Q: so the vp and head of rbc investing finally returned my call. he said there were 474 expressions of interest for freshii, rbc investing received a very small number of shares for freshii and as he explained only the first 10 expressions of interest got some fill, i was 47.53,64,65,abd 74. my next question was why they did not close the freshii ipo right away, he said they discussed this forever in meetings, and decided to leave it open, my reply is giving false hope is disgusting, he agreed and indicated they will not do it anymore.
i agree with peter paying more than 13.50 is probably a dumb move, personally i am a big health nut so my emotion better not get the better of me.
on another note i often trade long dated options 1 and 2 years out, example facebook trading at 130. 2 years out the 130 are at 20 bucks, a number easier to deal with, the fees from rbc are astronomical on each trade. i spoke to the vp about this and he agreed but they have no facility to offset something like this for large traders.
for my stock trades i pay 6.95, i know there are far less expensive sites but with 15 accounts and my banking at rbc the hassle to change is huge.he offered me a small consolation which i accepted. dave

Q: AcuityAds (AT.V) release today re their "ultraintuitive marketing platform" sounds very leading edge, if not unique in the industry.

Just hype or is there really something to it for marketers?

Q: I bought AcuityAds not too long ago for about $1.30. It has had a nice run up recently to around $3.40. What is driving the increase? Should I buy more? Or should I take a half position off the table and then repurchase more if it comes back down?

Q: I know you took this company out of your growth portfolio, but since the US election this stock is been going up. I went onto there web site and listened to the Bloomberg and Bnn interviews and i love what they are doing, they seem to be light years ahead of conventional construction, and this has to be the future. With 80 % of there business in the USA and expanding around the world, would this not qualify as a good growth company for a long term hold. Do you ever put companies back in the growth portfolio after removing them?
Thanks once again.

Q: Had a very satisfactory 2016 with a combined increase in both cash & RIF accounts of 9.3%. However, TFSA has been a disaster. Initially in 2009 bought CPH & stupidly watched it run up & then way down before I dumped it for a large loss. Bought AD (second time) at around 23 - watched it climb to 31 & then crash. Sold it at $18+. I know - it's now climbing back nicely but I want to start a-fresh. Don't need the income - just lots of growth. Looking at SHOP & other similar opportunistic potentials. Your suggestions please. Thank you
