Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize you do not cover USA stocks! I do not need any in-depth analysis. The stock spiked up 15.7% today and I do not see any announcements. I am wondering if they got a new contract or just because Europe may have better economic growth. Can you see anything on the "wire"?
Thanks for your help...

Q: Hi,

I recently sold cineplex for a nice gain in a taxable account, and i am holding
Sylogist with a loss almost equal to my gain on cineplex.
I am thinking I should sell my Sylogist to offset part
of my capital gain on Cineplex with a view to buying back
Sylogist (or not) after 30 days. Is there anything wrong with this plan ? If Sylogist is till not performing after 30 days would Vermillion (VET) make a suitable replacement. My only other energy holding is PKI (sorry the name escapes me right now)

Thank you gor considering my question and your advice.

Thank you

Q: I have a half position in EIF. This past week there have been several sharp price drops when a big sell-order hits it. It then slowly recovers (sometimes)and gets hit again. Should I be concerned about this, or use these price-drops to move up to a full position?

Q: Hello.
Looks like your comments are trending to the negative side as stock price makes its way lower. Waiting to watch this low seems wasteful.

You have written "keep an eye on at this level".
Do you mean get ready to sell because of the disaster that others may no about or be favorable to picking stock at this level?

Peter, it is really hard to see you as a Fund manager holding on to a stock like this with real capital.

Your clarification on keep and eye would be good.
thanks
Dave
