Q: Peter; After AVO today I think you should have a new category “TAKEOVER SCORE BOX”. I’ve been a member since 2012 and I’ve lost track of the number of ones I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in. Thank you again.
Post if you wish.

Q: What are thoughts of Peyto at this time? Is it bit of a value trap or would this be a good long term hold?

Obviously the momentum is negative, but I often find the moves more extreme than reality and can be opportunities.

Cheers.

Q: I have been administering a 7 figure + portfolio for a good friend. At Christmas he asked me to liquidate $1M as he was feeling nervous. Given the events of last week it may have been a prescient call! In any case I am charged with finding a good short term home for the money and thus have been delving deeper into the fixed income world. There I have encountered "Bankers Acceptances." May I have your views?

Q: I note you think the offer for AVO is modest but the text I have suggests the deal has been done. So is this the case or is there the potential for another higher offer? I also note that the volume of shares sold so far is quite light which might indicate most people think there could be another offer or that the price is low?

Q: In response to Donald, it appears ok to pay RRSP fees outside the RRSP as of right now. However, the CRA is currently reviewing this rule and says that may no longer be the case as of January 1, 2019. A Google search of "rrsp fees paid outside rrsp" will bring up many discussions on this topic.
