Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi,

I have a very small spec position in Bitfarms who secure cheap power and lease state of the art computing power to mine bitcoin. They promote their good "mining margin" and "mining profit" (non-IFRS measures) however they still show a net loss (Q2 2020). Could you give a non-accountant like me the readers digest version of where all the money vanishes between the "mining profit " and the net loss. Also, your view on future prospects for BITF would be appreciated. I am up 40% on a small investment - take the money and run or does this thing have the potential to be one of those 2 or 3x home runs? I feel compelled to add that I believe my #1 investing mistake is selling too soon. Perhaps more than 1 question so deduct as required,

Q: Seems to me that we are a turning point in our world today. What with the problems the pandemic faces us with and those connected to climate change I think we are in need of some truly innovative companies that are dedicated to solving these kinds of serious problems. My question is, do you know of any ETFs that are focussed on companies with innovative ideas that will help to solve problems? I guess I'm looking for an "Innovation" ETF . If this is not possible, could you suggest a number of companies dedicated to innovative ways to help solve these kinds of problems.

Q: Hi there, is it time to get on the BUS, and go for a nice long ride? Momentum and volume look great, maybe a large order finally on the horizon for them? Insiders are buying!
Regarding QTRH, a lot of shares are being purchased, for cancellation by the company? Will this reflect well for their 3Q release coming soon, based on their per share numbers? Momentum and volume look good here too!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: The market is clearly indicating the Rogers Altice bid for Cogeco is not going to be successful. That being said, share price is now only marginally above March lows, so is the stock a buy even without the bid. Good results today with a dividend increase.
Bid is more than 55% above current price with the belief that Rogers and Altice could still come to the table with a further sweetening of the bid and as you often say the chance of the bid being successful is above 0%. Seems like limited downside with the remote possibility of huge upside. Would you buy here?

Q: Hello Peter,
I would like your assessment of DXCM after the earnings call. The growth rate has not tapered, the valuation on P/E and P/B looks to be in line with growth companies such as CRWD, VEEV etc. The product has now access to the european market, which probably was not part of the equation earlier quarter. Apart from the impending retirement of a senior executive, what would cause the sharp drop relative to the market?
Would this be a candidate for capital loss sale and buy in Dec or Jan?
Look forward to your thoughts.
Regards
Rajiv
