Q: how is it that only days and weeks before announcing a Dutch auction, management and the company were buying large amounts of shares on the tsx? Is the not a prime example of insider trading before the puclic announcement? No wonder so many will not invest as it is not a level playing field!!!!

Q: Hello,
Is there anything unusual about the volume spike on Friday? I see we’ve had a few of these abnormal buying spikes in the past followed by a rally. Just wondering if there is any information on who may have been buying or why?
Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
I am thinking of starting a long term position in oil that is not small or mid cap. I was looking at Suncor since they seem to have a closed system in place from oil in the ground to the gas station (Petro-Canada). What is their payout ratio?
Are there other canadian oil majors that are comparable to suncor that are as stable?

Q: Looking BCI over as another way to play the aging population theme plus people are sitting around staring at screens most of the time, especially in the last 30 years (me too) and ruining their eyes.

Thank You once again

Q: Can I please get your opinion of Lin. What do you think about the merger between Praxair and Linde? Do you see this as a good long term investment? Would the 15% widtholding of the dividend apply in an RRSP, as I believe they moved their headquarters out of the USA?

Q: Hi,
I own BIP.UN shares and sold half of my position before they announced the acquisition of some assets from Enbridge as I thought they will come to equity market to raise capital. At present stock price is almost at the same level at which I sold. In comparison during the same time BBU.UN price has fallen from 58 to 48. Do you think its a good idea to invest that capital in BBU.UN rather than acquiring BIP.UN? Just to let you know I do hold ENB:T and ALA:T for income.
Thanks
