Q: I've looked on SEDAR for information on the purchase of Catamaran by United Health. Everything I've read gives the purchase price in US$. Nothing I've read says anything about the TSX-traded shares. Should I infer that, in the event the deal goes through, CA$-purchased shares would be exchanged for US$ - with a currency-conversion hit - such that it were preferable to journal one's holdings in a US$ account? Is there a general rule about this sort of thing? Thanks.

Q: I hold these etf's strictly for income purposes. Could you give your thoughts on XHY and CHB and the effect that rising interest rates in the USA could have on them.

Q: Hello Peter & team, Any reason you know why BIN has been dropping for over a week? Thank you!

Q: Can you comment on the downgrade from RBC? I'm looking at building a position if the is more negative sentiment and if oil keeps rising since I think it will be temporary.

Also, looking to gain exposure to healthcare in Canada or the U.S. What would you recommend? Any value plays left with the hot run in the sector?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Good time to step into bin?

Q: Hi,

Care to comment on RBC's downgrade of BIN? One of their main key points was BIN's significant footprint in energy producing locales and they feel that BIN could experience pricing and volume pressures as crude prices impact regional GDP. In your last response to a question on BIN you said,"We added it to the portfolios largely because of its leverage to lower oil prices, its US revenue (60%) and its largely recession-proof business." Do you think RBC's concerns about lower crude affecting pricing trump the benefits of cheaper transport costs? It would appear the market does, BIN down 5% today after not much volatility lately.

thanks.

Q: Should we read anything into the 4.5% drop this morning?

Q: hi gang any thoughts on this co PJC-A.TO I am looking to buy as a long term 2-3 years . thanks.

Q: My question is regarding Foran Mining (FOM) .Since i last inquired about it almost 2 years ago it appears a lot of very good things have happened to the company.Especially this past week. Can you look through some of the releases and comment on them ? also, the stock seems to have very good inside ownership along with a very strong shareholder base.Would you also agree that having Pierre Lassonde owning %10 is a great vote of confidence in the project ? The Zinc sector sure appears to be ripening at a great pace on the LME and 2 large zinc mines have yet to close this year. IN your opinion is management able to execute what is best for FOM shareholders. Some results are pending but what are some of the options available to management at this point. i know this is a small and risky situation but i did get in early and look forward to your comments . thanx Norm

Q: good morning, would you guys happen to have a opinion on this stock as its lost a lot of its share price and I was wondering if it could be a decent risky buy ,if that makes sense.

Q: What is your opinion of this company?
There is so much merger and acquisition going on in the US, I am wondering if this company may be a candidate for someone like Coke to pick up?

Q: A technology stock mentioned on the program Disruptor on BNN on Thursday caught my attention. I was wondering if I could get your opinion of this stock. As always I am so thankful for you and your wonderful team of consultants. Where would I be without you? Have a wonderful weekend.

Q: I hold 4000 sh. of enb and am thinking of selling 1000 and buying 2000 ipl with the proceeds. is that a good move? Harry.

Q: I am looking for safety, income and some capital appreciation, like to have your choice, and or additional others.

Q: The stock got pounded today because of the rights offering which seems to happen whenever companies raise capital in this manner. What is your take on rights offering in general? Why is that route taken as opposed to a share offering? Thaks.

Q: Since March 25, 5 guests on BNN have recommended EFN. I own the stock and I am up 30%. You made some comments on April 1.

What has changed in the past few weeks to prompt this number of recommendations?

Is it time to cash out, hold or buy more?

Thanks.
