Q: Is there a case to be made for trading HCG with it sitting at current levels? I realize that your service advocates careful and balanced portfolio management but there do seem to be opportunities to harvest $.40/.50 cent swings.

As a second part to the question, do you see the company going to Zero or has it already bottomed out as CXR and VRX did before it with the short attacks. The underlying business seems better than it is getting credit for but perhaps that doesn't matter.

Q: Jerome Hass was Market Call, his comments, left me with the impression, that insiders were planning to privatizing this company. Is there no indication on who is looking at the company to buy?? Also, you stated to Ruby that the div. @ 81/2 % is risky, is that because the cash flow or the company could use the money to buy back shares. If they cancelled or greatly reduced the div. then possibly the stock would drop in value and make it cheaper for a buy out??? This seems to me, if any of this was true, would be very unethical, & would there not be some safe guards to prevent this Earl

Q: This is a followup to my question re: the class action suite filed against EFN. You replied asking for a reference to a link.

Here is what I have extracted from a news item on my BMOInvestorline account.

In particular, the complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) CGI's equity contribution to its joint venture with Element Financial Corp. was $68.2 million, rather than the $100 million contribution the Company reported in its public filings; (ii) the Company is being actively investigated by the SEC; and (iii) that as a result of the foregoing, CGI's publicly disseminated financial statements were materially false and misleading.

If you suffered a loss during the class period and wish to obtain additional information, please contact Joseph Klein, Esq. by telephone at 212-616-4899 or visit http://www.kleinstocklaw.com/pslra-sa/celadon-group-inc?wire=1.

Thanks

Q: Good Morning,
Some recent pressure on Canadian bank stocks lately, do you see this continuing in the near term? I would like to add some BNS to a taxable account, what are your thoughts. This will be a long term hold. Have TD and RY in TFSA and RRSP.
Also what are your thoughts on CNR for a long term investment in a taxable account.
Thank you

Q: I am a senior , I am of the view that bonds , preferred shares, fixed income are not as effective an investment device compared to Canadian bank shares. I don't see a lot of risk over the years, but large and consistent yields. Besides liquidity in a bad recession, where else do you see downside by treating bank stocks as fixed ,long term income investments, hence overweight positions in a portfolio.Thanks to a great team for your exceptional service, Jerry

Q: I have owned HCG since 2000.This is a stock I thought I may never sell, but due to circumstances I have considered selling especially after your advise to get out. At what price would you sell as the stock can go up or down 15% in a day? I do not think putting a market price would by wise. I was considering selling at $8.00 per share but the next day the shares were down to about $6.75. Today they are trading at $7.75.
