Q: re. Athabasca Minerals (ABM)

What are your thoughts about the lengthy applic'n process to proceed with the development of the frac sand deposit? From your experience has this review process been excessively lengthy (at least 12 mos.)? Ultimately, however, is it a forgone conclusion that the project will be approved? To me this project is a "no-brainer" ... great deposit that is close to infrastructure, strong demand for the product and a mining process that is not any more disruptive to the environment than any of the current open-pit oil sand operations.

Thanks for your input. As usual, I value your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and team:

Tekmira (TKM) seems to have surged quite a bit. Do you know why and is this a buy at current prices? Also what is the news on CCT (catamaran)? Is it a buy at its current value?

THX, SS

Q: Hi, I'm looking to add either VDU and VUN or VTI:US and VXUS:US to my wife's position. She's diversified in Canada but looking for US and foreign exposure for the long haul. The difference between these two sets is one is Cdn and one is US - so essentially this is a currency hedge question. Do you have a preference for which set? Thank you.

Q: I am a new member and must say I really enjoy your site. My question is specifically on short positions on companies. Legacy (LEG) has 34 million shares short out of 157 million float or 21% shares shorted. Is this a high percentage for a company and should this be one of several factors to consider when making an investment decision? Thanks!
