Q: A question on BNN. Can you tell me if guests on BNN segments such as Market call are paid for their service? How about regular commentators such as Berman and McCreath? Just wondering. Thanks.

Q: With the breakup of JDSU soon, can you explain the right of debenture owners to convert to common stock although JDSU says it does not expect anyone will because the conversion price is $18 and change well above the price JDSU is trading at i.e. $12.50 or so. So what happens? Do debenture owners get paid out? Thanks.

Q: According to the charts in TD Broker, the PE multiple on this stock has doubled over the last 5 years(give or take) and the stock price has moved from $40 to $500. Do you think the value is too high even with the probability of more acquisitions? Do you find PE an important component to consider in a growth stock like this one? If so how important? Thank you

Q: Further to Larry's question on Hack, it appears Pure Funds only has 2 very unique funds at this time (albeit with plans to add more). Should one be wary of investing in a new fund provider, especially one offering a non traditional product line-up. I like the idea of the Hack fund but am somewhat wary of Pure Funds unless they have a proven prior track record in the industry? How much of a concern should this be?

Q: 5i often notes the % of equity held by insiders. What service do you use to obtain this information? If the answer is Bloomberg, can you suggest another solution, perhaps more accessible to your subscriber base, many of whom probably don't have access to its subscription service? Please provide options for Canadian, and US-listed equities, if you're able. Thanks for your continued fantastic work. Perhaps use Dorel Industries as an example?

Q: Peter; CXI sold a block of insider shares ( 159,000) to a institutional entity. Obviously because of the thin trading history - but would this indicate that somtime they will have to do a equity issue to put some liquidity in the stock. Do you have any idea who the buyer might be? Thanks.Rod

Q: Most (if not all) North American rail companies have pulled back in recent months, some are down ~20% from 2015 highs. Is this a good entry point for UNP.us? If you have a better suggestion [ CSX, NSC or other] I would appreciate your input. I would prefer a Canadian railway , but only if you think its future prospects are favorably comparable to one of the US ones. Thanks
UNP got my attention because of its rail connections with fast-growing Mexico.
