Q: Hello
what is your opinion on CNC? do you think that there is room for growth US health care stocks and would you recommend any other? Also, MSFT is down today. Do you think there is more room for it to go down with the upside to value stocks or do you see this as a good time to buy?
thanks for all your help

Q: I’ve owned Blackline for a few months, and it had done well going from high 60’s to low 90’s and then fell off a click down to low 70’s. I can’t seem to find much news. Was it earnings related, outlook change in leadership? Do you think it is a good stock to hold, correction is overdone?

Q: Good day!

I have in the past bought an interlisted Canadian stock on a major US exchange within my TFSA. I've done this when I've seen an opportunity but don't have enough cash in my CAD account. I don't want to exchange USD to CAD as I'm trying to grow my USD account.

I've been looking into Quarterhill, but notice that it trades on the OTCQX in the U.S. The only immediately noticeable difference is that the volumes are much lower. I understand that as far as OTC exchanges go, OCTQX has higher standards.

Are there any other risks I should be aware of? Appreciate your insights, as always.

Marc.

Q: Hi 5i
Macy’s is approaching earnings release Aug 12 with a corresponding rapid increase in share price over past several days. What would you attribute this to and do you think it is significant?

I realize most analysts rate this stock as sell, and as current owner of this stock I am trying to decide if this is my “selling opportunity “ or should continue to hold. That is to say is there a faint hope for this stock to recover somewhat from this price point and if so over what time frame?

Thx

Q: I just listened to a Podcast from Business Casual about online education. This discussion resonated with me in looking into the future and changes that Covid has forced to our brick and mortar Universities to adjust to. What are other companies & ETF's in this space. My understanding is that it is a $700B/yr business and companies together have in excess of $100B market cap.
