Q: Just read that New York City Transit has awarded NFI with a contract for 15 low floor sixty-foot battery-electric, zero-emission, heavy-duty transit buses. Is this a substantial order?

NFI always makes this type of announcements and that seldom move the share price, but this one seem to have a positive effect on it today. Especially the announcement was made after closing, interesting. Your take? Thanks.

Q: Gambling is now legal in 8 US states and the trend is for additional states to legalize gambling. According to John Affleck, a sport journalism professor at Penn State, during March Madness, 47 million adults in the US will wager $8.5 billion, including 4.7 million adults for the first time. Much of this betting will be on mobile apps. Is Stars Group a player in this market and if so, how big a player?
How well are they positioned for future growth in the US market?
Also, does Stars have a robust mobile app or is the majority of it's businesses conducted on desk top computers?

Q: Never fall in love with a stock, i feel i5 has on this one. Say treating it like cash for buying an idea later, why not buy a solid income stock with a good dividend and treat it as a cash account as you say, at least you are getting something. Speaking of cash rich companies, how about buying Apple and hold it for cash, and also a dividend, no shortage of cash there.

Q: Hi ,
This is a follow up question to the March 25th one asking which companies pay dividends in US dollars. As the US dollar dividends are (usually) automatically converted to Cdn dollars when paid into a Cdn held account, would there be an advantage to buy and hold the equities paying dividends in US dollars in a US account? Or do the currency risks outweigh any potential benefits?
Thanks, as always, for all your insight and suggestions!

Q: Can you refer me to any sites (including subscription) that are good for trading options? What I had in mind was a service that provides some form of probability analysis on the likelihood that an option contract will expire worthless or in the money? Thanks in advance.
