Q: I have been waiting patiently for the carfinco deal to close and I am wondering if it is worth waiting or if I should move on to another holding that may offer more than the approximately 5.5% upside to the closing price of $11.25? What about the special dividend that has been mentioned? I have been considering a position in CXI as an alternative. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: You answered a question a couple of weeks ago stating that this was a good defensive stock. Is there still growth in it? I am kicking myself as I lost patience with it a year ago and sold - missing out on a 25% or so gain. Lesson learned. good entry point?

Q: Boston Pizza has done okay during the year that I have owned it, largely because of the dividend but I am wondering if a switch to MTY is in order. I like dividends and Boston's is certainly higher but MTY seems to be growing theirs and at the end of the day, I am looking for one that will achieve the higher overall return over the next few years. Is a switch in order?

I also own A & W and am very happy to keep it if you think that is a good combination with one of the others.

Thanks. Invaluable service.

Q: I’ve held MBT for many years. The income has more than offset any paper loss, so for me it’s a hold. Based on yesterday’s results, I was wondering what you saw that resulted in all the downgrading? Seems to me that they did OK. What am I missing or is this just another case of analysts/fund managers chasing each other’s tails?

Maybe a contrarian play? Allstream sale? Foreign takeover (Verizon)?

Q: Hello.

What are your thoughts on MBT's Feb 4 report on their full year results?

Any thought's on their new CEO and the following recent quote from the Globe and Mail:

'The new chief executive officer of Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. says he wanted the job because the company possesses several “hidden gems” he believes he can use to deliver a new wave of growth.'

Thanks, David.

Q: Do you have an opinion on XSI. Would an investment in this ETF fall more into "income investing" or might it be more a bet on the future rise of interest rates. In general, is it better to wait for the ETF to gain an experience before investing in it?

Q: Hello,

Peter touched on Pinetree Capital in response to a BNN Market Call question yesterday I believe. Peter mentioned a management change, is there a source with more details on this change? I have looked at PNP in the past but stayed far away as it holds some companies I short, Sphere 3D and Overland Storage (if I was smart I would have shorted PNP). I thought response yesterday of holding PNP as a play on recovery in juniors warrants looking into further and watching how PNP plays out going forward.

Q: Peter and Team,

The segment in the link here: http://www.bnn.ca/Video/player.aspx?vid=545085

Was shown on BNN today. It is on why Cineplex is a short. Agilith has been short and touting their short call (and getting gashed, by the way) for some time. I've owned the stock for a number of years now and like it and still like it but I am curious if you have any thoughts around their short thesis on Cineplex and their claim that the dividend isn't covered by cashflow.

Thanks,

Q: I own some ADW.A stock and have been considering adding to my position. From comments by one analyst, I understand that the value of some assets (e.g. land holdings) may not be reflected in the stock price. I value your opinion.

Thanks,

Q: Sgy has really come down since Nov. They had a fairly large hedge to price of oil --about 40% at $80 to $90. Are these hedges actually enforced or do they renegociate new prices which are not revealed. It seems hard to believe the share price of many stocks IF the hedge price is really used? Could you find out the hedge price used for stocks?
