Q: Hi Peter,

I am liking the takeover frenzy in the market these days and I liked your article about booking profits while the takeover rumours are still alive. I lost some money in Avon expecting it to be taken over however I made many times more in Miranda.

My question is on a few companies that might have some takeover winds blowing. Specifically what do you think about OCQ which produces SSD drives, BBY and XRC which is in the gold sector with the lowest value per ounce in the ground 76 cents in cash, and 30 million or so gold resources trading at only 1.40.

Thanks

Imtiaz

Q: Peter, what am i missing, in the national post stock picking contest mmt was your top pick, but when a few different people asked you a question in this forum on mmt, you were somewhat cautious saying you will have a report later in the year, there is country risk etc etc.,so what gives, why put it in national post as a top pick.

Q: Hi, I own shares in a number of renewable energy companies. Do you think sustained cheaper natural gas could be a long term threat to renewable energy projects and comanies (especially wind and solar) as a relatively green alternative/replacement, as new tech advances could keep nat gas prices low for some time and the market is quick to adapt. Thx.

Q: Hello Peter,
Just wondered if you have had a look at Mart Resources (MMT TSX-V) lately. Div of almost 14% & descent drill results. Not in the most stable part of the world, but the Co. looks promising. Buy, hold or sell ?
Thanks in anticipation.

Q: Peter and team. Thanks for your excellent work. Curious of your opinion on Ram Power (RPG). Any value down here at $0.20. Looks like they might need to raise more capital or do a deal with someone like Sprott Resource Lending but long term electrical power contracts have to be worth something. Is it worth a flyer here in your opinion? Thanks.

Q: I'd appreciate your thoughts on Western Wind Energy's (WND) announcement that they will be selling the company.
I was going to buy back into the company when it was trading in the low to mid $1.20's but with a busy job and a busy summer I forgot.
Now I see it shoot up and I am regretting my lack of attention. However I'm loath to chase it.
The previous offer was around $2.5 and WND wants that as the low end and WND's assessed value as the higher end.

Does a company have any bargaining power after they refuse an offer, the stock drops lower, and then they decide to sell?? I look forward to your comments.

Thank you for your recent blog - Don't Count Your Takeover Chickens too Early.

Q: Peter,
Am setting my 14 year old son up with an account so he can start learning and saving early. Room for only 2-3 stocks and he has to be able to understand the business. Thinking of a bank (TD or National), Brookfield Renewable, and a tech stock. Any recommendations on the tech side?
