Q: Hi Peter,
My question is in regards to Rio Alto (RIO.TO). There were rumors
that its insider (CEO) sold 1.6 m shares that I am not able to check. This event caused the stock to decline by 15% on very high volume, that's quite a lot, I think. What is your opinion on RIO at this point please?
And also if you have an opinion on junior exploration gold Co Balmoral Resources (BAR.V) could you please share it with us. I am long the stock as I was impressed by excellent grades of gold they intersected in Quebec in August (up to 1.5 KILO/t). Do you feel BAR might be a takeover target (e.g. for Detour). I guess it is quite difficult to properly value a company at early exploration stage (?). Thank you, Mike

Q: Hi Peter,

SCS fell down a lot from 1Q 12 to now. They have properties in the right area and were in the process of being sold out at one point. They have positive cashflows a lot of drilling results pending. Do you think it is worth considering at the current price. Is there a lot of downside risk from current levels. Also is there a possibility of takeover? Thanks

Q: When are the next quarterly picks out for the National Post? My question is motivated by a 14 year old grand-daughter who is supposed to pick out some stocks that will appreciate in the next 3 months for her economics class. OF course she suggested that she needs something that will go up substantially in this short period . After I explained the difficulties of this market, and then reviewed all the things that might impact this time span. Most of my holdings are very long term, and except for a few much loved gold juniors.
I am not quite sure in which direction to aim her research. I have mentioned Vialoux and Equity Clock for a seasonal slant. Any research suggestions will be much appreciated and credited of course to you. 3 months is a very short time.

Q: I read your article on growth stocks and have been hearing other comments to similar effect by various strategists. (ie the new value stock). I recall your liking IWO on the NYSE. Would this still be a recommended way to play growth?

Q: hello Peter:
first, thanks for a very fine service, and I mean that to the entire staff (good commentary, easy to use web-site, etc). Regarding NPI (Northland Power - I am thinking of selling Trans Alta and would like to replace it with a utility. Already own some Brookfield. I note that in July, you answered M S and said that you hope to cover it later this year. Is this still the plan? If so, please disregard the question: I'll just wait. If not, you said "OK in this type of market". What did you mean there? And, this company has a great chart. Is it too good a chart? Or, is BEP/UN just a much better place to be?
thanks
