Q: Hello, I noticed where Perpetual [PMT] has a NAV of $1.84 yet closed today at $0.86. Should that be interpreted as a buying opportunity? I realize they are mainly a natural gas company and are suffering the affects of a low commodity price. Your comments are appreciated. Thanks - Ron

Q: Hi Peter,
The environment and energy continue to be a large issue in today’s world. I am looking at a company named Alter NRG (NRG.T) that address both waste and energy issues via a plasma gasification technology. Roman Abromovich has been acquiring companies in this space and has just purchased 30% of Alter NRG. Their plasma technology is being endorsed by Air Products who is building a $400 million plasma plant in the UK (their largest one time investment). It would seem like the tipping point for the technology is here and I wanted to get your thoughts on investing in this company.
Thanks

Q: After many years in the market with satisfactory results I am finding that the retail investor is becoming more and more at a disadvantage because of market manipulation.I now equate market investing to swimming with the sharks.High frequency trading(manipulation),short selling(naked and otherwise),false rumors,grey market trading and the ability of the hedge funds to attack any stock which may or may not be good value makes me question the wisdom of being involved in the market at all.Do you have an opinion on my concerns?

Q: What is your take on "967 eleven eleven Pizza Pizza" or PZA?
I see that this company is just a hold on TDWaterhouse rating but it pays a decent dividend. It has been around for agesand i still remember the radio catch phrase. It would I believe be a good complement to Boston Pizza and even the Keg... all of them at different markets/price points.

Q: Hi Peter, I too read with great interest your Saturday morning comments in National post about ZEN, Zenyatta. I liked you comments on it but your last paragraph mentions "Still, it takes just one super stock to change your portfolio forever. We sincerely doubt it is going to be one of the ones mentioned above, but we’ll keep watching while looking for better possibilities". Can you please expand on this comment as I have 20% of my portfolio in ZEN and I am up over 400%. I have done a lot of research on this company along with the Vein graphite and the numbers I come up with are looking like another Aurelian.

Q: AAB: Aberdeen International. One of this company's recent press releases indicates a value of .83 cents per share, but the company is trading at .33 cents. There were so many qualifiers regarding the calculation of the .83 cent value that I am confused. Is this "smoke and mirrors" on their part?
Would you consider buying in view of AAB's holdings and dividend payments of ~ 5.7% and a Globe and Mail 4 Star rating? Thanks.

Q: Hi, Peter.
I am afraid that I am becoming addicted to your 'Investments and Company Questions' as well as your column in the National Post. I read with great interest your Saturday morning comment that you sincerely doubt that Orbite Aluminae (ORT.TO) will be a big winner.
Would your opinion change if Orbite begins commercial production and distribution by mid 2013?
Thanks,
Ed

Q: Hi Peter,
ok, Sandstorm Gold, SSL paid Premier Gold 2.20 for their holdings in Premier Royalty, NSR. Now, Premier Royalty is currently trading at $1.57. Do you view Premier Royalty this as a buying opp at current prices after SSL was happy to pick up almost 60% of NSR at 2.20?
