Q: hello 5i:
I've read the one question there was on DNG, in October. Wonder if anything has changed for your outlook (I realize this is a very short time lag, but.......). Here's what I have read about them:
As an ore processor alone, Dynacor is a great value play. It is currently trading at less than 0.5x sales, with a ROE of 36.01%, a current P/E of 6.67, and trade roughly at the net market value right now. This translates into a very efficient use of current assets that generate a return far superior to many other avenues in which a retail investor can invest. It's also a growth story - Dynacor has increased its daily ore processing capabilities to 220t of ore per day, and is self-financing the expansion of another processing facility. That translates into at least 50,000 ounces of gold processed for 2012 (revised up to 58,000 this month), with the new facility increasing expected production up to 100,000 ounces of gold for 2014. Its latest month saw over 6,000 ounces of gold and 14,000 ounces of silver processed, for sales of over $10 million. If monthly production is maintained or increased, Dynacor is trading at a mere 0.3x sales and an annual net profit closer to $0.28/share with four quarters at current operations, leaving Dynacor trading at a forward P/E of roughly 4.3. In other words, dirt cheap.
Very interested in this company, particularly since you say management is very good. Your opinion please.

Q: Hi Peter,
What are your thoughts on Renegade Petroleum? Also, should one buy into Canadian Phoenix Resources or straight into Renegade as I do not really understand the deal between the two. Who would be the better buy if any. Tickers are RPL and CXP.
Thanks.

Q: Peter,

I am really perplexed with PSN. With one bad qurater, do you think their business model has completely failed. Is it because there were no barriers to entry in this area and others have jumped in and took it from under their nose. What about their present customers? The market seems to be discounting this as something which is not even going to be a 10 PE stock. Based on your earlier advice in a couple of the responses, you recommended holding the stock and not selling as there might be a year end rally after the tax loss selling is over. If the average price is around $4 is there still risk it might go to less than $3 or even more. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Q: WIN
WiLAN is getting smoked today as a result of its litigation update. The market appears to be treating the CAFC's ruling as a real game changer for the company. I am reluctant to sell my shares when they have dropped so much but yet the technicals look awful with the shares in a steady down trend with no end in sight. What is your expectation for this company in 2013 as a result of this recent announcement and pending patent litigation?

Q: With Loblaw'S (L-T)recent announcement of the conversion of their properties to a REIT I am finally making some money with them, about a 7% gain. I hesitate to sell because I think there is still good potential for further increases in their stock price due to the major changes that they are implementing in their stores including technological changes. What is your opinion. Thanks. (Gerry)

Q: ATP. The plus side to the significant drop in share price is the resulting increase in the % yield, now 10.3%. A very tempting buy here, but can the yield be considered safe?
Thank you.

Q: CWT.UN? My wife owns in her RRSP the conv. debenture-pd par-one more yr. left. She got a call from CIBC to ask her to convert to shares @$25.50 eac. Deb. pays 6.65% per yr. WE each own CWT as part of ETF XRE which we have owned for 4 years-so, I would think it makes sense to convert and sell to make a tax sheltered gain in RRSP? Your thoughts pl Peter. Thank you...JP

Q: With the announcement that CNOOC was being allowed to acquire Nexen, I would have expected the Nexen shares to move to CNOOC’s offer price of $27.50, but as of Monday afternoon, the shares high is $26.67. Why are the shares not trading at $27.50? That is the price I hope to sell at. Thanks … Cal
