Q: Hi Peter

Sorry to come back on this issue of yestersay's AYX share price drop, but I found the stmnt below on TD's newswire. Could you please comment on the stmnt? If the ceo had sold the rest of his shares he would of gained > $5M. The stock lost > $2B yesterday. I don't understand the transaction. Is this a common situation and if so, I wonder why the stock fell so far.
Many thanks for your insights.

"Alteryx (AYX) slid 15.5%. A regulatory filing showed company president and chief revenue officer Robert Jones sold 1,599 of the data analytics company's common shares at $146.53 apiece after exercising an equal number of recently vested restricted stock units at $27.09 each. Jones pocketed a $190,985 profit from the transactions and continues to directly own 42,150 Alteryx shares."

Q: As we don't have a good Canadian choice for stocks related to pets, what do you think of these US companies (or any others in this sector) ?
Which ones do you see as having a potential for strong growth in a near future ? Where would you invest in the sector ?
Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.
With many, many thanks,

Q: I have a small US account and am looking to add a couple of companies to it. I realize that you do not provide extensive coverage of US stocks but would it be possible to recommend a few small to mid cap growth companies with a one to three year time horizon. Sector and volatility are not factors. Thanks.

Q: I see the value of that stock always going down. I would have thought that they would benefit from a lower yield like the REITs, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Could you give me your opinion on this stock and what could happen to it if the Fed continue to lower the yield? Should I continue to hold expecting an improvement or accept a big loss and sell it now?

Thanks

Q: Hello, could I have your thoughts on the recent PAYS revenue guidance (didn't seem bad) and stock drop under $10 now.

Also just a thank you as I do read lots of negative comments on the board and people tend to cherry pick one big loss (TSGI, COV for recent ones). Anyways I wanted to add that you have liked/loved some awesome stocks that haven't gotten attention because they aren't Canadian or in your portfolio. Examples - AYX and TEAM, massive gains since these stocks were first in your Q&A and you had positive comments on questions.

Q: I am looking to invest in what could be broadly described as some 'green' companies. These could be involved in power generation, carbon recapture or post consumer recycling to name a few options.
Would you be able to direct me to any funds, etf's or specific firms that may meet (or partially meet) these requirements?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Q: since guardant announced their earnings one month ago, increased their guidance, earnings were excellent, stock hit a 110, since then it has cratered big time from 110 to 80 in one month on no news, i exited at 96 with a small profit. it was too painful to watch.
my question is there has to be some reason, maybe their drug trials are not working as well as people think, something, a short report, etc nothing craters like this on no news.i can always buy it back but this is insanity. dave
