Q: On BNN the other day a portfolio manager said November is the second best month for Stock Markets and December the best month while September and October are the worst months. Is this so ? November is starting off as if this is correct Dow up 301 points on November 1st 2019 alone. Sell in May and go away has not been the case has it ? Your thoughts . RAK

Q: You have mentioned in the past that MX "has some degree over methanol prices" yet the main reason for the current decline in profits was low pricing. Just how much ability to price products do they really have? Will the new facility, once it is on stream, increase this ability? I still like the company but I am wondering if pricing truly provides any kind of advantage.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi,

I'm looking for 2 lo-volatility US healthcare picks for the next few years, can you choose one of these (CNC, WCG, UNH, AET, CVS, CI, ANTM,HCP) or any others you prefer?

Second question is there an area of healthcare you think I should stay away from for the next (probably volatile) year?

Q: I'm looking at the dividend return on the food royalty companies, which look very attractive. I don't own anything in this area. Is there an ETF that holds a bundle of these companies? If so, is that a good way to get in? Or rather, buy one or more companies. If so, which ones. Thanks!
