Q: Over the past month ADN is up ~ 11 % while WEF is down ~25%. ADN has a PE of only 6.6 Vs. 12.4 for WEF, ADN has a PB of 1.1 vs 1.9 for WEF and finally ADN has a slightly higher yield of 5.4% vs 4.2% (based on TMX data). I have a very small position (<1% total portfolio) and wondering at this point would you favour adding to WEF or selling WEF and buying ADN. I do not want to own both as I already have too many stocks.
Appreciate your excellent service.

Q: Wondering if you have any comments on 5N Plus as potential growth stock. They seem to have been growing steadily and well over the last few years although not a large company comparatively.

Thanks.

Q: CLCT has recently pulled back a bit after a nice run. What is your current opinion of purchasing this US small-cap stock now as a 1 - 3 yr hold, and how well covered is their (rather juicy!) dividend?

Thanks!

Q: Regarding Linda's question on washing within RRSP. RBC Direct for a few years now, has both US and Canadian currency accounts in RRSP, TSFA and all other accounts. Thus when you trade US securities they stay in US $ and you are not hit with currency exchanges coming and going. I find this feature a huge advantage.

Q: Peter and Team, I used to think this was just coincidence. But I’m quite positive now that I know FOR CERTAIN how to determine exactly when a stock is going to drop between 5 and 10 percent, to wit: This will occur within the two trading days following my purchase of said stock. (Latest example: Exco.) My question is: how can I harness this newfound knowledge for my own financial benefit – or possibly even for the good of all mankind? (Please do not say “buy puts”. I’m quite sure this would only cause the stock to skyrocket.) Thanks as always, James

Q: Hi Peter and Staff:

You have probably already aware of Amaya response below. You may or may not wish to publish however I was wondering what would be a good entry point here, if I was to leverage down

"Amaya comments on media report regarding Italian operation (cnw)
MONTREAL, March 11, 2015 /CNW/ - Amaya Inc. ("Amaya" or the "Corporation") (TSX: AYA) today provided clarification to a media report regarding a tax dispute involving the Italian operations of PokerStars.
The tax dispute relates to operations of PokerStars dating from before the acquisition of the company by Amaya in August, 2014. The merger agreement related to that transaction provides remedies to address certain income tax and other liabilities that might occur post-closing but stemming from operations prior to the date of acquisition, including monies held in escrow as initial sources for indemnification. The current tax dispute is something Amaya was aware of prior to the transaction. Amaya does not anticipate that these tax issues would apply to future fiscal periods. The company's operations continue as usual on www.pokerstars.it and it remains focused on delivering the most popular online"

Thanks again for your great advice.
