Q: Peter, what am i missing, in the national post stock picking contest mmt was your top pick, but when a few different people asked you a question in this forum on mmt, you were somewhat cautious saying you will have a report later in the year, there is country risk etc etc.,so what gives, why put it in national post as a top pick.

Q: Hi, I own shares in a number of renewable energy companies. Do you think sustained cheaper natural gas could be a long term threat to renewable energy projects and comanies (especially wind and solar) as a relatively green alternative/replacement, as new tech advances could keep nat gas prices low for some time and the market is quick to adapt. Thx.

Q: Hello Peter,
Just wondered if you have had a look at Mart Resources (MMT TSX-V) lately. Div of almost 14% & descent drill results. Not in the most stable part of the world, but the Co. looks promising. Buy, hold or sell ?
Thanks in anticipation.

Q: Peter and team. Thanks for your excellent work. Curious of your opinion on Ram Power (RPG). Any value down here at $0.20. Looks like they might need to raise more capital or do a deal with someone like Sprott Resource Lending but long term electrical power contracts have to be worth something. Is it worth a flyer here in your opinion? Thanks.

Q: I'd appreciate your thoughts on Western Wind Energy's (WND) announcement that they will be selling the company.
I was going to buy back into the company when it was trading in the low to mid $1.20's but with a busy job and a busy summer I forgot.
Now I see it shoot up and I am regretting my lack of attention. However I'm loath to chase it.
The previous offer was around $2.5 and WND wants that as the low end and WND's assessed value as the higher end.

Does a company have any bargaining power after they refuse an offer, the stock drops lower, and then they decide to sell?? I look forward to your comments.

Thank you for your recent blog - Don't Count Your Takeover Chickens too Early.

Q: Peter,
Am setting my 14 year old son up with an account so he can start learning and saving early. Room for only 2-3 stocks and he has to be able to understand the business. Thinking of a bank (TD or National), Brookfield Renewable, and a tech stock. Any recommendations on the tech side?
