Q: I believe High Liner Food only process and distribute seafood, while Clearwater (CLR.TO) also harvest seafood. So do you think CLR.TO will benefit more from higher seafood price? Which company do you prefer? would you consider current price a good entry point?

Thank you very much!

Q: I had reason to call Scotia iTRADE about a different item today and in the discussion CFN came up. I was told that on January 2nd the offer was extended to January 30 and that there is no mention of a special dividend. It seems odd that this extension is not widely known, although I may have missed that information.

Q: Just a comment on Carfinco declined today: Carfinco Financial Group Inc. lowered its January dividend to $0.025 from $0.04 in December, with management noting that the firm has seen an increase in delinquencies and losses on its receivable portfolio in recent months.

Q: Carfinco states "increase in both delinquencies and losses on the finance receivable portfolio in recent months" as the reason for the 38% dividend cut. If they knew the takeover was off would they not have an obligation to disclose with this announcement? And if the deal is off would there not be a break fee coming to CFN as damages that would allow them to continue the higher dividend? Finally it looks to me like selling has been pretty consistent through Monday so it would seem that someone knows something, wouldn't you agree? Thanks, J.

Q: WSP by all account is a stock that should be on cusp of a major break through. You have it in your Income Portfolio (your ACB is $35.73, mine is $34.35) - we are both underwater, a number of BNN guests have it as their top picks in recent months as well. In my own analysis I though all the numbers are pointing upwards, hence I made it my largest investment in my portfolio (about 9%).

However, I'm down about 5% from my ACB in this stock. Why are we all wrong about WSP so far? I can't find anything wrong in it publish materials. Perhaps the Q4 results may shed more light.

What is your assessment of WSP?

Thanks.

Q: I have read your recent comments on AHF and would like to know if yesterdays release of Q4 assets under management has you concerned. I understand the decline in AUM is related to them trying to get out of lower margin products. My concern is I am not seeing where the offsetting increase is for higher margin business. I am not a fan of the "liquid alternative" funds they are currently promoting if that is where they think the higher margin business is going to come from. My guts are telling me to take my losses and move on. Am I too negative on this one?

Q: Does the AYA fiasco do some explaining as to why AHF has been selling off? Diversification bites in the same spot sometimes! Who would of thought?

Q: For 2014 you had been recommending HCG. Despite the stock and my position losing $10 a share since I bought it on your supportive advice last summer, what is your advice now on your 2014 recommendation. It takes a huge recovery in the stock price to make up for this current losing position from those who bought it last summer, or fall. I know the stocks history but more interested in your call on what to do now on this one.
