Q: I am currently holding WPK after having switched to it from CCL.B a few months ago when it seemed to get a bit over valued. I just noticed that there seems to be some negative correlation on these two stocks and I don't really understand why that would be since I always thought that these companies were very similar. Can you explain this and do you think it is a good time to start getting back in to CCL.B or should I just stick with WPK. Thanks

Q: Peter and Ryan,
I know you're expertise is Canadian investments, but I'm interested in your thoughts regarding the future prospects for American regional banks.If you believe there is upside in the sector, are there any specific companies you could recommend, or is there an ETF you believe has upside in the future?
Thanks so much for your appreciated guidance.

Q: I have owned WFC for a couple of years and purchased it because it was considered to be the best in class by some (Warren Buffet) although its reputation has been tarnished in the last few months. I know you have always preferred JPM. Would you endorse a switch over to JPM or does WFC still provide a pretty reasonable upside in your opinion?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Greetings
Have you ever considered a list of stocks to own, dare I say it, forever? Something so enduring that you can almost set it and forget it. My list would include Berkshire Hathaway, Phillip Morris, Coca Cola. It would discourage frequent trading, focusing on price targets, hand wringing over every quarterly, etc.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

Q: Hello, Lucara sent out a press release today indicating completion of sale of 12 large diamonds totalling $38+ million. Wondering how you feel this will impact the stock price.
Also, I note a large run up in price of Grande West Transportation. Anything other than recent sales (incl USA)? Could this be a New Flyer proxy?
Thank you,
Brian

Q: I have held Novartis for a few years and still show a profit of ~33%. However it has dropped significantly in the last 18 months. In the pharma space, I also hold Knight Therapeutic (GUD) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). I wonder if Novartis is still worth keeping or should I consider switching to something else (or increasing my holding in J&J or GUD). It represents ~1% of my portfolio which is well diversified but light on pharma. Although not your primary field of expertise, I would still appreciate any light you could shed on the company. Thank you for your valuable insights.
