Q: I had been waiting for awhile for xbc to correct before taking a position. Got tired of waiting and watching it continually climb. Took a small position at $10.60ish and of course now I am seeing the correction I was waiting for. I added a bit more at $9.03 but now it’s down almost another $1.00.
Is there any news accounting for this?
Is your longer term thesis still positive?
Would now be a good time to add a bit more or is there more downside to come?
My overall position is still quite small relative to my whole portfolio and its in my TFSA and I don’t need the money.

Q: I have been fortunate to have made 300 per cent with Go Easy, is it time to trim and buy into Air Canada or WYNN with the potential rebound or simply run with GSY? Thanks
PS I’d have never known about GSY if it weren’t for your stellar recommendation and advice.

Q: Good Morning Peter & team

XBC down almost 30% in the past month and just under 10% on the day today Feb 23. To be fair it is a down day for the markets in general - nothing goes straight up. However, the recent trend is alarming.

Anything you have seen which would account for recent losses? And I imagine your view of XBC hasn't changed?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Doing a little research for additions to my TFSA. Looking at GSY, WELL and XBC. I find it curious that GSY has a market cap for approx. $1.9 billion and trades at $125 per share, while the other two have market caps of approx. $1.4 billion and trade at sub $10. Is this a lesson in the difference between a Company growing organically vs growing through acquisitions and issuing large amounts of stock. I'm not saying that the other 2 aren't good companies, but I find it curious that they have similar market caps, yet their share price is ten times higher. Thoughts?

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Real Matters has experienced weakness in the last few months (as most of your readers know).

But in the past week, there was a gap down and I think it has more to do with their competitive position in the market related to the pending merger between CoStar and Corelogic (which I would think is Real Matters competition). What do you think about this? Do you know if this will have a material change in their ability to gain market share in the Appraisals business?

Q: This is a question about transferring GSY from my growth portfolio to my balanced portfolio. Both portfolio's are balanced and diversified. (I also have an income portfolio.) GSY is now more than 10% weight in my growth portfolio. And the balanced portfolio is 3 times plus the size of my growth portfolio. Transferring GSY from growth to balanced would mean not having to trim GSY....and my inclination to do this transfer stems from the recent move of SHOP from growth to balance, as I think GSY is now "mature". What say you about this transfer idea?.........Tom
