Q: I have a question regarding CEFL.US, which is a 2X leveraged fund of funds product created by UBS. If I buy this in a taxable account, is it your belief that a 35% foreign withholding tax would have to be paid? I think that withholding tax would have to be paid on it's cousin BDCL.US because it has MLPs as its consituents, but I'm not sure about the former. I know you guys aren't accountants but I thought maybe you would know. thx

Q: Peter:
Caldwell Partners International (TSX: CWL) released Q3 after the market closed today and the results appear to be very strong. Do you think the stock still has lots of upside from its current trading price of $1.24 for small cap investors?

Q: I have some cash in my U.S. account that I want to put to work towards a high yielding stock that trades in the states. Was going to buy ORAN ADR on NYSE, however, judging from response to a previous members question on it, I would be better off investing in another company. I am looking at BLX on the NYSE. Do you have any suggestion for company with gooder outlook and possibly a higher yield?

Q: Hi there, I was wondering if a product like "TD Inv Sav Acct TDB8150" would be considered a "deposit" in the event of a bank bail in? Is it covered under the $100,000 bank deposit insurance provision? If it would be taken in a bail in, where else can one hide cash?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter & team,
Just want your thoughts on Raging River Exploration (RXX) At the moment. Do you feel as if this is a good entry point after the recent pullback or is it worth waiting to see how it will play out in the coming days.

Q: Hi 5i: Exchange Income Corp (EIF) – It is difficult for investors to size up these negative/”short’s” reports. Many people will remember Muddy Waters’ report on Sino Forest and the subsequent disintegration of that company.
About 2 years ago Prescience Group issued a report on Student Transportation (STB), claiming that the company was effectively a Ponzi scheme, that the dividend was unsustainable, and that the intrinsic value of the stock was about $2 per share. STB dropped from 7.38 to $5.71 (intraday levels) in a little more than a week, largely on the strength of the report. Since then $5.71 has become the 2.5-year low for STB, which has made its “unsustainable dividend” payments, without reduction or interruption, for 24 consecutive months. STB shares have spent most of the past year on an upward trend between $6 and $7, although they have popped above the $7 level on a couple of occasions. The dividend yield with STB at $7 is still nearly 8%. Not bad for a stock that was supposedly worth a toonie a share!
So back to EIF, here we go again. What are we to make of Veritas Research’s disembowelling of EIF? Does this put the company’s recent management “expansion” and reshuffling in a different light? Would you be significantly concerned about EIF’s convertible debentures (especially the G series, which you seemed positive on in a previous comment)? Thanks!

Q: This may very well be outside you area of focus, however thought I would still ask as I respect your opinion on equities.
Contra the Heard was on BNN yesterday with three very small US bank recommendations and a previous small bank recommendation. I am starting my due diligence and chart work. Any thoughts you may or may not have would be appreciated.
The stocks in question are FUNC, MCBC, CACB, BUSE.
