Q: Hi Peter, can you please provide an update on your thoughts about Student Transportation (STB) in light of the negative report issued by the Prescience Group. I have been quite happy holding it for a long time now and I can be quite comfortable with risk, if it appears that management is credible and up to the task. But this short-seller's report all but calls STB a Ponzi scheme and suggests a $2 target price. How credible is Prescience?

Q: Hi Peter

I have held STB since 2009. I reduced my position last summer as a result of a sudden sell-off in which my gains appeared to be rapidly disappearing. But I still hold a substantial amount. Now apparently there have been negative reports put out by short sellers leading to a rapid sell-off. Do you have any insight into the current situation? The company claims they are in a blackout period prior to release of year-end results so they can't make a detailed rebuttal.

Thanks

Ross

Q: What are your thoughts on why there are so many "board lot" trades taking place. It just doesn't seem to make sense trading 100 shares of a penny stock. Could this be some kind of an attempt to manipulate the market? This seems to be most prevalent in the junior gold stocks. Thanks

Q: I listened to Sherritt's Q2 conference call yesterday and was taken aback by their latest permitting hickup at Ambatovy: Operating Permit delay. How big of a concern do you believe this is and might it put the entire project at risk? Thank you for all the great work!

Q: Most of the equities portion of my investments is in broad based ETFs (Vanguard) Is there danger in being too diversified?
How would you allocate funds, by percentage, between Canada, US, Europe/Asia, Emerging. "Average" return,less small management fees,over time,looks good enough for me. Past experience picking stocks, either with or without paid advice, has so far yielded well below "average" returns.

Q: Hi Peter,

Recently heard in the news that PDN is a possible takeover target. What is your opinion on the company? Considering it is already a 1 billion market cap, do you think someone will come and buy at significant premium.

Q: Peter, your thoughts please on Precious Metals and Mining Trust MMP.UN, a portfolio managed by Sentry Select and consisting primarily of junior and intermediate gold, silver, metals and mineral companies. I have held this position in an RRSP for several years and have drawn a good income stream from it, but the stock price has been pounded for the past several months. I cannot find any analyst recommendation on it. Yield is now over 18% and pays monthly. Is the dividend safe? Should I continue to hold it or bite the bullet and move on? Thanks.
