Q: re: FUNC First United Corp

this is a small bank that was recommended on Market Call. Pre 2008 it was as high as $23.41. It is now @ $8.75.

I realize it is U$ based... keeping that in mind do you have any observations you could share?

Thanks for all you do

Q: re: TWX Time Warner

got online today and have seen a 15% increase. The only thing I can see in the news is TWX CEO Bewkes officially rejecting the offer from 21st Century Fox.

Is there any other news you have that accounts for such a significant jump?

Thanks for all you do for all of us

Q: I have a question regarding CEFL.US, which is a 2X leveraged fund of funds product created by UBS. If I buy this in a taxable account, is it your belief that a 35% foreign withholding tax would have to be paid? I think that withholding tax would have to be paid on it's cousin BDCL.US because it has MLPs as its consituents, but I'm not sure about the former. I know you guys aren't accountants but I thought maybe you would know. thx

Q: I have some cash in my U.S. account that I want to put to work towards a high yielding stock that trades in the states. Was going to buy ORAN ADR on NYSE, however, judging from response to a previous members question on it, I would be better off investing in another company. I am looking at BLX on the NYSE. Do you have any suggestion for company with gooder outlook and possibly a higher yield?

Q: This may very well be outside you area of focus, however thought I would still ask as I respect your opinion on equities.

Contra the Heard was on BNN yesterday with three very small US bank recommendations and a previous small bank recommendation. I am starting my due diligence and chart work. Any thoughts you may or may not have would be appreciated.

The stocks in question are FUNC, MCBC, CACB, BUSE.

thanks in advance, Mike
