Q: Is Broadcom (AVGO) considered to be a Singaporean company or an American company? If the company domiciles in the US, it would be considered as US Situs property. As such it may have implications for Canadians on US estate taxes. If it is considered to be a Singaporean company, then there is no issue with respect to US Estate Taxes. I was unable to get an answer from the Investor Relations of Broadcom. Thanks.

Q: I am curious. As I write this TD is trading at 25.08 USD with an overbought RSI of 74.45 in NY and 65.45 with a much lower but nice RSI of 56 in the TSX. This equates to an exchange of 79.5 cents and the dirrerence in RSI is significant. I was always under the impression that these things track. I would appreciate your take on this.
Thanks
Don

Q: Hello Peter and All,

I look after my daughter’s TFSA and Investment Acct. She is 7% under weight in Tech with holdings of: (OTEX 2.3%), (PUR 1.4%) plus ( QQQ and other ETFs provide 4.3% Tech ), total portfolio, 8% Tech. Money will not be required for about ten years.

To bring her up to 15 % total would you suggest buying KXS plus add to OTEX and PUR, or would you use a different combination such as CLS instead of PUR.
Many thanks.

Q: PLEASE MAKE YOUR OWN CALL ON WHETHER YOU LIKE TO ANSWER MY QUESTION PRIVATLEY OR PUBLICLY.

---------------------

I'm very frustrated with my investment in EIF. I took a loss early after the shorts took the chance to destroy the EIF share price on its Q1 results. I re-acquire EIF later due to the positive signs from management on its Q2 results. Well, the market manipulators (Prescience Point and Cohones and others) once again gang up to give EIF another dunking today.

Why investors would take the words of market leeches (who spread lies for a living) over those of management is beyond comprehension. This is how the market works, unfortunately.

You know you can actually ruin any business by spreading rumours! Take for example, we all know that even the best run banks cannot withstand a run, and collapsing a bank is very easy (see HCG). That is how quick and easy it is to make money in shorting, sadly the law is totally blind on this.

HCG was an earlier victim and thanks Mr. Buffet I hope the shorts took a bloodbath on that one.

My questions are a). can EIF find the Buffet type of back stoppers to rid itself of the shorts? b). if not, can us small retails continue to hang in there and perhaps face the DH type of volatility until management gives up and sell the company, or c). I should just take my second loss on EIF and learn from hereon just stay away from short infested stocks?

Your insight is much appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Brick Brewing Company has shown very good gains since I bought it. Do you see further upside in relation to the fundamentals and momentum? I am at a decision point and considering taking my profits and investing the original amount in another small/medium size brewery. If I were to do this do you have any suggestions regarding this type of company. Thanks.
