If you are so kind would you please post the direct link.
Thanks

Q: I currently hold the 5.75% convertible debentures from Healthlease Properties and I am confused as to how today’s takeover announcement affects the debentures. My understanding is that holders can convert the debentures into shares at $14.00 (which is almost in-line with the takeover price) or they may be purchased back by Health Care at 101%. Both options offer only a very tiny premium yet the debentures are trading higher on the news (right now at $105). I am inclined to sell now for the current premium unless there is something I don’t understand. Does selling now to take advantage of the uptick on this news make sense?
Q: Hi
I am holding HLP.UN which has received an offer for $14.20.
It is currently trading for $14.23. Is there any possible benefit to waiting for the transaction to occur or would I be better to sell the units today? Thanks!
Badger Daylighting is getting smashed today following its earnings report but too me the market reaction seems way overblown. The only bad thing I can see in there is that margins decreased but it was for, what seems to me, good reason in the US and for something that seems out of the company's control in Canada.
Your thoughts on what to do with the stock from here? Forgetting the dividend, I was up about 18% or so and am now down 1% on it in a day. My tendancy is to continue to hold as I like this company and idea long term but maybe I'm too stuborn?
Q: Hi Folks:
I notice that ET is in your Income Portfolio but there is no report on it on your site. It has an ROE of 19% and a decent yield. Any bad news that we should know about?
Charles
Could we have your assessment of Badger's numbers this morning. The market is not impressed, but would you see the reaction as overdone or appropriate. What are your thoughts as a holding going forward.
Q: Hi there,
Would you consider NFI, New Flyer, a reasonable buy. It looks like it had another solid quarter.
A good divy but seems a bit expensive at over 20X earnings?
Thanks,
Harry
Q: Hi 5I, my question is regarding PHM - Patient Home Monitoring. at present it doesn't seem to get much coverage but appears to possibly have great potential. can i have your opinion regarding this stock including current management quality, future growth prospects, any red flags etc. thanx norm
Q: KFS
I have kingsway in my RRSP. I have been slowly changing my rrsp account to more resemble the model portfolio. KFS has had a good year should i keep it or sell it.
Q: Do you think TRW.US is worth holding weather the takeover goes through or not. I'm looking for more growth in my RRSP. My thoughts are to sell and buy DIS or UA as these stocks seem to be growing well. Or just hold my position. Your thoughts. Thank you for the great service.
Q: Would a portfolio of high quality Canadian preferred shares be suitable for a senior? The senior is 80, does not need the income, does not expect to need the funds within 5 years, but is looking for higher yield (vs GICs), with limited downside risk (in case any funds are required). Possible companies: Loblaw, Fortis, TransCanada, etc.
One concern is interest rates: if rates increase (e.g. over 5-10 years), is there significant risk that the stock price will decrease (i.e. similar to a bond)?
Could you do a comparison of Altagas and Keyera in terms of valuation and future overall prospects. I currently hold Interpipe and Enbridge. All things being equal, would you add either ALA or KEY or would you see this as being duplication.
