Q: Hi Team
I have about 23,000 shares in ORT and down around 70%. I have owned for about 4 years waiting for the plant to start producing. They are now in testing/commissioning mode and have been for some time...I do plan on waiting this out as they are so close, but sometimes tomorrow never comes. They have had so many delays I stopped counting.
What are your thoughts on this company coming through? Time to sell what little I have left or hang on?

Q: Hello, this is to clarify an answer to a question asked by Elise on Evertz Technologies. You mention a special dividend of $1.10 per share declared by the company. Since I hold 500 shares of ET, does this mean I will receive a special dividend of $550 in December? Will that be on top of the regular quarterly dividend? Regards, Gervais

Q: Hi, we have Shopify and Spin Master in most accounts in the family.

Shopify has been quite volatile, in line with FANG and other technology stocks, but its swings are much higher than its peers. Recently it traded as low as $50.84 ( after a week of Trump win)and within a week as high as $60.50. Is it worth adding at current level $52?

Spin Master had an incredible run to $39.50. With recent pullback, is it prudent to add at $34-$35 level?

Thank you.

Q: I manage my husband's and my TFSA's as if they are one account so we do not duplicate the stocks in the 2 accounts and can have a reasonable size of position. We have a similar weighting of ALA, REI.UN, SIA, WSP, ZEB, BEP.UN, CGX, and HR.UN and PKI, and a double weighting of CPD and CDZ. We currently have about $110K in the two accounts and $20K of that is in cash. Can you suggest what we might add to or change in the above list, considering that we prefer income paying securities with some growth prospects and want the TFSA's to act independently of our other investments as a relatively conservative growth vehicle.

Q: Could you please comment on the 3rd q results? I listened to the conference call and came away impressed by the growth prospects. They have taken on more space which will be ready to facilitate a large contract with a semiconductor that needed assurances the company had the capacity to deliver the volumes they need. There were a few large sophisticated buyers in the past couple of months(Radoff Foundation etc) that seems to suggest the company is undervalued.
