Q: ENW had recent announcement with a large vegetable producer which I thought would have moved the stock upward. Shortly after this announcement it signs an undertaking with Raymond James for funding to build the processing equipment. Any reason the stock would drop, rather than rise on what appears to be good news?

Q: Hello, I would like to know why the size of an etf seems to be a factor when 5I answers questions relating to etfs. My understanding is that regardless of its current size when a buy is initiated the fund provider just has to add the appropriate amount of units to satisfy the purchaser via buying the underlying stocks in the market. Does this create liquidity problems/a wider bid ask spread? Your comments, as always, would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: I currently hold shares in Coastal Energy (CEN). It just agreed to a $19 a share merger with Compaņia Espaņola de Petroleos. Would this be a good time to sell or would it be better to hold on for a higher share price when the deal is completed in 2014?

Q: Thanks for the good advice on keeping AAH after the merger was announced. Should I still hold AAH or better to go with with Mnw? When does the sale close?

Q: Hi,

I need your advice on this. At the current price of 8.72 per MNW share, AAH should be worth (6.52/0.957 cash + 3.6 MNW Shares * 8.72) $38.2 but it is trading at $37.05. Also if I hold 200 MNW shares for total cost of $1,744 and the price goes to $12 I will have $2400 or 37.6% gain but If I hold AAH instead, for the same $1,744 I get 47.07 shares which at the $12 MNW price would be worth $2,353 or a gain of 34.9%. Based on this after a certain price of MNW shares, it is better to hold MNW instead of AAH. Do you agree?

Q: With Sears SCC just having announced a special $5 dividend, would it not be a good time to buy at least for the short term? Any pitfalls that I'm not aware of?
Thanks
