Q: Regarding Sherritt (S-T), with it sitting at about $3 dollars, when does this company go from being a value stock to a value trap or is this the case already?
I know that this is a sum of the parts company, how does one play this, or should I give up and bail out?

Q: Constellation Software's (CSU) press release yesterday seemed to confirm that CSU may be undergoing a new growth phase which will see it take on very large deals through the utilization of stand alone debt financing. The stock price has moved up sharply and on high volume. I am wondering if this new strategy will attract a new class of large institutional shareholders? Many thanks, Peter
Q: I lost a lot of money on Apple when it fell from $640 but I sold at $540 and bought back in at $490 on the way back up. I think it is a GREAT company with solid earnings growth and a low P/E but the market has a hard time giving it the same kind of respect that it gives Google, Amazon, Twitter etc.
What do you think about the stock for the next year and what would make you sell it?
Thanks,
Ken

Q: HSCEI AUTOCALLABLE NOTES
I would appreciate your views and comments on these types of notes as I am having difficulty finding information on performance.
I am researching a Note- the HSCEI Autocallable Note. The note will be a 5 year note issued by xxxx bank and is linked to the HSCEI (China H Shares) index. It will have approximately an 8% coupon each year, will be callable each year if the index is flat or up from the issue level, have an approximate 30-35% downside principal protection and daily liquidity.
Example Outcomes:
The HSCEI Index is flat or up at the 1st anniversary date the note will be called and the total return will be 8%
The HSCEI Index is down on the 1st anniversary date the note will not be called and will extend to the next anniversary date
The HSCEI Index is flat or up on the second anniversary date the note will be called and the total return will be 16%
The HSCEI Index is down between 1-35% at final maturity your investment amount is returned
The HSCEI Index is down greater than 35% at final maturity the principal will be returned minus the amount by which the index is down.
Thank you.
Nadine

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Regarding Just Energy’s (JE) “sale” of Terra Grain Fuels, the debt reduction aspect looks positive, though only a relatively small percentage of JE’s total debt. Can you tell though what JE will be losing in cash flow or EBITDA associated with Terra’s operations? Does a loss of cash flow offset the debt reduction in this case or was Terra not significantly cash flow positive on a net basis to begin with? Does this transaction impact JE's "embedded margin" valuation on the balance sheet at all? What is your overall significance assessment? Thanks very much!

Q: My 2 cents on the brokerages: we dropped Questrade due to incompetent customer service, now use Virtual, itrade, and TD Waterhouse. I move $ around among the 3 but most is with TD as I like their research and tools best as well as full level 2 quote access and Globe Investor Gold which comes with President's Account. itrade is ok but has only limited level 2 for our level of assets. Sometimes access at Virtual can be down for the entire trading day, but their low low commissions atone for that.
I find it is handy to have multiple brokerages for IPO or secondary offerings such as the recent DHX issue. Virtual sold out immediately, TD didn't offer and I got a 50% fill at itrade. I hope this adds to the discussion, J.
