Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I know this is not a fair question but I would appreciate your opinion which is always helpful. I have held this stock for several years and am even. I will spare you of all the metrics...Please.. just your over view will suffice. Is this large bank a legitimate long term contrarian hold, a value trap or just "dead-money"? HA! HA! Thanks as usual!

Q: I am having trouble making sense of their shareholders letter which is supposed to explain why PLUG has had difficulties this year; there seems to have been a shortage of H2 when PLUG makes the stuff, which makes their statements gobbledegook. What is going on - can you clarify please. I thought previous commentary had identified them as prime movers in a sector in which H2 was going to play a significant role.

Q: On Nov 10, "Dave from Montreal" asked if you knew of a Canadian based ETF that focused on Canadian growth companies. You said you couldn't help, but I think you mistook his question as asking for a Canadian small cap ETF. There is the iShares Canadian Growth Index, XCG, which is for Canadian Growth stocks. The MER is a bit high at 0.55%. The 5 year total return is 8.78% annualized. Top holdings include SHOP, CNR, CP, BN, ATD, CSU, WCN, NTR, T, AEM, which seems a bit of a mixed bag, frankly, for growth. The ETF is based on the Dow Jones Canada Select Growth Index.
