Q: Hi Peter,
What about WPT? Natural gas seems likely to be abundant and cheap for years to come. They keep growing but don't seem to be able to make a profit.

Q: Primero's (P) numbers look great, and Charles Oliver named them a top pick today. But why did the company replace a convertible with equity on July 26, effectively issuing shares to Goldcorp at #3.74/sh, taking their ownership from 35% to 41%? And why did Goldcorp sell shares to the market on Sept 18 for $5.25/sh reducing its holding from 41% to 32% (looks like the 32% must be held until Aug '13 under a lock-up agreement). What do you think these insiders know that is pronpting them to sell at these prices?

Q: Peter, your insights are valuable - I was looking at BDI after your latest research update and you mention lots of inside ownership. I took a look on a well known online trading platform and found on "INK Research" in the last year Net Selling of $15.5M has been done by Sr Officers over at BDI. I know personal circumstances can impact selling but this feels a little less "Bullish" than net buying. The team may still own a whack of stock but I thought I would ask the questions to see if you know something by talking with Management. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Q: Peter, would you please give me your updated thoughts on Parrallel. The price of 4.12 is rediculous for the yield it is paying. Is the payout ratio really out of line? Looks to me like if they cut the div. by 25% it is still a great buy.Where would the .08 cent div. have to go to to be sustainable? Thanks Ken

Q: I am invested heavily in CNQ and COS, and might do some diversification progressively. As COS is a one-poney company and CNQ is about 70% in oil and 30% in gas. Would it make sense to sell COS first (notwithstanding its more substantial dividend and its just published rather decent quarterly report), as gas seems on the verge of making a come-back and CNQ has a pretty good track record for the past 20 years ?

Q: Hi, Peter.
I am amazed at the great service you provide to investors for such a low subscription fee. Much appreciated!!
I have owned, sold and repurchased Athabaska Minerals (ABM) several times. I currently have a substantial position and the stock is going parabolic. Is it time to hit the sell button and run?
Thanks.

Q: I was skimming through the news on GDI (General Donlee) on Stockwatch and noted a big sale by their head guy, via another company he controls. How much notice do you take of this kind of insider trade? By the way, could you recommend one or two sites for keeping an eye on daily company news. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter
Just read your blog on etf's. Tried to "post a comment" to the article but the site wouldn't let me, so, sorry, thought I would post my comment here. While I agree with much of what you say, I was a bit suprised by your negative inclusion of HAC as being an example of etfs having gone too far. This is an etf which has consistently beat the tsx over its three year history (it is up 20-25% over that time). Though not being one, I was also somewhat taken aback by your apparent slur on farmers. While it may be that the theory of seasonal investing is not in keeping with your beliefs, I would respectfully suggest that you consider the returns of the etf, the reputation of technical analysts such as Don Vialoux and Brooke Thackery and the distasteful suggestion that only a "farmer" would invest in such a fund.
I'm very sorry Peter to be posting such a negative comment, I have enjoyed your analysis and commentary for years and I continue to do so.

Q: Re: LOY. In follow-up to Bruce's question from Oct.25, I noticed that today over 7 million shares were traded (average around 150K)- though it closed even for the day. You indicated you have been watching the stock. It would appear someone made a large commitment. Any thoughts on todays activity and what it may mean for the future of the stock? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter & Co...I have been holding Aurizon Mines (AUZ)for a couple of years and am down 40%. If you are expecting the gold sector to be strong going forward is this stock worth holding for a recovery or should I look for another stock in the gold space. Also, I want to say thank you very much for your excellent advice. My stock portfolio, with 5i, that I started 9 months ago is up 16%, not including dividends...stellar!!
