Q: Greetings: Would the NJ gaming commission's review have included any investigation into the insider trading issue: the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement found Amaya’s PokerStars brand to be under "strong, ethical and trusted ownership and management" ... Do the words trusted and ethical ownership and management only apply to past business practices, apart from any illegal stock trading allegations? Thank you.

Q: Good Morning Team. Great news about Amaya. I have done very very well in the past (thanks to your guidance) with shaving my AYA holdings (first bought at $6.50) and able to buy another good stock and pay off some bills. I only hold 2.5% at the moment. I have some cash in my TFSA for an opportunity. Could this be it? Or would you suggest slower is better in this case with AYA? Thanks again for all you guys do for us including calming our nerves!!!

Q: Hi Peter and Team:
Liquor stores (TSX) is making a a year low, whihc was also repeated in 2008-2009. The yield is 10% as is covered by the cash flow, but only 50% with the earnings. Liquour comsumption is normally seen as secure as people tend to buy liquor in bad times and a lot in good times .
What do you think ??. If I buy it will be a very small part of my portfolio, with the purpose of increasing my average yield and not getting into a risky investment (I already have enough Artis, Superior Plus, REITS and Banks for normal yield with reasonably low risk)

regards
Alex

Q: The selling and lack of buying on this stock seems to be relentless. They have just now closed their convertible debenture. I am wondering if there is some kind of arbitrage going on between the stock and the debenture?

Q: In response to Gerald's question about Amaya and New Jersey approval, David's reply during the Q4'14 earnings call on April 1, 2015 was:

"As it relates to New Jersey, I would say that we feel that this is coming. We would expect to receive and launch, I would say, in the next quarter."

David followed up on this in the Q1'15 earnings call on May 14, 2015 with:

"I think we’re still on track from what I said on the last call in terms of New Jersey."

Those statements (in my opinion) in no way guarantee a launch in Q3. Investors seem to have unfortunately taken it as fact though.

Q: If you could only buy one of BOS and XTC which would you choose?
Read Answer Asked by Carla on September 28, 2015
Q: Your response to Carla, "With some new uncertainty around the auto sector and trade agreements, XTC looks a bit better right now after its $6 drop for no real reason other than the market. "
I believe you meant to say BOS looks better because it is the stock that dropped $6.
