Q: Peter & team, I am curious of your opinion of TCS. I know it is a micro cap but it has had a strong move up in the last year and their #s look fairly good in my opinion and it pays a 2% dividend. Looks like it is garning some attention from some institutional investors. Do you think this could be a possible takeover canidate for a CSU or ESL? Thanks!

Q: Greetings Peter: Firstly, thank you for your great work and the prosperity it ha brought me.
Re: HLP.un - Healthlease. The split of the distribution is of somce conern to me. The Sept. distribution is made up of 25% is dividend; 64% is ROC, and 11% is interest credit.
The very large ROC indicates the EPS is just not happening at the present time. ROC in itself helps to transfer more dollars into the eventual capital gain column, which shaould be beneficial when stock is sold. Interest of course it as the high personal tax rate.
Your comments on future earnings and cash flow would be appreciated. thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,

I am concerned with my big position in SCS which has been coming down without any reason. I have asked a question about it before and you said that at two times annual cash flow the debt is not a problem. The company is making money and has half year cashfow of 22 cents. It has excellent locations with no country risk. I firmly believe it is excellent value at this point. However, you showed some concern on one of your other comments. Apart from the fact that it is small, what other risks do you see? Why would it go down even further from this point?

Thanks

Q: I hold some mutual funds MFC653 inside a self directed RRSP , but can't see where I've made any gains in the past 7-8 yrs. Also the MER is about 2.5%. Can you suggest an ETF that follows the resource sector but would lower my fees?
Really appreciate your blogs.

Q: John Wright, CEO of Petrobank (BPG) was on BNN today. Frances H. of BNN noted that PBG owns 57% of PBN and that when you subtract the market value of the BPN shares owned by BPG, that the rest of PBG almost comes for free. John (who is also CEO of PBN) said that in 4-5 quarters they planned to distribute all the PBN shares owned to PBG shareholders. This should then unlock the value in PBG and give PBG a pop. Would PBG be a reasonable speculative buy at current levels (assuming 1-1.5 year horizon)?
