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: Hi there,

Do you think we are closed to the beginning of a sell off/correct, or the end? Also, do you see this as a good opportunity to start a position in ARKK (~$135)?

Thanks!

Q: Unity software was recommended earlier this year as one of your top US growth stocks. It is now down over 40% from it’s high. I’ve been watching but never bought. Would you still rate this as one of your top US growth stocks. And with the recent pull back what would be your top US growth stocks currently.
I’m a long term member and thank you for getting me into numerous growth stocks since 2014 which I would never have bought and which provided handsome returns. So many thanks for being there for us little guys.

Q: What are your thoughts on buying 1-2% of CGGZ? Would you recommend it be placed in a TFSA for the high growth potential, or in a non-registered account for potential capital loss, or to not buy it all? I am not risk adverse since I still have 10+ years until retirement.

Q: A blogger I have followed for some time always warns his readers about gold and silver option expiration on the Comex as he did for Tuesday's expiration. Far more often than not the metals experience downside pressure, sometimes significant. Can you explain why option expiration invites such downside volatility?

Q: Some time back I was looking at buying either Linamar or Magna. Sadly, I went with Linamar. It has gone up, but no where like Magna. At this point, the outlook for Magna still seems very positive; where does Linamar go from here? I feel like I missed the boat on Magna, or would a switch still be a good idea? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i,
I've been watching TRI for some time. It is currently classed as Industrial sector in the PA database. I'm pretty sure it would be more appropriately classified as Technology or something else?
After Tuesday's price increase would you still initiate a position at this time for a 5+ year investment.
Thanks so much.
