Q: On March 9, 2022 Kim Bolton was on BNN Market Call discussing a past pick, Sony, bought on the ADR. He recommended Sony on March 31, 2021. The pick was down 8%. A one year chart shows Sony up 76%. Is the majority of the difference due to the exchange rate? If so, is the exchange rate likely to continue in this direction? If so, it might not be advisable to buy on the ADR at this time? Your opinion please.
Thank you for the great service!

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team

Have held ABBV for over a year now and like everyone else have done very well while enjoying a good dividend along the way.

Listened to Gordon Read this morning on Market call. He mentioned one drug which they have done very well with Humira, will be coming off patent within a year opening the door to generics. Would you agree this is going to hit their cash flow which could result in some disappointing results?

Would you consider ABBV a sell/hold/buy right now? If its a hold, when would you consider moving on? And lastly, Are there any alternative options you would recommend in place of ABBV if in fact moving on might be the recommendation?

Thanks for all you do.

Q: Good morning! CVO is a listing I am following since it manifested it's interest in an IPO. Since the IPO the stock price has not performed well but is stabilizing. It is a fairly solid operation with what seems to be good management and fundamentals. I may wish to invest at some point. And I take it from your answers to recent questions that you do not have a vested interest in this listing yet.

My question is for this listing but also for any IPO out there. What are your trigger points that will initially get you interested in a listing and then that will get you invested in that listing ? Thank you.

Q: Hello
I am trying to get my head wrapped around digital currencies. I think I understand the premise of bitcoin but am confused on the purpose of sovereign nations having their own digital dollar. What is the difference between the two?

Q: I feel a bit lost and don't know what to do. Many of the stocks I own are down, some by a lot. Oh yes, it has been painful. Thinking of the long term, I did very little when the carnage started, and waited for things to settle. Perhaps they have or are getting close and I am getting ready to figure out what to do. But it is difficult to come to grips with some of the large losses, especially in holdings that I previously thought were pretty solid. For example, MG and PBH (and a number of others) . I see there are questions about these 2, so I am not looking necessarily for info about them; but more, do I sell stocks that I thought were, and still think are, good long term holdings, to move to other stocks that are said to have, currently, more potential? I see your comments about not sector jumping. But how do I adjust, if I get past my pain?

Though some are from registered accounts, there are losses in taxable accounts; how much consideration is to be given to that issue?
Many thanks for your excellent service.
