Q: Many moons ago I had bought Azarga Uranium's predecessor before it tanked and became Azarga! I had hoped it would have been taken over by a Big player like Cameco. This didn't happen. This is before Fukushima disaster I think. It is now worth 18-35 cents a share. (52 week range)
They announced their ? merger with URZ an energy company. Worth buying AZZ or URZ? I am fully aware that this is completely a speculative buy!
Taking a small position is NOT going to impact on my overall portfolio positions and my retirement. I am fully aware that this is not a strategy that you generally recommend! However I pose this question b/c "out west" ( aka Vancouver exchange) ) some of the companies seem to go through sudden surges when they assume new identity! I had witnessed this during dot com bubble!!
Many thanks.

Q: I am intrigued with Alcanna. However, Scotia has EPS expectations of only 15cents for F2019 leaving it's current forward PE at above 60. It also have negative cash flow which means they are funding the dividend by debt. What are your expectations? Is the valuation pricing in growth from renos and cannabis past F2019. I can't seem to convince myself that holding this through 2019 is worth it especially at this valuation. Please give me your thoughts and provide buy-side analysis. Thanks.

Q: Hello Folks:
My only health care stock is a 7% weighting of JNJ. I am considering adding UNH... would you think this prudent with this stock’s PE at 23%. What is your view on JNJ; would it be reasonable to fund a UNH purchase by selling some JNJ or would you use other money?
Thanks again for your “most valuable service”!

Q: Hi guys, love the service thanks!
Looking at a long term hold of 15-20 years , growth and dividend , but not really risky. I suspect all 3 are good, do you have a particular favourite? Or perhaps a better recomendation?

Q: What are your thoughts on Andrew Peller's quarterly report? There always seems to be one quarter a year where the company posts negative earnings. Does this quarter's report raise any alarms or does it appear to be business as usual for Andrew Peller?

Thanks for your help.
