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

Q: Ross Healey on Market Call this morning was asked a question about WSP . He didn't just dislike it he said " it belongs in the trash bin " and went on to make a case that it was WAY over valued . He was scathing in his criticism ...... I own it and sitting on a 278% profit and because of that rise it has risen to an 8.4% position ..... Which is a tad over my comfort level but not unduly for a blue chip company . But I've got to admit he scared me a bit .... Could you comment on his thesis ? Thanks Garth ....

Q: The following was in the Globe today and I quote: "Canaccord Genuity’s Doug Taylor lowered his Well Health Technologies Corp. to $10 from $12 with a “buy” rating, while PI Financial’s Kris Thompson cut his target to $9 from $10.50 with a “buy” rating. The AVERAGE is $10.12."

And yet is sits at $5.10. After a good, solid quarter. I just shake my head and wonder what I am missing?

If it wasn't for 5i I would have all my money in a sock hidden under the mattress.

Q: Oh BOYD! I see you re-rated BYD down a notch and have replied to other questions that you are still believers but that the next year could be rough. With the pandemic forcing a shift to more remote work will that reduce the BYD customer base and their long term upside. More companies are set up for remote work and likely will allow some form of remote work moving forward. So fewer commutes, fewer commuters, less traffic/road rage = fewer accidents? Long term do you still see BYD in the portfolio or could cash be better deployed somewhere else for the long term.

Q: I own OTEX and not DSG or KXS. I follow a blend of the income and balanced portfolio but bought OTEX instead of KXS as I don't like to buy companies that don't have a dividend. Thus why I don't currently own DSG or KXS. My question is should I sell my OTEX and replace it with DSG or KXS. I've owned OTEX for a few years so up about 25% ( excluding the div) even with the current pullback. I can see the change in the growth portfolio but don't see a strong reason to sell it to buy DSG or KXS in a balanced/income view unless you feel strongly otherwise.

Q: I don't know anything about technical analysis. However, looking at the chart of XBC over the past week there appear to be clear levels of support and resistance at 1.80, 1.95 and then at 2.25, Presumably this relates to investors either taking profits or exiting at a reduced loss following the recent uptick. My question: does this chart tell us anything about future levels of support or what we might expect moving forward? Thank-you for your insight.

Q: GSY: I've been thinking about buying this stock; however, concerned about the BOC aggressive stated policy to increase interest rates quite quickly. This and the recent report from RBC on housing service index that is high and getting higher - higher % income required to service mortgage debt. Concerned about a recession; especially, if I own this stock which probably would get killed, I would think? Comments please.
