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?

Q: Love the Site. Keep it up!
I bought last summer bmpi Bill My Parents in the USA.
Average price 70 cents. Now its 40 cents.
They market prepaid cards to young and are money management solutions company that provides a text message when purchase is made to alert kids and parent.
Interesting technology, they signed Justin Bieber who will be doing marketing campaigns soon. And recently the company has hired top executives from former big companies like Wells Fargo and Amex. They want to do a reverse split to make the share price more attractive and will change the name of the company.
From what you see is there a Future in bmpi?

Q: Bear raids, market manipulation, IROC, And the like....

Peter i own some T.ORT (comment if you think it a good or bad investment) last week it had an interesting "flash crash" markets opened and within a few minutes (i am sure you can get the records) ORT crashed to $1.33 from about $2.50. The volume taking it down was supposedly only about 250K shares (not enough to do this damage). 4M shares ended trading that day, IROC (whose side are they on) cancelled or repriced orders to $1.90 and claimed it was a CIBC "fat finger" trade. i believe it was criminal trading using CIBC likely out of country beyond IROC control and related to naked shorting, etc. I've seen this happen before (DNDN was the most famous example just before approval news), from your experience what is typically behind "flash crash" and should i be worried.
