Q: I seem to recall that you covered Mart resources (MMT) in your early days but I don't see it listed on your most recent spreadsheet. Do you have a current opinion? The dividend is high and I wonder if you think it is especially risky.
Q: CAD (Colonial Coal) Last summer Desjardins suggested this met coal company with interests in northeast BC was a possible takeover candidate with a price target of $1.35 (since reduced to .95). Price then was .75 but has since dropped to the .35 range, which is just above tangible book. What is your view? Just another best-avoided penny stock, one to keep an eye on or worth a small position at this price?
Q: I currently hold CUD. As it is hedged to the Cdn$, and as I am concerned that the US$ will continue to strengthen, is there a fund that I can buy that tracks the dividend aristocrats in America but isn't hedged? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks
Q: Over the weekend I figured out that our broker, Edward Jones, has charged us $17,300 for the last 17 months trades plus fees on a RIF and two TFSAs, so we have to switch. Now looking at BMO InvestorLine and Scotia ITrade. Any thoughts?
Q: I own CFN and HLF - is it better to sell these after their very large price drops and buy DCI, Paladin or Constellation or just hang on and hope that CFN and HLF rebound. I am especially concerned about CFN after a recent 30% drop - is it more likely to drop another 30% or rebound back to its earlier price. Thanks for your advice.
Q: Hi again: Partners REIT (PAR.UN), as a shareholder (very modest amount) I'm getting calls at home regarding apparent opposition to the move to internalize management. In theory "internal" management is better alligned with shareholders' interests but presumably that new management also has to do at least as good a job of running things for that to bear fruit. Can you comment on the choice facing shareholders? Any idea who would lead an internal management team and whether they have a good reputation in the space? The stock has been under pressure since the announcement. Buying opportunity? Thanks!
Q: Hi folks: First question: Automodular (AM), earnings were about flat on slightly lower sales than same quarter 2012. Are there signs of growth potential elsewhere in their numbers/story or is this more of a valuation play?
Thanks!
Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
My question is about the uranium market generally. Rick Rule from Sprott USA was on BNN last week recommending Uranium Participation Corp (U- TSX) Memories of the terrible tragedy in Japan two years ago are slowly fading and if the Japanese economy picks up they will have to restart the nuclear plants that have been shut down there since 2011. Mr. Rule claims that the spot price of uranium will increase to $80/lb from the present $40. I would appreciate any insights that you could share. Thank you. DL
Q: US cash or Can cash? I have a fair amt of cash and it is mostly in Can currency. Would it be a good idea to switch some or all into US cash? I would be buying stock with it over next months. I find your answers very direct and concise. thanks. Helen
