Q: Good morning. Could you please give me your opinion on The small Frac sand company Claim post Resources (CPS) on the Venture. It Appears to have at least 1 check mark in the positive column, high insider ownership of about 25%. They also appear to have a very high quality product on par with sand from the high demand sand from Wisconsin. 2nd positive? I know they are small and speculative at this point with no earnings but what do you think about their potential?

thanks John

In your estimation what is the downside If: a). recession and/ or b). rising interest rate housing crunch ? On the flipside what is the upside?
Also, how much did they miss the numbers by and was it for a more valid reason other than 'the weather'. Deduct as necessary.
Good job to all, carry on and Thank You. This is not a private question

Q: Good morning,

I didn't have an opportunity to buy RAY.A after the recent feature by Peter on BNN. It seems to be down a touch (why?) and I wanted to know if you still like it? It would appear to be a nice opportunity if your opinion has not changed. Also, do you think a pull back to what appears to be possible support at $8.00 is likely?

Thanks

Q: Given that TOY has been drifting down from the $58 level at beginning of July and is now approaching the $50 level which looked like some resistance in June; do the technicals show any indication of being oversold or are there any buy indicators showing. Is this a good price to be adding at considering that a toy season is coming.

Q: Hi FR is down 10% after earnings. They did reduce their forward forecast. Do you see the price action after Q report justified and does it change your opinion going forward on the stock. I'd like to maintain a holding in a silver producer going into the fall as I think they will be strong but wondering if I should switch out of FR. (I also hold SSRM already). Thanks!

Q: I am trying to straighten out my portfolio. I have been buying over the past 2 years based on solid companies that offer a good dividend and dividend growth for my retirement (with the exception of mining and gold stocks, which I hold for fear of inflation). I am not sure of when I will retire, but some time in the next 5-10 years. I am fine forgoing growth for security. I do not wish to change my holdings when I retire.

Could you please review my holdings? I have listed them by sector (including the lopsided distribution figures), then in descending order of current market value. Do you have suggestion for those I should sell, or others I should buy to have a solid portfolio of buy and forget dividend income stocks for retirement? Suggestions of sector weights would be great as well.

I know I am asking a lot, so please deduct question points as you see fit.
