Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Regarding Just Energy’s (JE) “sale” of Terra Grain Fuels, the debt reduction aspect looks positive, though only a relatively small percentage of JE’s total debt. Can you tell though what JE will be losing in cash flow or EBITDA associated with Terra’s operations? Does a loss of cash flow offset the debt reduction in this case or was Terra not significantly cash flow positive on a net basis to begin with? Does this transaction impact JE's "embedded margin" valuation on the balance sheet at all? What is your overall significance assessment? Thanks very much!

Q: My 2 cents on the brokerages: we dropped Questrade due to incompetent customer service, now use Virtual, itrade, and TD Waterhouse. I move $ around among the 3 but most is with TD as I like their research and tools best as well as full level 2 quote access and Globe Investor Gold which comes with President's Account. itrade is ok but has only limited level 2 for our level of assets. Sometimes access at Virtual can be down for the entire trading day, but their low low commissions atone for that.

I find it is handy to have multiple brokerages for IPO or secondary offerings such as the recent DHX issue. Virtual sold out immediately, TD didn't offer and I got a 50% fill at itrade. I hope this adds to the discussion, J.

Q: http://orbiteforum.com/index.php?topic=317.0#new
Mr. Hodson, further to my question on Orbite Aluminae (ORT, December 11, 2013), I just discovered Orbite's management and some directors (including Claude Lamoureux) just put substantial skin in the game (See above reference on recent insider activity). How significant does this appear in the current circumstances ?

Q: For Paul re Brokers. I switched from TD to RBC direct last summer to avoid the forex fees on my US stock dividends in my RRSP. RBC lets you hold the US stocks in US dollars and does not force you to convert the dividends to US as does TD. Saves quite a bit of money for me and I am no longer angry every time I see the div's come in and get converted. TD has been telling me for 3 years they will "soon" allow US dollars to be held in their RRSP accounts but it still has not happened.
