Your thoughts appreciated as is your fantastic service.

Q: Can you comment on earnings.

Can you comment on earnings please.

CPX is about 2% of my portfolio. I have owned it for about three years approx and I am up slightly on my investment plus the dividends of course.

Is there positive consensus that they will get sufficient compensation for closing coal plant early?

What is your current rating on the company? I am a buy and hold guy.

Thank you
Stephane

Q: HI Peter,
I have small positions in the three companies: ECI, ALA, and ACQ. I would like to reduce my holdings to two. I am looking for income and capital appreciation. I was thinking of selling Enercare and putting the proceeds to Altagas and leaving ACQ the way it is. Please advise. Thank you.

Q: Hi, I have shares in Peabody energy which filed chapter 11 earlier in the year. Once listed with the "Q" designation, the shares lingered in the $1.50 range for about six months until the past week where they sky rocketed to what it is currently at $13.50.

Do you have an idea what machinations cause a ch11 stock to go this high? Also should I take advantage of this pop and sell my existing shares?

I read that once a ch11 company climbs out of bankruptcy they can issue new shares making existing common shares worthless. Is it possible that peabody may not do this?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, I am very curious how bankruptcies work.

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi Peter and Team, Ken asked about GIC's for a not-for-profit. He may be able to get a higher rate using a simple savings account at Tangerine Bank since they have some "specials" that expire at the end of the year. Different clients receive different rates; my wife is getting 3%, and I'm getting 2.5%. I've also found that they'll "match" an offer from a competitor if you call them. These rates may be higher than GICs.

Q: Badger at $29 is expected to report Nov.15 with revenue projected at $109 MM vs
$111 for Q3 last year and EPS of 0.36 vs 0.49. Do you agree with these numbers and have you changed the opinion in your report last June that it was trading at a premium valuation when it was $7 less? This stock appears to have very good momentum and I'm very glad to have held it for the last 4+ years. Thanks, J.
