Q: i agree with stevens question on knight.
i owned 40,000 shares of knight, i have been in since 6.00, now i have only 12,000 shares.i did well but honestly i expected more.
it is unlikely that jonathan goodman will do anything with his 760 million stash in 2017 , he is looking to buy something for almost nothing and what bothers me more than anything, is he raised money 4 times diluted the stock each time and then did nothing with the money and he clearly states it is a stock for your grandkids, so we could be waiting a decade or more and he also says paladin took 19 years to payoff.
my question is do you think maybe you are being too optimistic on this company especially since you have it in 2 portfolios.dave

Q: I assume that the price of AW is declining in response to the perceived slower growth of the company. If this is the case, would it then be viewed as similar to that of Boston Pizza? If that is the case, what might we expect the share price to be when a multiple similar to that of Boston Pizza is applied?

Appreciate the insight.

Q: I have owned the above US ETF's for several months in contemplation of the supposed TRUMP build out. It's not happening and I'm not satisfied. For a major change I am considering TJX, COST, V, DEO & AAPL. How would you rank & what other individual cos. would you recommend. Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon,

I'm thinking of replacing individual stocks that I've held for a long time in my RRSP with either XAW or VXC for the foreign portion of the RRSP portfolio and adding XIC or XIU for the Cdn portion of the portfolio. Is this a good idea and if so which would be your preference and recommendation. Thank you.

Q: i have a bit of a high allocation to banks and i was thinking of trimming Bns. I am also doing this because i have some fear of a housing bust and the proximity of the banks to such an event. And also because there may be a good chance that capital gains tax will be increased next year. I will re invest this money and my question has to do with what sector do you think would be the safest if a housing crash should result. For instance i had thought of buying Canadian Tire. But, i imagine a drop in the housing market will have a big affect on their sales as well. Appreciate your thoughts as usual

Q: Knight Therapeutics (GUD) is my largest holding. Each morning, I get up and while doing the usual ten minute standing ab routine to get going, I wonder what Johnathan Goodman is doing. Unlike me, he has about $760M in cash in his pockets and, again unlike me, he seems unwilling to part with it. I completely understand this is a long term investment and I look at it as a form of security for our future but if he were to go out and buy "someone big" with a product line and a sales force, I can't help but dream that this stock will multiply significantly. Can you send him a message and tell him to start doing those ab exercises. He needs to get moving.
Am I being a little impatient and do you see any signs of activity that might be remotely encouraging?
Thanks.
