Q: From the Q&A, I think you are saying that BOS isn't an outright sell but rather a patient hold. Do you believe now is an opportunity to increase a position or has this one become a "wait and see" stock? The performance has really been disappointing.

Q: I have a question about Gamehost Inc . Stock price seems to have stabilized and pays a nice dividend so how do you feel about this stock for a riff portfolio that is interested in yield and can be patient to wait for growth? Is this a good time to buy or might there be a negative reaction when they report earnings.
Thanks
Maggie

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on BK (Canadian Banc Corp Cl.A). I understand you generally don't like split corps. However, I have been a long time holder and have done quite well with it. It is 2.3% of my largest portfolio but a smaller percentage overall. I have not found any previous questions on this company.
