Q: I have just been advised by my broker (Scotia iTrade) that the special dividend is for shareholders who tendered before Nov 15 and that my only option now is to wait to see what the final offer is. Or sell right now to the market. Which is preferred? You can be assured the final offer won't be $.40.

Q: Thank you for your prompt reply to my inquiry about Elkwater this morning. You certainly know how to run a business and offer great service!
Would you please explain what you mean by "expect the shares to settle down in price a bit" - does that mean at current levels or closer to the financing price?
Thanks again.

Q: I like CPG for a long term hold but am currently significantly under water due to the falling oil prices. I have Capital gains in other stocks that I would like to offset. I am considering selling CPG for the tax loss and buying it back 31 days later. In the meantime I will buy a energy ETF with the funds to protect me if oil rebounds in the short term. If all stays the same or worse, I will sell the ETF after 31 days and buy back CPG. Your thoughts?

Q: Canadian Banc Corp is an Investment Corporation
that invests in a diversified portfolio consisting of six
Canadian Banks. Two types of shares are available, a
Class A (BK) and a Preferred (BK.PR.A).

I have had class A shares for a few years and am very pleased. It seems to good great dividend and capital gains . I see the very low liquidity as a big problem. I believe you are not supportive of the structure and the fund.
Would you reduce as it is 6% of holding with no other bank exposure? what other red flags would you look out for.
thanks
Yossi

Q: Elkwater was highly recommended by a BNN guest around July 30th, when it was approximately seventy cents. It traded 12 million shares the next day and subsequently doubled due to the rights offering, giving the company a hefty market cap considering it had no deals signed.
Now, it's twenty cents and still trading heavily. Investors who bought in August have taken a big hit and the share price action seems a little unusual, to say the least.
Is it possible the .375 cent private placement will be re-priced or cancelled due to market conditions or is it a bought deal and completed?
Would you buy this company at current levels?
Thank you.
