Q: Hello I just read your comments on the Brit exit I agree with what you say and selling into this kind of created market turmoil is suicidal .This is a classic example of the Pigmailia effect the remain side said the market would fall as vote getting strategy and when they lost investors panic but nothing changed Boston pizza is still the same

Q: Priceline is getting murdered today (down over 11%), because of their exposure to Europe - both in terms of revenues and currency exchange - which are assumed to be negatively impacted by the BREXIT vote. At the same time, it is on a growth path, its PE is really not that high for such a solid company, and I can't help but wonder if the sell-off today is overdone. Do you think this is a good entry point into PCLN?

Q: Hi I see IT has a currency hedge till March 2017 (details included)
Regardless I imagine exposure will result in a big sell off. Would you agree?
Cross Currency Swap On November 23, 2015, the Company entered into a cross currency swap agreement (the Currency Swap) in order to minimize the Companys exposure to exchange rate fluctuations between the Great British Pound (GBP) and the US Dollar (USD) as cash generated from the Companys operations is largely in GBP while principal and interest payments on the Companys Term Facility is in USD. Under the Currency Swap, 90% of the Companys USD Term Facilitys interest and principal payments will be swapped into GBP. Intertain will pay a fixed 7.81% interest in place of floating USD interest payments of Libor plus 6.5% (Libor floor of 1%). The interest and principal payments will be made at a GBP/USD FX rate of 1.5135 on USD notional amount of $293,962,500. The Currency Swap terminates on March 31, 2017.

Q: My first reaction to the Brexit news was to buy the SP500 dip this morning, but now I recall that in 2011, the market fell 17% over two weeks. This was triggered by the debt ceiling fears. With Britain leaving the European union and possibly more countries following, it seems that this event is FAR MORE important than the debt ceiling, so a 15% correction seems very probable. Usually, when an investor has cash, it's better not to wait for a pullback, but now we do an have an "event" on our hands. The media will surely go on a fear mongering campaign. Would you recommend waiting a week to start buying, or, giving it a few more weeks?
