Besides the possibility of a leak of unimpressive earnings, what other reasons might account for the drop?
Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter and the team,

I am wondering if OPSEN (ops-x) is going to go anywhere. I understand that it is a tiny company and they are still new with the medical instrumentation. Are they going to get any traction? Would it be a hold after the recent continued losses or would you bail out?

Investment would have been nothing but nightmare without your great support. THANK YOU!

Q: Just a comment, but what happened to horizons north logistics was insider information being released before the public had any idea what was happening,the management of this company should be brought to justice. I was a large shareholder at a very low price so i did all right, but for a companys share price go from 10 to 8.25 in 7 or 8 trading days on no news when everyone called the company still cheap including peter hodson and then have the horrible earnings announcement which brought the stock down to the low sevens is an insult and frankly an outright crime.i sold my shares in the low sevens and will never be back. The management of this company at best are lowlifes. Dave

Q: HNL,MRE: It seems that two money management cos.had prior info. on HNL's poor profit this quarter and they downgraded the company. This is further evidence that the retail investor is being played the goat.Don't you think the regulator should be on top of this immediately?
MRE has been going up in price recently. Any rumors floating around that you may have heard.
Thanks for your help and support.

Q: With the seemingly increasing scrutiny over crude being shipped via rail, could this have a negative impact on EFN's growth prospects? One of their largest growth areas seems to be in railcar leasing. On the topic, are there other companies that may be especially at risk due to this? I wouldn't be surprised if new regulations come in to limit the use of DOT-111. One article I read said that this could cause a large expense for leasing companies - if they need to upgrade their fleet.

Q: AAPL: Apple. Down 7% or so today. Icahn buys another $500 M. Is the market right or is Icahn right? I had been holding on to my Apple shares expecting better results. Is there another US stock with better potential (e.g. Qualcomm) for me to switch into or should patience rule the day for a while yet?

Thanks.

Q: ERF Enerplus has done really well in the past year. I still expect quite a bit more due to their significant growth in production in the US. Question is the Ex-dividend date is Feb 3, the record date is Feb 5. What is the purpose of the ex-dividend date being different than the record date. Is it the record date that counts as to whom gets the dividend.
