Q: The active North American Oil Rig count has been steadily rising week after week according to reports. Shouldn't this be a good predictor for what is to come for Questor Technologies' core business over the next several quarters. Is it good time begin to accumulate the stock again given its strong balance sheet and if you have a longer investment horizon?

Q: I have a small profit on KEY but I've been disappointed in the lack of growth recently and I was wondering if I could do better with PPL. Yields are about the same but I would prefer more growth. I already have lots of ENB and TRP in a well diversified portfolio. Appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Don’s question of October 7 asked about Canadian vs. US dollars and whether to buy a stock on the TSX or NASDAQ. While many investors are confused on this point, Don should understand that once he buys the stock (on either the TSX or any US exchange) the future performances of the Canadian and US dollars have no effect on the actual value of his gains or losses. In other words (and for doubters), if you were to decide to split your purchase and buy half the shares in Cdn on the TSX and half in USD on a US exchange, each half of your shareholding will worth exactly the same thing regardless of any future movements in the value of the respective currencies.)
