Q: Peter: In your experience, has it ever happened that a company does a bought deal financing and instead of buying something with the money, they instead receive a takeover offer? My intuition tells me something is going on at Heroux Devtek HRX. I am probably wrong but the last time I saw this kind of activity was with a company I owned called Dalsa (though I don't think they had just done a financing)and within a few months it was taken over at a huge premium. Just wondering.

Q: CSS Contrans. Similar to my Q on Healthlease I am in the same position with CSS. Thank you! usually I would by the buyer when it pulled back on the purchase but unfortunately that didn't happen. Do you have some stocks to suggest? Mullen Group perhaps?

TIA

Q: Hello 5 I Team

My US Margin Account presently represents only 1% of my total holdings. I intend to make contributions to it later in the year, but for now I would like to see the money "do something" while it's sitting there. Rather than engage in any futile stock picking, I thought I would invest in an ETF which could provide consistent, if modest growth. To that end, I had my eye on the new ETF Direxion iBillionaire Index ETF, (IBLN), or the Market Vectors Wide Moat ETF, (MOAT). I would appreciate your opinion on these choices -- or your suggestion as to what might be a better stock to hold in this context. Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Team,

Do you have any comments on Aimia Inc.'s latest results and would you still consider it relatively "safe" as a stock and bond holding? I have one of its bonds maturing in September and wonder if I should keep this company on my list of potential investments (either shares or another bond).

Many thanks, Michael

Q: Patrick Horan, on BNN last night, is shorting Cineplex - attendance is dropping and he believes people see movies in recessions, not in good times. I've been a holder of this stock since Jan of this year ($42) and am quite disappointed in its performance to date. (and its in my kids RESP!) Should I get out while my losses are relatively low?

Q: JDSU Getting tired of holding. Am down 20 per cent in two separate accounts. Street did not like earnings. Starting to think it was a huge mistake buying this for a turnaround. Lots of cash but no catalyst except for possibility of a takeover. Are they in the same space as INVN Invensense? Thinking of switching to INVN. Does that make sense to you?

Q: I would like your opinion on Pioneering Technology (PTE). It is a Mississauga based company trading on the TSE. It seems to be growing rapidly. Thanks.

Q: Peter & Co.

Can I have your take on Pethealth's latest quarter (PTZ). I've been feeling frustrated with this holding lately. While revenue is coming along nicely, more often than not the bottom line is hit, from quarter to quarter, with "one-time" costs. I've been waiting a relatively long time now (~2 years) for consistent free cash flow from this company.

Also, what are your thoughts on the lack of a conference call.

Thanks very much,
Tom

Q: Asked for high yielding american companies earlier and one suggestion was SFL on the NYSE. I was considering NFSHF on pink sheets. How about it, and do you think there is any chance of an off shore oil renaissance.
