Q: Hello. New member here !
I bought WXM (First Asset Morningstar Canada Momentum Index ETF) last week. Good or bad idea ?

At the time I thought the purchase was (iffy) but did so on the basis that 5 insiders had bought a total o 118,272 shares at prices ranging between $6.78 t0 $8.49 during February and March. I am down on my investment and do you think I should sell or hold on? Thanks, Bill

Q: I seem to recall that you covered Mart resources (MMT) in your early days but I don't see it listed on your most recent spreadsheet. Do you have a current opinion? The dividend is high and I wonder if you think it is especially risky.

Thanks, Bob.

Q: CAD (Colonial Coal) Last summer Desjardins suggested this met coal company with interests in northeast BC was a possible takeover candidate with a price target of $1.35 (since reduced to .95). Price then was .75 but has since dropped to the .35 range, which is just above tangible book. What is your view? Just another best-avoided penny stock, one to keep an eye on or worth a small position at this price?

Q: I own CFN and HLF - is it better to sell these after their very large price drops and buy DCI, Paladin or Constellation or just hang on and hope that CFN and HLF rebound. I am especially concerned about CFN after a recent 30% drop - is it more likely to drop another 30% or rebound back to its earlier price. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi again: Partners REIT (PAR.UN), as a shareholder (very modest amount) I'm getting calls at home regarding apparent opposition to the move to internalize management. In theory "internal" management is better alligned with shareholders' interests but presumably that new management also has to do at least as good a job of running things for that to bear fruit. Can you comment on the choice facing shareholders? Any idea who would lead an internal management team and whether they have a good reputation in the space? The stock has been under pressure since the announcement. Buying opportunity? Thanks!

Q: Hi folks: First question: Automodular (AM), earnings were about flat on slightly lower sales than same quarter 2012. Are there signs of growth potential elsewhere in their numbers/story or is this more of a valuation play?
Thanks!
