Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

I am holding some cash in my son's RESP and given the sell off today, I thought this might be a good buying opportunity. I have 3 years before I will need to start accessing the funds. The account current holds: DHX,WSP and BXE. My questions to you are - would you buy today or wait a little longer to see how deep this pull off will be and what stocks or sectors would you reccomend. I was looking at CGX, Teck and Surge energy but I am open to other suggestins. I also like bank stocks but they seem expensive.
Thank you for your comments.

Q: Aston Hill? It truly baffles me why AHF trades down on a positive press release about AUM. Does this company hit a wall of selling because it issues stock to make acquisitions. It acts like no other stock I have owned and despite apparent good news it has not shown any stength for a very long time. What am I missing?

Q: I recently sold some Amaya (AYA) for diversification, and bought AutoCanada (ACQ), and was told this was a correct move. The problem is that AYA kept moving up, and ACQ down. So this clearly amounts to a move too soon. How long do you estimate ACQ is likely to trend down or stagnate ?

Q: Good morning, I would like your opinion on Sphere 3D and EXO U. They often are compared to one another on Bay Street. Sphere has had an unbelievable 12 month return but cynics believe ANY has not much and its a stock promote given management has done this before with BioSign and also promoted Orbite. On the other hand EXO which has had a nice move post announcing their new Board of Advisors and is run by the Montreal Hypertech family which is a very well respected billion $ private company. Please let me know your thoughts on both companies. Thank you

Q: I am considering an investment in Morguard MRC. Currently I have 3% of the portfolio in REI.UN and HR.UN. In your recent report you concluded MRC's returns make up for the yield and the valuation provides downside risk. Comparing the 3 stocks, over a 5 year period would you expect MRC's returns to be significantly higher than the other 2(capital appreciation and dividend combined)? Would you agree with putting half the current holding into MRC and which of the other 2 would you keep.
Many thanks for your considered opinion
Mike
