Q: I've looked on SEDAR for information on the purchase of Catamaran by United Health. Everything I've read gives the purchase price in US$. Nothing I've read says anything about the TSX-traded shares. Should I infer that, in the event the deal goes through, CA$-purchased shares would be exchanged for US$ - with a currency-conversion hit - such that it were preferable to journal one's holdings in a US$ account? Is there a general rule about this sort of thing? Thanks.

Q: Can you comment on the downgrade from RBC? I'm looking at building a position if the is more negative sentiment and if oil keeps rising since I think it will be temporary.

Also, looking to gain exposure to healthcare in Canada or the U.S. What would you recommend? Any value plays left with the hot run in the sector?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi,

Care to comment on RBC's downgrade of BIN? One of their main key points was BIN's significant footprint in energy producing locales and they feel that BIN could experience pricing and volume pressures as crude prices impact regional GDP. In your last response to a question on BIN you said,"We added it to the portfolios largely because of its leverage to lower oil prices, its US revenue (60%) and its largely recession-proof business." Do you think RBC's concerns about lower crude affecting pricing trump the benefits of cheaper transport costs? It would appear the market does, BIN down 5% today after not much volatility lately.

thanks.

Q: My question is regarding Foran Mining (FOM) .Since i last inquired about it almost 2 years ago it appears a lot of very good things have happened to the company.Especially this past week. Can you look through some of the releases and comment on them ? also, the stock seems to have very good inside ownership along with a very strong shareholder base.Would you also agree that having Pierre Lassonde owning %10 is a great vote of confidence in the project ? The Zinc sector sure appears to be ripening at a great pace on the LME and 2 large zinc mines have yet to close this year. IN your opinion is management able to execute what is best for FOM shareholders. Some results are pending but what are some of the options available to management at this point. i know this is a small and risky situation but i did get in early and look forward to your comments . thanx Norm

There is so much merger and acquisition going on in the US, I am wondering if this company may be a candidate for someone like Coke to pick up?
