Q: Hello,

I have a question about PHO. Is there any reason for the recent "slump" in this stock recently? The stock is on a downward trend for the last month and market does not seem to like the announcement of its recent sale of the optical flow product line. Also could you tell me the next earnings date (where would I find this easily)?

Thanks for you excellent service!

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
i. Apologies, but i need a clarification. Are Shopify's existing shares Class A? I was thinking of existing shares which have done well, but was wondering if I should wait before I add and what would be a good price to add?
ii. How long should one wait before pulling the plug on GUD? I only invested due to management, but the time frame seems a bit much for any upside here?
iii. Do you still like Covolan and is it good time to add?
iv. Please suggest which is better option: HMMJ , MJJ (the actively managed ETF) or CGOC (not in your list but if you know much about it please, Cannibis growth opportunity )
Thanks again and appreciate your input.

Q: Would you consider the SHOP has passed the best time of the business life cycle? Canada and U.S. Chicken Farm business, NAFTA and so on..... Just my thoughts about recent news about shop, looking back long enough, Canadian companies are just like chicken, and U.S banks and brokers are farmers. The farmers feed chicken then kill them later they want. BB, Nortel, VRX, CXR... It's another time two U.S firms joined NB feed the SHOP, last year they short SHOP, looked like they failed, now turn around to feed shop.. bet on later days/years, U.S hedge fund or brokers will "kill" the iconic Canadian company in E-com sector.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team - I know this question is a little outside of the regular type of question/answer component of your services and that you are not in the business of predicting macro economic events. However am just wondering if you have any thoughts on how interest rates may play out over the next couple of years both in Canada and the U.S. With the tax reform package now passed in Congress is it quite possible that this could lead to fairly major inflationary pressures in the U.S. and therefore substantial interest rate increases. If so then what might be the effect on Canada's interest rates and resulting stock market movements. Thanks.

Q: Hello Team,
I've been patient and I was looking for a chance to grab Uni Select shares at a good price. I am happy to have waited so far since the price of the share dropped more than 13% following today's earnings,
What is your advice (grab some share, let the dust settle...) following today's drop in price.

Thank you for the good advice!
Michel

Q: I manage my own RRSP portfolio which is in the 7 figures. It is made up primarily of micro and small cap stocks. I spend on average about an hour a day doing research and placing purchase and sale orders. Does this time spent seem typical for anyone who wants to do a proper job managing their own money and hoping to do better than ETFs or mutual funds?
