Q: Peter,

What do you think will happen in the WND takeover story? BEP.UN has asked investors to vote for their 2.50 bid and the share price is hovering at 2.80. I have quite a lot of shares at the current market price. Is is safe to bet their would at least be a bid of 3 or more or should I trim down my holdings and buy something else.

Also, I got some good takeovers in June and July but as always I lost a lot my money on some gold and similar stocks in the Aug-Dec period and I am wondering what should I do going forward with a much smaller cash balance currently invested in PKI, BTE and CPG Options. Thanks for the advise.

Q: Good Afternoon Peter and Team,
My question is regarding Edleun Group Inc. (EDU-V). I have owned this stock for over a year with much much less than stellar results. Vision Capital Corp along with its Chairman (Frank Mayer) and CEO (Jeffrey Olin) own about 15% of the outstanding common shares. I know that you do not cover this company but what is your gut feeling with regard to a Joe Average like me continuing to hold this stock for eventual capital appreciation? Have you ever met Mr. Mayer or Mr. Olin or have you done any business with either of these gentlemen? I very much value your opinion. Thank you. DL

Q: Hi Peter and team I have been looking at Calian Technologies (CTY). Over the past 10 years It has steadily increased its dividend and showed a rather small fluctuation in the 2008-2009 market crash.No debt and quite a bit of cash but no publicity. What do you think of this one. Thanks

Q: Hello Peter - I am looking at Currency Exchange International (CXI.S) It has only been trading since roughly May of 2011 - very thinly traded and very few shares (only 3 million) It seems to be growing rapidly and in a relatively safe area of operation. They also have some warrants that might be a consideration. I cannot find a lot of information on the stock and would very much appreciate your thoughts.

Q: I am reviewing my oil and gas exposure and would appreciate your thoughts before repositioning. Generally speaking, what % of a portfolio should be allocated to the sector? There are many names I own or am interested in such as: CPG, TBE, PPY, BTE, LEG, VET, SU, ECA but I am also trying to respect the 20 stocks rule which is not easy. Can you please advise on which ones you would combine as core holdings (or other names to consider) to achieve a mix of stability, growth and income for the long term. Thank you!
