Q: Hi, BGC Partners is traded in the US and I've held it for a many years and have been happy with its progress (both stock appreciation and business performance in general). However, lately it has been trading sideways and I'm unsure why this is? Do you see this as a further buying opportunity, or are there warning flags?

On a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being the highest, where would you place BGCP in terms of risk?

Thanks,

Cam

Q: Q: I plan to have a portfolio which is good for one year, five year and ten or more years. My objective is to have good growth, capital appreciation with moderate risk. Capital preservation over three years in spite of high short-term volatility will be fine. Please tell me what you think of a portfolio I am considering putting together consisting of V-N, UNH-N, WFC-N, NFI-T, FB-O, AMZN-O, GOOGL-O, KXS-T, ENB-T, CN-T, CJT-T, BYD.UN-T. Your thoughts on how this may compare to the BE portfolio performance, volatility, Saftey. Equal weights would be purchased. I invite you to make any changes, additions, deletions? I will appreciate if you place these stocks from high to low priority.
I apologize if I am asking too much. Thank you.

Q: This is a comment on your answer to Harold question. I am going to hold on my TWX shares. The stock rose less than 9% on the news. Based on today's prices, if the deal goes thru, it values AT&T at about $ 26. It seems to me that the market is not expecting this deal to materialize. I know two years ago a take over proposal of much less value didn't materialize and since I am not a trader I see the risk reward scenario favors holding on my shares. It looks to me that TWX is in play if not with AT&T it would be with somebody else. I as the other members value your opinion on this.

Q: Hi, I have shares in Peabody energy which filed chapter 11 earlier in the year. Once listed with the "Q" designation, the shares lingered in the $1.50 range for about six months until the past week where they sky rocketed to what it is currently at $13.50.

Do you have an idea what machinations cause a ch11 stock to go this high? Also should I take advantage of this pop and sell my existing shares?

I read that once a ch11 company climbs out of bankruptcy they can issue new shares making existing common shares worthless. Is it possible that peabody may not do this?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, I am very curious how bankruptcies work.

Thank You,
Andrew
