Q: ERF Enerplus has done really well in the past year. I still expect quite a bit more due to their significant growth in production in the US. Question is the Ex-dividend date is Feb 3, the record date is Feb 5. What is the purpose of the ex-dividend date being different than the record date. Is it the record date that counts as to whom gets the dividend.

Q: Peter - It looks like this downturn in the markets may go on for sometime. I never knew that the chinese shadow banking system was worth $7 trillion dollars and now analysts are actively saying that it is only a matter of time before one of these banks goes under. That should be a real treat to the market. With Argentina etc. things look like it could be very nasty for awhile. I know you would say that we should hold tight but there must be a hedging system that we can use either with US or Canadian money to protect ourselves. What do you recommend as a strategy to protect ourselves.

Q: Hi Peter & Team

I am not well versed in advanced accountng & am an amateur investor. Could you please explain why Sales Force.Com (CRM) and Netsuite (N) on NYSE, stock prices keep rising even though their income statements show several years of Operating Losses. I thought the market punishes non-profitable companies.

Q: Why do you think IMAX is such an unloved stock? I tend to think of IMAX as a growth company as it's shifting more to the subscription model as it builds out it's theatres all around the world, including China.

Playing the devil's advocate, what kind of hiccups do you see potentially hitting IMAX in the future that will thwart it's expansion plans?

Q: PRE has been dropping, possibly on fears of the 2016 loss of its primary exploration block. Yet it has made some good moves, including acquiring Petrominerales for its diluents and infrastructure. Its 2014 guidance claims that it will "fully replace the Company's current net production from the Rubiales Field by 2016." Is this a buying opportunity, or is it better to wait until the uncertainty works out?

Q: In response to Larry's fx question, I call CIBC when I buy and sell u.s. Stocks on the same day and request the same exchange rate (ask for fx netting). Never had a problem they will easily oblige and save you the enormous bid ask spread they charge on fx. Hope this helps.

Q: Hi Peter

I sold some of my dogs recently in my RSP account and have $15-20K available...if you recommend any dividend stock (so sector agnostic) for an RSP for someone with 20 years, unfortunately, to retirement what would it be.

Thanks Peter.
