Q: I bought this quite recently as its valuation seemed decent and the stock seemed to be firmly in recovery mode. Do your resources indicated why it dropped 14% today? This is not a small cap stock...

Q: Hi Peter, I know the question I am asking is very hard to predict/answer. Although I would appreciate if you give it a shot.

I currently have your growth portfolio and some stocks from your balance portfolio on a margin account. I have some US growth stocks too(like AGN, CERN, BIDU). I have enough cushion but I do have 30% of my portfolio on margin. I would appreciate if you just do not advice me not to use margin(like other financial professionals).

My question is do you think considering all current turmoil and risks looming(US election, oil price, global recession), should I be better off taking some profit off the table? I was reading Prem Watsa's 2016 letter and he was very negative things to say regarding current valuation. Basically what do you think Canadian/US market would be at year end? Do you think there might be some opportunity(like last August or October or like Feb 2016)? I would really appreciate your insight. What would you do in this situation if you are in my shoes?

Q: Hi Peter, I bought this company in 2015 at 1.50-ish. It is now sitting at 67 cents. I am 62% down on it. I know it is a smaller gas company and I mistimed the buy and my oil/natural gas call was wrong. I bought it at that time seeing its valuation is very cheap. I don't need the capital now and can hold onto it for 5 years. I could not find much info on the company. Do you have some more information on your Bloomberg about this company? What is your analysis on YGR?

Q: What's up with the naming convention for preferred shares? For example, Artis REIT Series C Preferred Shares trade as AX.PR.U. I've noticed this with other prefs and find them hard to locate.

Q: I do my investing online so do not have an advisor. There is a notice for Amaya stock owners to see if we want to join the class action suit. I only own 100 shares so not much at risk, but do you recommend to join it, or since I still own the stock, to not join it.

Q: I'm trying to increase dividend and decrease my non dividend paying stocks. Which of these would you buy today for a safe dividend and some capital appreciation on a long term hold? Or does something else look good to you? I'm fairly well balanced with room to buy into utilities, telecom, oil/gas or metals but not real estate, financial, consumer or tech.
