Q: Hi Peter and staff. May I please have your take on XSR. It has been steadily sliding from 10+ down to 7. Valuation seems crazy stretched and I don't understand borrowing to pay a special dividend, if I have that right. I'm still in the black but thinking of moving on.

Thanks

Q: I have many of your growth companies, and they are doing well, so thank you. I would like to move some money into value stocks at this time. Aside from financials and energy, which I have a fair bit of, could you recommend some value stocks that you are familiar with, or a value ETF that you would recommend. Thanks for the great service.

Q: I have an unrealized capital loss on Canexus (CUS), with an ACB of $8.90. Do you see any hope with this company? I see recent reports from analysts suggesting they should sell the infrustructure assets. Should I patiently collect the dividend or capture my loss and move on.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and staff

What is you opinion on the big swing in share price of Mart Resources MMT on Tuesday? The deferment of the dividend obviously caught many by surprise and more than offset the news that the alternate pipeline was virtually complete. They hint that they may reinstitute a dividend depending several factors. I have held this stock for some time and there has always been the promise of some future catalyst to keep me involved. Now they say they are also bidding on additional oil reserves. My gut says to hold a bit longer but as always I value your insight

Q: Hello Peter & Co.
Tip of the hat to you guys for having responded to one of my questions on a Sunday; don't you take a break?
My wife's RRIF (portfolio of 11 stocks) has CGI as the only tech exposure; I know it is one of your least favourites. Which of CSU, DSG, ESL, MDA, OTC, SYZ, ET would be a good replacement?
Thanks
Tony

Q: Peter and team, RE: Mart Resources MMT.
could today's meteoric rise means that insiders are optimistic about the company moving past its operational issues? is MMT a possible take-over target? Or is the crisis in Iraq causing prices for oil to spike in the region and MMT is benefiting?

Q: Hi: In the Tech sector I currently have CSU and MDA at 3% each, and ESL,GIB,OTC and DH at 1.5% each or 12% of my total portfolio in Tech stocks. I am thinking of selling one to reduce the number of stocks, while buying more of some of the remaining stocks. Perhaps to increase my overall tech exposure as well.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Also, do you consider AYA to be a Tech stock or a Consumer stock assuming the acquisition goes through.

Q: Good Morning,
I recently came into $23k US which is pure investment money. I do not need it for anything else. I would like to keep it in US funds. Are there any screaming buys out there for growth and/or income that I could park the money and watch it grow?
Thanks,
Rick
