Q: Can you please help me understand why Blackline is valued at 2.5 times QST when QST seems to have way better metrics ( profit, gross margin)? While QST's revenue is not growing as fast, one can argue that QST only chooses to sell prodcutt aht it can sell/rent where there is a profit etc. QST's management is probably a least as good as BLN. Do you think there is a discount because the CEO of QST is a woman? Maybe it is just investor relations, lack of private placement of QST shares? Or fear of regulations or lack thereof hurting QST. Anyone who follows the climate change debate would see methane reduction as one of the the big news story of the past year.

Q: when I put these three on a chart together (Thompson-Reuters feed on webbroker), for a specified period, hxs shows a much greater return than zsp which shows a much greater return than xsp. Five year chart 93%, 77%, and 45% respectively. This charting service does not show total return so some of the difference between hxs and zsp will be the dividend (included in hxs but not zsp). Some of the difference can be explained by hedging of the currency on xsp but not on hxs or zsp. Given the difference in five year returns there must be something else. Suggestions?

Q: A gem of an answer to Brad's excellent question on Gold on September 25th.
Your usual suspects made the list with FNV/AEM pairing!
What would be your favourite pair in the small/mid cap Gold sector. (Low or no debt, Good growth potential, stand to benefit from the price increase in Gold, good momentum etc.,
Up to 10% means 10,000 per 100,000 dollars, 20 k per 200 k and such, no? Will need a small Gold portfolio with mixture of Large/mid and small caps, or just stick to large players like FNV,AEM,KL,NGT?

Q: WEF is down right now with a good dividend. There's a strike going on with the company, the forest sector in BC is down plus the trade situation with the US and China is still not good.

Q: Holy volume batman. Only down 3.5% on Thursday which seems pretty good considering volume is up 4500% on the day.
This stock recently broke below its long term channel on my plots and I was hoping for a bounce up, not down.
What do you read from the volume on Thursday and what are you thoughts on stock price a year out?
