Q: My question was on cannacord. Bought at $11.00 earnings don't look good and compensation is an issue. What company in the same space would fit as a replacement. I think I have dead money for a while. What in your opinion would be a fair takeover price.

Q: After buying CCL.B at $98 less than two years ago, I've just sold off my small position, figuring -- based on my very amateurish technical analysis skills -- that it's in a range of between $180 and $235. I'd like to buy it back again later in the summer. Would you agree or disagree with my thesis, and if you agree, at what price would you put in a standing order? Also, my concern about CCL.B at $235 was the 25 PE multiple my Investorline account shows. I know you like to say "pay up for good companies," but a 25 PE for a label maker?

Q: Hi, a guest on BNN Market Call tonight, mentioned of another "Short" report out on DH Corp, yesterday. In his words, one should be "fearful" of investing in this stock. He also disclosed that he sold his position after company's recent "horrible" quarter. Have you come across this new "short" report ? Do you find any basis for such strong negative comments ? I have noticed, in past, that sometimes portfolio managers on BNN downplay the stocks, they sold or do not own. I have a full position but may consider adding, if stock gets hit once again. What are your thoughts? Thanks

Q: I have reviewed the performance ratios for CXI and find that its operating margin and net margin is not just robust but three to five times greater than its peers, and its ROC about twice other comparables. In other words it appears to be pumping out cash miore or less in line with the cost of visiting one of their kiosks. Should that run in due course to a hefty dividend or are there other potential avenues for what looks to be a very robust income stream???

Q: Hello to all of you at 5i,
It would seem that the US Fed will very likely raise its overnight rate this summer and there is a strong consensus among pundits that REITs experience quick declines when interest rates rise. How do you feel about Chartwell's vulnerability to that scenario? Is it as interest-rate sensitive as the other, more common types of REITs?

Q: Greetings

I am presently without any exposure to oil and gas companies. To what extent do you think PKI might be a good place to re-enter the sector? Your most recent review was a tepid "B" so I am completely open to other suggestions you might have.

I am a retired conservative investor who has no need to "shoot out the lights" and realize that diversity is a good thing.

Thanks
