Mr. Hodson, is this connected with GUD ? If so, why is Advaxis not mentioned in the September 17, 2015 Company Report within Growth Plans (sampling of recent deals) ?
You may publish your response if you wish. Thanks for your attention.

Q: Stock charts , or TMX money both allow you to compare performance between stocks in a sector / I find it helpful in getting a pulse .before buying .. Union Pacific and CNR both were battered , and I bought CNR at a recent low ... I didn't have enough USD but I would have bought Union Pacific as well... I have never lost on Rails ( touch wood ) . I follow ( CP, CNR, UNP.US, CSX.US ,NSC.US, KSU.US ) ... Making charts is easy, but doing due diligence on six companies is a day's work for me ... I would like to shorten my list / which are your faves ? ... and do you feel this reversal in rails has legs ?

Q: Hi Peter & Team,
The current ongoing acquisition that Concordia is doing is suppose to be 35% accretive to earnings in the first year. I assume that number is being calculated after the new debt and dilution of shares (with the equity raise), cash payouts and senergies are all factured in?
What is CXR's adjusted EPS range, total revenue, total debt, cash position before and after the acquisition?
Do you have an idea historically how much lower an equity raise price for a stock like this would be compared to current price (percentage wise)? I assume this will be done fairly quickly in the next few weeks?

Thank you, Shane

Q: Hi Guys, please comment on the acquisition of World gaming by Cineplex and if it would be a good idea in your opinion to add to a 2 1/2 % position at this time. Many thanks for your words of wisdom and insight into investing. I could not be successful without it.

Q: Please comment on the CEO retirement. Given time, do you think our investment thesis is still valid.

Thank you!

Q: It is very interesting to me that Cineplex has bought WorldGaming. I can see theaters as being a venue for online gambling. What other reasons might Cineplex have for this purchase? Licenses? Software? Could this be serious competition to Amaya?

Q: Is the sudden departure of the CEO a negative or no big deal?

Q: I have a "tax" question for you.

I'm thinking of selling BTE with a $10,000 loss. I don't have any realized capital gains to offset the loss, and don't want to dispose of any of my gainers, but I don't want to carry the loss forward either.
So I'm wondering: Could I crystallize the equivalent in gains by selling BCE shares, for instance, and then buying them back immediately?

I'm aware that the superficial loss rules would come into play by not waiting 30 days, but that shouldn't be a concern with a stock like BCE.
I also realize that there may be a small cost involved with commissions and price spreads, but at the same time my ACB would be reset at the new BCE purchase price and may well save me some cap. gains taxes down the road.

What do you think?

Q: recently purchased this stock and now I notice 5i prefers AGU. should I switch or establsh a new position in AGu

Thank you.

Q: Hi guys,

I'm a Dow shareholder, and while I know your focus is not US, I was wondering if you could offer some clarity on the upcoming merger/sale of Dow's chlorine division with/to Olin Corp. The prospectus talks of exchanging Dow shares for "Splitco" shares, into Olin shares ...
Any clarity and advise you can offer is much appreciated.

Q: I originally bought these preferred shares for income. I knew that there was a risk if interest rates moved up, but I never envisioned the volatility that this stock would have this past year. If I am still investing for income, do you see the current stock price and high yield as an opportunity to buy more shares to improve my yield in my portfolio?
