Q: GWR - Would you have any further information on GWR than a year ago? It is thinly traded but there seems to be some demand/interest lately. I own a small amount and would like your opinion as to holding on to see how this plays out as their year end nears. I concur and join with the many accolades sent to you.
Many Thanks, Gayle

Q: I was under the impression that the price of convertible debentures followed that of their common stocks but in reviewing a number of convertible debentures that will mature by the end of 2014, I find that is not always the case. For example, EIF.DB.A, PKI.DB, NPI.DB, and IBG.DB all followed their common stock prices very closely (down); ATP.DB and CHR.DB held their values well while their common stock prices plunged; while PGF.DB.A and AFN.DB remained flat or fell gradually while their common stocks soared. What are the factors that impact this apparently irregular behaviour? I look forward, as always, to your reply. Thanks.

Q: Happy New Year 5I team. Dec 20 you answered a question indicating that TRN was your preferred stock in the sector. About 5% of my portfolio is in CSX as part of a 25% diversified US investment. NSC, a more recent purchase, makes up 3%. Would it make sense at this time to take my profit(about 25%)on CSX and reinvest the funds in TRN?

Q: The uranium sector seems to be moving up a bit and I would like to start accumulating in the sector. Everyone agrees we are going into a mining supply issue and with the Russian weapons supply having stopped I don't see how the price can not go up. What would be your suggestions in the sector.
Would be nice if members could search questions by a key word (like uranium).
Hope you had a good holiday and Thanks for the wonderful service you provide.

Q: Hi Peter
Happy New Year I would like to add a beverage or liquor stock to replace DEO which I sold. Would you recommend Corbys for income and some potential capital gain or Ambev as a better large cap. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter. I posted this on comments, but then realized you likely don't comment on comments. I lost 15K almost over night with Poseidon. Were there signs of this coming that I missed, or was it unavoidable?
Thanks.
