Q: Any new thoughts on GBV? Do you think that it has hit bottom, and this could be an opportune time to acquire shares at a low price?

Q: Hi Again Peter
I read your answer and one thing sticks out to me that you said
"Sometimes, veins are so profitable it doesn't matter as much"

This is what they are referring to as "vein-Type" like Sri Lanka but it is not a Vein. it is hydrothermal much like Diamonds in Breccia pipe. Reference to Sri Lanka is for the purity not the Veins.
Not sure if you were aware of this

Please only publish if you like if not please reply privately
Thanks

Q: I noticed Hang Feng (HF) is trading below tangible book of over $5, with low debt (current ratio over 6 and total debt to equity of 0.05). The CEO recently made an opportunistic bid for the reamining shares at $2.20 and seems to have conspired with the customers to blackmail the shareholders into accepting the offer. That being said the shares are well below this offer price. Is this an opportunity or are there such serious doubts about the integrity of the process that its a hold or eve an outright sell at this point?

Q: Hi Peter, just read your answer to previous email. You mentioned
"now the third test. You are right, if these results can get extended over larger samples, then the prospects for ZEN will be very good."
This would be considered large sample would it not? it was the entire length 170m (one half of it)of core from hole 5 that they sampled.
Thanks
Don

Q: Hi Peter, just a follow up comment to the Becker Milk Company (BEK.B) question that was asked earlier. I am fairly certain that the bulk of the business is renting space to Mac's (owned by Alimentation Couche Tard), and that they don't operate any more Becker's convenience stores.

It might be a bit small for your coverage, but it ticks a few boxes, such as no analyst coverage, no debt, nice dividend (with special dividends now and then), and large management ownership.

With regards to the possible takeout, my initial thoughts were that Couche Tard would get sick of paying rent and buy them out. I am now thinking that it would be a decent way for a REIT to make inroads with a large potential tenant. Does that sound reasonable, or am I way off base?

Q: Becker's (BEK.B) looks pretty thinly traded but if my stats are correct, it is selling below BV and has a pretty good ROI. As I now live in western Canada I've not been in their stores for many years, but they used to be pretty clean and looked well run. Your thoughts?

Q: wow this thing is taking a pounding. Not sure if its trading along with the broader market (which makes no sense to me). How do you give this stock such a great rating given its model of 'big elephant' hunter? Its lost 20% of its value on the stock in 45 days ish because the elephant is hiding??

Q: Hello 5I,
I have a question on IBI Group (IBG). I am very much underwater with this stock but even with the dividend cut I am recieving a 4% income on my original investment. I held the stock all the way down as a major bank's brokerage house was way behind reality with its view of the stock. My question is do you have an opinion on this company going forward? I can treat the original investment like a 'bond' and wait out current price weakness; but only if the company has better times ahead. Obviously I am not listening to the Brokerage House anymore on this one.
Thx
