Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I have held WIN for for a long time and no matter how many deals they seem to sign the litigation costs seem to eat into any revenue gains. Is it time to move on to other opportunities?

thanks

Q: Hi Guys,

Everyone seems to love Element Financial (EFN). I was wondering if the reset (5 year bond + 4.71%) preferred share (EFN.PR.A) with a 6.6% dividend due in 2018 would make a good investment for the fixed income portion of my portfolio?

From 1 to 10 (10 very safe), how safe is my capital?

Thanks for the help.
John

Q: Mr. Schiff
Just a note on Mr Schiff, I had an account with Euro Pacific at the time of the tech bubble way back when, my stocks were going down hill by the hour, I called Euro and told them to sell the lot. I got a phone call from Peter asking me not to close the account assuring me this was a temporary thing I declined his advise and was very fortunate not to have followed it as most of the stocks tanked severely and some disappeared totally. Also another good reason for a diversified portfolio. I lost a lot but not everything. By the way 5i's advise has made and saved me money many times. Thx Gerry

Q: A question about bought deals: WEF just sold shares at $1.98 after a very large run- up in the previous three or four months. I had no forestry stocks, but I wonder whether the broker dealer network may have pumped the stock knowing they will get a piece of the action, in which case I'm probably paying too much and should have waited until the dust settles afterward.

I say this because I've bought into some REIT under-writings last spring, near the top.

Q: What is your opinion on IFabric IFA-X? Sounds like it has some interesting technology in manufacturing various types of clothing but not sure if this has translated in improved sales as yet. It was mentioned on BNN by Mr Smedley and got a 8% pop in the share price today.
Thank you

Q: Canexus CUS Not a question, just a show of frustration. I bought a small position in this company yesterday. Not blaming anyone but myself, however, I would have preferred wasting the money on Whiskey and Women.

Q: Hi Peter and gang, I would like your opinion of Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital. Especially his views of a financial future for the United States that falls somewhere between bad and terrible. I know that it is hard to contemplate an apocalypse but like they say, "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you."
