Q: First bought a small position when it had dropped to $90 from its alt-time of around $117. Averaged down several months ago to a $53 cost and about a 3.5% position. Am thinking about chasing it at its current price of $29 to lower my cost to $40. Can't understand the downward pressure on this stock. I know it has some debt but also strong earnings. Can't help but think of Teck when it was down below $4 not that long ago and now is over $15. I don't like averaging down but it just seems so mis-priced. Forgetting about the short manipulations, do you you see any faundamental downside risk.

Q: Hello Peter,
In your latest Market Update you are suggesting:
"....We would view any declines in the market/stocks during the lead up to the Brexit vote as an opportunity to add to names that investors may have been waiting for 'better prices' on...."
Providing that there will be opportunity,I am planing to buy PBH,SIS,NFI,JKHY.US and AMZN.US .
My question is: when do you think is better to buy ,on day of voting for BREXIT , before day of voting or after day of voting?

Thanks

Q: Could you please give me a list of your favourite insider owned companies presently? A percentage of insider ownership and a brief reasoning as to why you are choosing the company/companies over other possibilities. If there is one that could be considered a full position purchase at this time or would you ease into all the names. Thank you

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.
One of the money managers on BNN recommended GSBD as a "top pick" today. This company seems to fly under the radar, yet offers a rather attractive 9% yield. I have not been able to find much detail on this company. Can you please comment on the company's payout ratio, sustainability of its dividend, risk profile, etc. I'd like to know if I'm taking on excessive risk in exchange for the juicy yield.
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hello 5i,
Last week i asked a question regarding broad market etf's and you mentionned vun. I failed to specify that i was looking for unhedged versions. My research shows two funds that seem to correspond to vun. They are: vfinx and vfiax. Am i right in that? And if so, i imagine the difference between the two funds is that vfiax is the same fund but needs ten thousand dollars initiat purchase. Am i right in this?
Thanks
