Q: Hi 5iResearch,

Thank you for continuing to provide this Members Question service. I for one really appreciate this and is one of the reasons I've recently renewed my membership for another year.

My question today may be a bit outside of your universe of coverage being a stock in the US markets. I would like to know your opinion on Western Union (NYSE:WU). I see that it's taken a beating last October and it's slowly recovering. I've noticed that the Price-to-Earnings ratio is really low and the Return on Equity is really high, which suggests a great value play. Do you agree?

Q: Most impressed that you even answer questions on Saturdays and Sundays, that's true dedication! Gold is getting a lot of bad press these days, everything from death crosses to a "Gold Obit" from CIBC. If an investor was to take a contrarian position on this, I am interested in your thoughts on the Horizons Enhanced Income Gold ETF (HEP). It is showing a very high yield and a price close to its 52 week low. Thanks, Chuck

Q: Hi Peter, I too read with great interest your Saturday morning comments in National post about ZEN, Zenyatta. I liked you comments on it but your last paragraph mentions "Still, it takes just one super stock to change your portfolio forever. We sincerely doubt it is going to be one of the ones mentioned above, but we’ll keep watching while looking for better possibilities". Can you please expand on this comment as I have 20% of my portfolio in ZEN and I am up over 400%. I have done a lot of research on this company along with the Vein graphite and the numbers I come up with are looking like another Aurelian.

Q: Any comments on BTO.to at this price level? It doesn't make sense the sell off in gold with all the debt that global governments have and the policy to just print money. Any other gold stocks you would recommend with the latest sell off because I plan to buy gold stocks this week to take advantage of the sell off. I am thinking of buying OSK,AEM or G and sgn.v. Thanks for your guidance it is very helpful. Keep up the great work!

Q: AAB: Aberdeen International. One of this company's recent press releases indicates a value of .83 cents per share, but the company is trading at .33 cents. There were so many qualifiers regarding the calculation of the .83 cent value that I am confused. Is this "smoke and mirrors" on their part?
Would you consider buying in view of AAB's holdings and dividend payments of ~ 5.7% and a Globe and Mail 4 Star rating? Thanks.

Q: HEP or PME. If you were to buy one of these gold investments, which one would you choose? Both have high dividend yields, although PME is a bit higher. Any significant difference in the "safety" of the dividend.
This would be a long term hold. Does one of these have better upside potential?

Thanks.
