Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I accumulated a double position in Valeant over the last months. I average about 131 and now it's 144. Last week the stock went up (apparently) due to Valeant reporting that they do have organic growth. Plus, the chief executive and founder of ValueAct Capital Management, is joining the board. Organic growth has been a concern and so, with this out of the way, I see Valeant as being a far less risky investment and am now considering holding this for over a year, as opposed to a short term trade. What do you think?

Q: CCL Industries has been quite volatile, lately, unlike for its business characteristics (packaging).It did n't participate in Friday's bounce after previous sell off. INK has reported that insider selling has accelerated in this company. My average purchase price is just where it's currently trading. Should I hold on or move to names like Inter tape Polymers for higher dividend and growth? Thanks

Q: ALC. A recent article on sea captians indicated there are few captians to replace those that are about to retire. Would you know if ALC may be having a present or future problem with this issue. Is it just the captians or also the other key positions on these ships?

Q: Is Currency Exchange International (CXI on TSX) worth a full position in a diversified portfolio? I was considering this over Manulife (MFC), for a bit of added exposure in the financial sector, though understandably each is in a different sub-sector of Financials. Or would Manulife be the better investment? What are the inherent risks with CXI other than its size? 5 I philosophy also stresses the value of good management in carrying a company forward: are you at all familiar with this management team and its track record? Thanks, as always.

Q: CXI Currency Exchange International. Would like your thoughts on the quarterly release.

Please consider covering this company. It is growing at a significant pace, has a banking license on the horizon and seems to trade at a very reasonable valuation.

Q: PUR... Pure Technologies

Right now according to BNN, 87% of revenue for PUR comes from water and waste with only 7% coming from O&G.

Considering the hoops LNG has to go through to secure approvals for new pipe lines - and understandable so - it seems to me this 7% should be increasing dramatically over the coming years which should bode extremely well for PUR and their new technology designed to monitor and detect pipeline faults and failures.

With that in mind, this stock to me appears to be a no brainer.

Is there something I am not aware of that could change this? What competition does PUR have? Is there another technology out there that is doing the same job? Would you recommend a buy at this time for PUR or a wait and see?

Thanks for all you do

Gord
