Q: I currently hold this Bond Fund. I'm looking to add a bit more fixed income. This fund is well below NAV right now, has declined about 2.8% in the last year (most of this in the last month or 2), but has a nice yield of close to 6%. I am up on the year by 3% which seems fine to me, considering savings accounts pay .05% these days. Should I add to this one or are there others that might grow a bit in this environment? It seems most of them are well below NAV at the moment. Thank you!

Q: By the time I saw the news this morning IOM had already been taken to the woodshed and beaten to a pulp. I literally went from a ~50% gain to a ~50% loss overnight.

Do you suggest sell now or hold and wait to see how bad the accounting issue is.?

Q: I checked out Trevali Mining at the PDAC conference this week and noticed that it has over 800 million shares outstanding. Do you think this is a concern in the sense that they might decide to consolidate at some point. Also could you provide the fully diluted number of shares as well as recent insider activity and overall ownership. Thanks.
