Although the Investment Manager is an investment counsel and portfolio manager in Ontario, this Newsletter has not been prepared so as to take into account the investment needs and objectives, personal financial circumstances, investment experience and risk tolerances of any particular investor.

Each recipient should therefore consult with his or her own financial and other advisers as to all matters concerning an investment in those securities.
The Investment Manager, its directors, officers, employees and clients (whether discretionary or non-discretionary and including any pooled funds or other collective investment vehicles managed by the Investment Manager) may have long or short positions in one or more of the securities discussed in this Newsletter and trades in these securities may be executed from time to time and at any time on their behalf, without notice to any subscriber to this Newsletter.
The Investment Manager has taken all reasonable care to ensure that the facts and opinions stated in this Newsletter are true and accurate in all material respects at the date of this Newsletter, but no representation or warranty is made as to their continued accuracy after that date. Further, information set forth in this Newsletter, or upon which the views expressed in this Newsletter have been based, will have been derived from sources the Investment Manager considers reliable, but will not have been independently verified by the Investment Manager, and the Investment Manager shall have no liability as a result of the inaccuracy or inadequacy of this information. Any duty to update this Newsletter is expressly disclaimed. If the information in this Newsletter changes, or if the views of the Investment Manager should subsequently change as a result of market or company or security changes or otherwise, the Investment Manager is under no obligation to update the information and views set forth in this Newsletter.
