Investment Q&A

Q: interested in your take on Woulfe WOF . Warren Buffet apparently is doing a JV deal through IMC with WOF. IMC's D&D is complete but waiting for announcement on financing.
Any insight?

Q: Can I please get your comments on CSU's quarterly results, in particular any areas of potential concern. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter. I recently bought a small position in SB Safe Bulkers which trades on the NYSE. The financials look fine to me and I thought it a good yield play but the share price has not performed well in the last 3 months. I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks John

Q: Now that Passport Potash (PPI) has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of North American Potash Developments for cash and shares ($2.7 million left to be paid and 525K shares left to provide) will the company definitely need to do financing?

Also is it normal for an agreement to talk about "bonus" money paid to a company (North American Potash) in the event PPI transfers/sells to someone else?

3.9 million tonnes of measured KCl. Sells for about $400 a tonne. That's $1.5 billion. About 172 million shares. So about $8/share.
Indicated is 37 million tonnes, or about a 10x increase in above values.

What are the errors/dangers in thinking/calculating this way?
Even with share dilution from financing, at 20 cents this seems like an undervalued company?

Thank you for your time.

Q: Hello, I have shares in McEwen Mining Inc. MUX, they had a news release last week as follows:

"we conducting two concurrent rights offerings because we have two classes of shares: common shares of McEwen Mining ("Common Shares"); and shares of Exchange Co. that are exchangeable on a 1-for-1 basis into Common Shares ("Exchangeable Shares"). The Rights Offerings will provide that holders of Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares will participate on an equal and proportional basis with other holders of the same class of shares in purchasing additional shares of the same class of shares at a considerable discount to the current listed price."

Should I subscribe to this? Please explain?

Thank you very much.

Q: What are your thoughts on Sherritt's (S) latest quarterly results? Also, there is no mention of a conference call to discuss the results. How will analysts react tos this?

Q: Hey, guys. When a parent company plans on selling a smaller company it has a controlling position in on the open market, or spinning out the smaller company's shares to its shareholders (ie pbg and pbn), would it make sense for that parent company's management to first privately solicit offers for that smaller company?

I took what I want to be a long term position in mic this morning on the earnings and increased dividend news. However I'm wondering if my tenure as a shareholder in mic could be curtailed by genworth financial looking to unlock the value in genworth canada by putting the company up for sale.

Your insights are appreciated as always.

Q: My question is on LEG - legecy oil again. They just released some drill activity - which seems positive - however, I am always skeptic about these NR as they can 'spin' the results. They will be reporting their financials on Nov. 8th - without asking to much from you - in terms of you educating me - what should I be looking for? How do I access the results? This stock was $12 this year.....trying to understand if it can acheive this level again (as you know Eric N. from sprott - sure thinks so....this is one of his top pick's)

Q: Hi Peter: I'd like your opinion about Yangarra Resources (YGR). From their 2012 2nd quarter reports, their net income has gone from a 1st quarter loss of almost a million$ to a 2nd Quarter gain of over 6 million$ (before tax), but their shares keep slip-slidin' away. Thanks for any input.

Q: Mart Resources has stated that the pipeline deal is done and just waiting for signatures. The umu 10 well is being tested and results could be in the next 4-6 weeks I would guess. Would you think these events will have a substantial impact on the share price or not since it is a year before we will be able to get the increased flow rates? Is the good news already baked in ? Can you explain how the lost oil is really being stolen. Partners, Nigerian government? Thanks very much.

Q: How would you rate Canadian Western bank for a buy at this time? Thank you.

Q: Any thought of publishing another list of rated ETFs? Or maybe just the ETFs you (your team) approve of.

Q: Hi Peter.My question is on uranium. This industry has fallen out of favour and with prices continueing to decline,do you see any hope for a recovery ? If you do is there any names that may be attractive to look at?

Q: Hi Peter: What is your opinion of EFL on the TSE? Is there any long-term value in that stock? Thanks.
