix, Apple TV. Conference in October in New York. Stock is up this morning. I know they were for sale a few years ago with no buyers, but it appears to be a little different story right now. Disney poached the VP of animation? Do you see the possibility of a sale on the horizon from netflix, apple, disney or some other streaming company?

Q: I am trying to grow a small position in GDI and have two options. As I add funds over the coming months I can just average in, or I could sell my position in QIPT and get a larger position right away.

I know the stocks aren't comparable, but what would your thoughts be on this move? I think QIPT has decent growth prospects but one thing this move would do is take remove some risk (from small-cap to GDI market cap over 1 billion. Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Owning stocks is by nature an intangible asset. In the event, of lets say, a black swan event such as a cyber threat world wide and all our intangible assets are basically in digital form (as opposed to physical and tangible) what, if anything can an individual owning stocks do, if anything, to make that asset more tangible? I assume the stocks in all your model portfolios have been suggested because of they have been deemed higher rated companies, those more likely to survive any temporary stock market crash. But can we make owning them more tangible or are we fully at the mercy of the Internet?

Q: Hi,
I initiated small positions in EGLX and MRS a while back. Down 32% and 53% respectively so the small position is even smaller. Should I just be patient with these two? Or move the MRS portion to EGLX? Or vice versa? Or even getting out of them altogether and putting the funds in another name?
They are in my TFSA so no tax implications.
Thanks
