Q: Hi,

I came across the U.S company Sanderson Farms in a recent issue of Moneysense. I am thinking of taking a small position in it (About 1% of my portfolio). The valuation on it seems very cheap, and the company seems to be profitable and cash flow positive. What are the main risks with this name (Leaving aside currency risk). Do you agree that the valuation (P/E) is very cheap. If so, why is that?

Q: Just wanted to get your thoughts on Micron (mu) after their latest results. As it is a high beta stock I have a very small portion of it in my portfolio (less than half a percent).
I have owned it for less than a year and I am about even in it (with the U.S. dollar exchange).
Given their lower future earnings estimate I was considering getting out of it and rotating into a different high beta Canadian stock. If so, I was considering PHM or if you could recommend something else.
Thanks!

Q: I understand this Co. is involved in gene cell engineering, mainly in Cancer research.It is the company that has made an offer to purchase the Summerland Research company that pioneered the Artic Apple.The stock itself appears to be volatile and I know that you do not cover US stocks per se, but it appeared on BNN 10 days ago in a segment of new and innovative companies on the horizon? I wonder if you are aware of this company and could provide any further information on it?Thank you. I am "hooked" on your site.Thank you.

Q: Please provide your opinion this US ADR: Barclays preferred share series D. Please comment on the risk of it being called and where you expect the yield to be over the next 12 months.

(I like this ADR because its has great yield; good for US income; and there is no US tax withholding on the dividends.)

Q: Looks like after over a two year wait I finally got my wish. Starbucks has announced a 2:1 stock split. Currently their dividend is 0.32 per quarter. Is it safe to assume that after the split the dividend will only be 0.16 considering that there will be double the shares? I see nothing to indicate that I should sell any of my shares going forward and I am thinking I should continue to hold for another 4-7 years. Compiling all my accounts Starbucks is a 5.86% of everything that I have invested. What are your thoughts on Starbucks going forward

Thanks
