Investment Q&A

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

Q: On Sept. 29, 2012, RJ asked about Lydian and you liked it then. Rick Rule and Brent Cook could not have recommended it more strongly on BNN. Do you still think the same way as you did when responding to RJ in 2012? I bought it and if I trust the two "specialists" I should just hold until
it surpasses my buying price of $2.20 and keeps on going the right way --up!

Q: What do you make of the resignation of Brad Gunn, the CFO of Iona Energy (INA). Do you think it has to do with the late filing of his insider sales, something more ominous with respect to the company's finances, or simply for personal reasons as set out? Does an investor just sit tight for now?

Q: This is somewhat related to Byron's excellent question earlier today on the 2013 budget 'bail-in' provisions for the banks.

The 5 big banks all operate discount brokerages ... e.g., Scotiabank and Scotia iTrade. If Scotiabank fell into the scenario described by Byron, could Scotia iTrade be affected? If so, what would the impact if any be on an iTrade customer's stock holdings? I realize they're not CIDC-insured.

Q: Shoulton, yes I agree. And thats the problem, as long as someone is willing to sell at lower and lower prices the stock will go down. The problem is all these bankers and fund managers are all buddies (well most of them) and they have all kinds of little tricks up their sleeves and do favors for each other all the time (you scratch my back and I will scratch yours) I would be more in favor of shorting if it was not hidden in the bowels of the market. As a buyer of a stock you should have the right to know if the shares you are buying are actually owned by someone or if they are borrowed shares. In no other market place in the world can you buy something that is borrowed from someone else. Look at what happens, these guys short a bunch of stock and then send out their basher squads to pump fear into the markets, and it works for the most part for a time and then the market corrects its self again. But, as long as you are on the right end of it all, you can make a lot of money too.

'In no other market place in the world can you buy something that is borrowed from someone else.' Is this a correct statement ?

Q: Hello,
With regard to funds that are guaranteed through the deposit insurance program...if you have $150,000 in a savings account and take $75,000 out of it and place it into a GIC where the annual earned interest is deposited back into that same savings account....then is the remaining $75,000 in the savings acct and the $75,000 in the GIC both considered as separate deposits and would therefore be insured?
