Q: Greetings: In one of your recent answers you indicated that best current GIC rates are in the 2.75% range. The best rates I see in Vancouver (2% one year, 2.5% fiver year) are with Oaken Capital, part of the Home Capital Group (Home Trust, Home Bank). Is Oaken Capital a pretty good provider? Are those rates in line with what I should expect? I intend to set up a laddered series with about $100K
Thank you

Q: I have been looking at MG for awhile and was wondering why the stock has fallen over the past 1.5 years? The dividend payout has risen over the past 4 years and they have very low dept. The returns on asset, equity, and capital are also consistently high over the past 5 years.

Is this simply investors being tired or is there something else, and would it be a good time to enter?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Would Mr Baazov be allowed to put in a bid and take the company private while having been charged? Do you think bigger parties are looking at buying Amaya? If true it is unbelievable what I am reading today--ie with all his money why risk getting charged and accepting puny kickbacks . Does not make sense. Innocent until proven guilty!!!

Q: I was wondering if your response to Eugene this morning regarding CI Financial would also apply verbatim to FSZ? I work in the financial services industry and I share your concerns for growth in these companies. The dividend is great and I assume reasonable secure but do you hold much hope of the stock price ever rising? The share price is about where is was 2 years ago.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Could I get your opinion on ADN - I am looking at a small position to be held mainly for the dividend with some hope of small capital gains. Can you tell me what their payout percentage is, insider ownership, potential impact by US lumber talks, and is it a take-over candidate (I think I've heard this somewhere)?
Thank-you

Q: I view EQB as a mini HCG. EQB stock has performed well this year and is near its 52 week high where as HCG has not. Why do you think EQB has performed better this year? Which do you think is a better buy at this time?

Q: I have been watching PBH for awhile and was going to purchase then it starting breaking higher again. Is it okay to star to pick away it at this level. It has had a good run and I wonder if I should wait for a pull back as the fall usually has times of volatility or buy some now and add on market weakness.

Q: Despite your recent comment that Knight is likely in no hurry to invest it's $600M plus
cash, the share price is on a roll and hitting 52 week highs. Is this excitement over the former Paladin executive joining the team, mitigating any health risk that Mr. Goodman may encounter or just enthusiasm for their big bank account pre-election anticipating the possible emergence of bargains depending on who wins? Thanks.
