Q: I have approx 30k to invest in a TFSA which currently has Questor as it's only holding. My RRSP pretty much mirrors your Model portfolio with the addition of DHX , GUD and DEE. I would like to maintain a 20-25 total stock approach across both accounts but wonder what companies you recommend at this time or what positions I should add to?

Thank you

Q: Question on Nevada Copper (NCU-T) - would love to hear your thoughts on the name and if you would view the recent pullback towards the 200-day as a buying opportunity. Would have expected stronger performance after the positive permitting news released on July 30th. Is this a short term buying opportunity before final Senate decision this fall?

Q: I am a share holder of Elk Water Resources (ELW), now I have some rights that are also in my account. My broker has informed me that for every 4 rights I can buy one new share at $0.1/share. I have never seen this before, is this info correct and it seems to good to be true buying the shares for $0.1/share when they are trading at $0.78/share? Why would a company do this and does it also mean that there is additional dilution coming to all existing shareholders because I assume the additional shares will be issued by the company??
