Q: Hi 5i - I have enjoyed the run up on WIN (now only down 6%) - I was considering taking the small loss and investing the cash in KXS (since its pulled back) - would you endorse the switch? I understand that KXS is still a risky investment, but sounds like a much better company overall? Thanks, Neil

Q: Hi folks,
I took a small position in Prometic Life Sciences when it was at $2.70. It's gone up quite a bit since then and I've been waiting for an opportunity to buy more. Considering doing that this week but am now looking at Concordia given the big drop today (I was considering before the possible buyout news but thought I'd missed my opportunity). Any information on the 9% drop today in CXR? Thoughts on taking a half position in each this week? I have no other pharma/medical positions so my exposure to the sector is limited and the positions would be relatively small. Thanks.

Q: Lately there have been stories about extremely wealthy Canadians taking their money offshore. Additionally, it is well known that large US corporations are domiciling in foreign countries to avoid paying taxes. I find that this anti-investing attitude becoming so pervasive among the very wealthy that I have to wonder why I should risk my hard earned cash, when these two groups seem to be protecting theirs and not reinvesting it. Please make the case why I should invest the 75% of my money now that is in cash ... frankly, I see nothing truly compelling in the markets these days.

Q: I read with interest your recent discussion of super stocks. Though they are notoriously difficult to identify and even harder not to sell prematurely, could you nonetheless provide a short list (e.g., 4 Canadian, 2 US) of "potential" super stocks with the understanding that there is little chance any will actually attain this lofty status.

Q: The BCE bid is at $40/share, but MBT is trading around $38 this morning. Is this as obvious as it looks for a quick buck? What are the risks involved and the chances the BCE bid does not go through? Do you see any potential for a higher bid, and who are the potential bidders?

Thank-you
