Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Carfinco (CFN). Apparently a "Mr. Hass" of Lightwater Partners recently noted on BNN that between March 15 and April 15 the short positions on CFN increased from 28k to 2.4mm shares. That coincided with a price move from $11.18 to $9.35. Can you please tell me what has happened with the short positions since April 15 and what the most recent shorts report indicates? Also please, any comments on the significance of the movements on the short side for CFN stock's prospects going forward? Thanks!

Q: Hi:
I bought HCG at around $ 52 recently, I understand that a group of people South of the border were shorting the stock, HCG fell from near $ 60 to the level where I bought it,
I am planning to hold it for at least 2 years to get the dividend
and hopefully enjoy abit of capital gain, do you think I should add more HCG at this stage ? Would it be a reasonable move?
Many thanks! have a good day

Q: MEQ, the owner/manager of apartments houses in western Canada, has hardly budged in this ongoing sector rotation out of dividend paying stocks. Well, it doesn't pay a dividend! Is MEQ like a canary whose ongoing health indicates there's nothing fundamentally wrong with real estate? What does this imply for real estate stock investment in coming months? Thank you.

Q: When looking at buying an individual stock, how much weight should be given to the P/E ratio? I read suggestions to look for stocks in the 10-15 range (like the Canadian banks), yet I also see Strong Buy recommendations for stocks with ratios well above this range e.g., Enbridge. I realize P/E is 'just one metric', but I'd to understand it's level of importance when evaluating a stock for possible purchase. Thanks in advance for your response.
