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

Q: I've been looking at Methanex in view of the dramatic price drop. Further big drop today despite better earnings announcement and reasonably optimistic outlook. On the other hand 40% of earnings related to O&G industry. Would you consider this worthy of a buy or more like a falling knife? Thanks for your opinion.

Q: Hi:
I've held TRP since 2008 through the ups and downs of XL excitement. I am now having doubts that even if it gets approved, that it will do much for the price of the stock. I am seriously considering selling so as to buy MDA. I don't need the dividend and I am otherwise in good shape thanks to your ever splendid advice. You are the best.
