Q: HNL,MRE: It seems that two money management cos.had prior info. on HNL's poor profit this quarter and they downgraded the company. This is further evidence that the retail investor is being played the goat.Don't you think the regulator should be on top of this immediately?
MRE has been going up in price recently. Any rumors floating around that you may have heard.
Thanks for your help and support.

Q: With the seemingly increasing scrutiny over crude being shipped via rail, could this have a negative impact on EFN's growth prospects? One of their largest growth areas seems to be in railcar leasing. On the topic, are there other companies that may be especially at risk due to this? I wouldn't be surprised if new regulations come in to limit the use of DOT-111. One article I read said that this could cause a large expense for leasing companies - if they need to upgrade their fleet.

Q: AAPL: Apple. Down 7% or so today. Icahn buys another $500 M. Is the market right or is Icahn right? I had been holding on to my Apple shares expecting better results. Is there another US stock with better potential (e.g. Qualcomm) for me to switch into or should patience rule the day for a while yet?

Thanks.

Q: ERF Enerplus has done really well in the past year. I still expect quite a bit more due to their significant growth in production in the US. Question is the Ex-dividend date is Feb 3, the record date is Feb 5. What is the purpose of the ex-dividend date being different than the record date. Is it the record date that counts as to whom gets the dividend.

Q: Peter - It looks like this downturn in the markets may go on for sometime. I never knew that the chinese shadow banking system was worth $7 trillion dollars and now analysts are actively saying that it is only a matter of time before one of these banks goes under. That should be a real treat to the market. With Argentina etc. things look like it could be very nasty for awhile. I know you would say that we should hold tight but there must be a hedging system that we can use either with US or Canadian money to protect ourselves. What do you recommend as a strategy to protect ourselves.

Q: Hi Peter & Team

I am not well versed in advanced accountng & am an amateur investor. Could you please explain why Sales Force.Com (CRM) and Netsuite (N) on NYSE, stock prices keep rising even though their income statements show several years of Operating Losses. I thought the market punishes non-profitable companies.

Q: Why do you think IMAX is such an unloved stock? I tend to think of IMAX as a growth company as it's shifting more to the subscription model as it builds out it's theatres all around the world, including China.

Playing the devil's advocate, what kind of hiccups do you see potentially hitting IMAX in the future that will thwart it's expansion plans?

Q: PRE has been dropping, possibly on fears of the 2016 loss of its primary exploration block. Yet it has made some good moves, including acquiring Petrominerales for its diluents and infrastructure. Its 2014 guidance claims that it will "fully replace the Company's current net production from the Rubiales Field by 2016." Is this a buying opportunity, or is it better to wait until the uncertainty works out?
