Investment Q&A

Q: I caught glimpse of your most recent Top Picks on BNN the other day via BNN's after-show email to me. I am puzzled why you choose to release your top picks to the general public first, and not to your subscribers at all? I had to hunt down your BNN top picks via another web site as I couldn't even find much recent info about them on 5iresearch.com

- have I missed something? :-(

Q: "Elkwater Resources Ltd. Announces Closing of Subscription Receipt Financing and Announces Flow-Through Financing Resulting in Aggregate Gross Proceeds of $100 Million". Is this going to drive share price lower again?

Q: Hi Peter & Team;

I have been looking at the Clarke Inc Company website, Sedar, and your site on this Company. I see a small investment mgmt Company with an ROE of around 30, 5 yr CAGR in the 40's, ttm diluted eps, just from continuing ops of $3/sh...total ca of $77M (close to $4/sh)...debt of only $2.7M...buying back shares...but a P/E of only about 3? Yes, the eps (continuing ops only) prior to the ttm was variable, and the portfolio is a dog's breakfast...but the new CEO seems to be cleaning up the portfolio. Shouldn't this stock command a little more respect than PE=3?
Q: Have (any of) you personally met the current CEO, and the Exec Chairman...and, if so, what is your opinion of them?
Q: In your opinion, is their a missing piece...or misfit, on the mgmt team?
Q: If you had to put an intrinsic value on CKI right now, what would that be?

Thanks for your input;

Q: Peter any news with RBI is this worth while getting into.

Thanks
Jim.

Q: Peter: On an attempt to buy 100 shares CNR I hit the wrong button & bought in NY with Cdn dollars. To sell now would mean taking a hit on the exchange rate. It has kept pace with the TSE since. Does NYC & TSE usually keep pace when stocks are on both exchanges? Please advise (All Thumbs) Thanks

Q: Wondring if you were going to update Amaya's report. A lot has changed since April. Cheers.

Q: I have held a one-third position in this ETF for a few months and am down 17%. Should I hold or sell and perhaps but First Quantum. It is my only stock in the metals/mining.

Q: What are our thoughts on Trinity's latest earnings? Your thoughts also regarding their recent trial loss and the fact that they have been ordered to mediation. Should I sell here and take my 25% loss? Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi Peter,
this is just a comment, yesterday i was sent a chart regarding the price of oil
in the last 5 years . if you have a chance look it up, i found it very interesting in that we have witnessed these low prices per barrel on several occasions.

Q: What has happened to ELK - Elkwater Resources

Q: Could you please comment what is going on with BDI.
Thanks, Zoran

Q: I realize you aren't crazy about this company but I'm wondering if you would recommend it for a short term hold given that it's really beaten up today.

Q: Were the HNL earnings bad enough to justify the big drop. Would you buy here?

Q: Hold CF and wondering with a long term view (5+years) would you recommend continue holding?

Q: How do you rate this company in terms of A&W and future prospects?

Q: Hello team - I see that FSV also trades in New York. Does their dividend payout get favourable tax treatment here in Canada? Is FSV a good buy now? It appears expensive.

Q: Hi Peter, first please let me say you are the best. I have been a member since day 1 and you and your team never disappoint. Thank you for this amazing service.
Could you please comment on wilan's earning? I am still hanging on waiting for this company to start moving up.

Q: I am looking at setting up an educational fund for our 1 year old grandson with an initial
5k investment. Are there any tax implications when an RESP is set up by a grandparent and if so, would an investment account in trust be more appropriate?
Either way, which holdings would you suggest I start with.

Thanks for taking the agony out of some these decisions!
