Q: Peter, A question regarding book value. If a stock is below its book value say like CTU.A, could it not make it a wise investment longer term should one feel the future value of the company could rebound or be bought out? I'm not saying it will be, but trying to understand the roll of book value vs. share value when evaluating stocks. I guess RIM would be a similar case. Interested in your thoughts.

Q: re: Neptune (NTB on the TSX)

This company has been pumped for years, but seems to be developing a niche in the nascent nutraceutical krill oil market (offering strong competition to the huge and traditional fish oil
supplement market). It has however disappointed in the functional food market (no deal with Nestle or Yoplait, which were touted for years - and an anemic relationship, so far, with Bayer).

My question is (I am off the opinion that their nutraceutical business is a long-term winner) if their subsidiary Acasti does NOT prove successful in their clinical trials with their prospective pharmaceutical, Capre, what would the fair market value be of NTB shares likely be (the share price is pumping upward, as I type).

Thanks....

Q: Hi Peter. Is there a way for an individual small investor to "play" or take advantage of oil or natural gas as a commodity without having to purchase shares in a company. I was watching natural gas earlier this year when it dropped below $2 and figured it might be a buying opportunity but didn't know how to take advantage of it. Anything you can suggest will be helpfull, or should I avoid the sector entirely? Thanks in advance, Bo
