Q: Now that it is getting closer to the Suncor offer deadline, do you still hold the same opinion for COS share holders not to do anything?

What do you think of the chance for Suncor to up or extend the offer in the next couple of weeks or do you think that window has passed?

Thanks

Q: Can you comment on dee earnings and the company itself, I'm starting to build a position in companies that "should" rebound that are at all time lows, I'm thinking that dee should come out of this and gas and oil prices can't stay this low forever. I'm looking for a holding time period of a couple years. Thanks

Q: Further to Patricia's question: WEQ management has announced that it may pursue "transactions to improve WesternOne's current capital structure, including assessing alternatives for the outstanding convertible debentures." In the conference call, they suggested that everyone knows what sort of transactions they're talking about. So what are they talking about?

Q: Is the negative writing on the wall for MMT especially with the latest news release indicating more shares being practically given away to the prospective buyers ? Sell or hold? Is there any recourse for share holders who don't seem to be well represented by either the BOD or First Energy who are supposed to be looking after share holders' best interests?Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,

What are the chances of Calfrac (CFW) or Trican (TCW) surviving the next 12-24 months. Would either one of these or any other oil service company be worth purchasing during tax loss selling?
When you look at book value of these 2 companies is it calculated with or without debt factored in? Am I right to assume there will be write downs in book value coming?
Thanks, Shane

Q: Caveat – you are not tax experts.
Can you direct me to a source, or can you comment on the COS/SU share exchange as to whether or not this is a taxable event?
Further, would the ACB of the SU shares received in the exchange be the ACB of the COS shares that are exchanged?

Q: Hello 5i, I triggered some gains earlier this year, and am considering potential tax loss selling targets. The pool contains SLW, HWO, GEI and QCOM (all in a non-reg acct). I have read your questions archive concerning these companies. I have what I believe is a nicely-diversified portfolio and do not need the proceeds but am cognizant of the opportunity cost of stagnant money being tied up. The 3 sectors represented in the 4 companies have had some rough times and nobody knows when the sky will clear. SLW has the lowest div of the 4. Do you folks have any points one should consider when prioritizing which one/ones to sell(putting the names in a hat is a fair answer IMO). Thank you in advance.
