Q: I currently have received my WCP shares in my brokerage account for the takeover of my VRN shares but I read as part of the takeover VRN would pay 1/3 of its quarterly dividend to shareholders for the April month. I can’t find what date this dividend will be paid to VRN shareholders. Can you please advise?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Good morning,

Q1. What are your thoughts on Strathacona Resources recent offer to purchase MEG?

Q2. Do you consider Strathacona's initial offer reasonable and what is the likelihood of MEG accepting Strathacona's initial offer?

Q3. What is the likelihood of another company joining the bid for MEG?

Q4. For holders of MEG, do you recommend selling on the news now and taking profits or waiting for a potentially better offer as MEG considers the current offer that may not be accepted and cause the MEG's stock price to drop back?

Thank you and I'll await your response.

Francesco

Q: My question is concerning the NYSE traded ETF MSTY as well as the MSTY.CA ETF. Mike Khouw recommended the NY traded ETF as not so much a play on Microstrategy as it is a play on the options trading volatility on that particular stock. Could you provide your analysis and opinion regarding this ETF. Could you also compare differences and similarities of the NYSE ETF and the
Canadian one. Lastly would you recommend either for an income focused investor? Thank you as always.

Q: Hey everyone, this 1b dollar company looks amazing to me. What am I missing? They have over 300 million in cash and are cash flow positive. This type of drug has been acknowledged recently as part of a drug regime that helps people with lupus nephritis its a calcinurin inhibitor.

How would you value this company? the market doesn’t like it even though it’s making 260million a year going forward with no debt. Is there an issue with the IP?

Q: Hi 5i,

I just watched CTV Vassy Kapelos's interview of Carney, and I highly suggest people search it out. It looks like our energy industry is doomed for another 4 years. Would you venture back into Canadian O&G after watching this? BTW this interview brings up Carney's views on climate from his "Values" book, not good.

Thx

Q: Currently I have an overweight position in energy, with full positions in CNQ, SU, TOU, ENB and half positions in TRP and WCP. Does it make sense to sell TRP at this time and take a full position in PPL? Does it make sense to hold both CNQ and SU or is there a significant correlation between the two, if so, which would you keep?

Q: You indicated in your answer to Warren's question that you feel the suggested buyout price for MEG Energy by Strathcona is too low. What do you think would be a reasonable offer, and what do you think MEG management would hold out for? Which companies might make an offer? Do you think the company will in fact be sold?

Q: Hi,
Just looking for your take on the Moody's downgrade and what we can expect as a market reaction. Still time to be 'buying the dip' so to speak, or does this add a different level of caution? What can we expect to see from US bonds, dollar and the overall sentiment towards it being the world's reserve currency? Lots of questions, feel fee to deduct extra credits! Always great to hear your thoughts - thank you!

Q: There are two stocks for this company NVDA.to and NVDA. One is on the US stock exchange and the other is the TSX. The difference in the stock price is more than just the US and Canadian exchange rate. Why is that? Is the stock on the TSX a B non voting share? Do you recommend buying this company and on which exchange?
