Q: Please, Peter: Forward earnings for TMB look exceptionally good, ratings, too. TMB is much more than softwood lumber, including a lot of earnings coming from a specialized pulp (prices up, WTO ruled largely in Canada's favour with China in a tariff dispute)yet TMB has traded in a very NARROW range over the last 3 months or so and continues to do so. OK, TMB is a risk because of high debt... but can you explain the reason for the narrow trading range? I'm thinking it might be a big company like Fairfax, somehow able to buy and sell in a way that affects the price in this way but I don't know anything about how to dig further to get an answer to "why this range"?
Can you help?

Q: My only gold holding is McEwen Mining (MUX)and I am looking at either Kirkland Lake (KL) or B2Gold (BTO).
BTO has almost one billion shares outstanding while KL has less than 200M although their respective market caps are close in size. Is this a determining factor and which one would you favour, and why?
MUX was my first choice because the CEO owns 25% of the company, he has a great track record and they have no debt. Good choice?
Thank you.

Q: Hi, could you update your current view on this company? I remain very interested in the VR and AR sector since it seems like it is high growth mode. Last year SEV had a serious set-back with the CEO's untimely death, but it seems like they are finding their footing again. They mentioned recently some important agreements signed and are moving to a larger building. Do you see this as a good time to take a speculative position on it? Or do you see one of the major tech companies (who?) just overtaking the market? If so would SEV be a potential takeover target or just get squeezed out over time? Your perspective on this space is appreciated.

Q: Hi, I'm looking for growth companies in the Financial sector, either Canada or US. I already have major banks covered, and not a big fan of the "payday loan" type companies that finance at very high rates such as gsy. Do you have any recommendations here, in the context of likely 2 small interest rate hikes per year in the US for the next couple of years, and generally positive economy?
