Q: Hi Peter,
Do you know why Canfor pulp CFP is trading so much better than its dividend paying CFX? This has fallen alot. Is there a fear of a dividend cut or is CFX perhaps a good buy at these levels? Thanks so much Janis

Q: Hi Peter, can you please provide an update on your thoughts about Student Transportation (STB) in light of the negative report issued by the Prescience Group. I have been quite happy holding it for a long time now and I can be quite comfortable with risk, if it appears that management is credible and up to the task. But this short-seller's report all but calls STB a Ponzi scheme and suggests a $2 target price. How credible is Prescience?

Q: Hi Peter

I have held STB since 2009. I reduced my position last summer as a result of a sudden sell-off in which my gains appeared to be rapidly disappearing. But I still hold a substantial amount. Now apparently there have been negative reports put out by short sellers leading to a rapid sell-off. Do you have any insight into the current situation? The company claims they are in a blackout period prior to release of year-end results so they can't make a detailed rebuttal.

Thanks

Ross

Q: What are your thoughts on why there are so many "board lot" trades taking place. It just doesn't seem to make sense trading 100 shares of a penny stock. Could this be some kind of an attempt to manipulate the market? This seems to be most prevalent in the junior gold stocks. Thanks

Q: I listened to Sherritt's Q2 conference call yesterday and was taken aback by their latest permitting hickup at Ambatovy: Operating Permit delay. How big of a concern do you believe this is and might it put the entire project at risk? Thank you for all the great work!

Q: Most of the equities portion of my investments is in broad based ETFs (Vanguard) Is there danger in being too diversified?
How would you allocate funds, by percentage, between Canada, US, Europe/Asia, Emerging. "Average" return,less small management fees,over time,looks good enough for me. Past experience picking stocks, either with or without paid advice, has so far yielded well below "average" returns.
