Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter,
Jim Keohane from Hoop was on BNN Friday and was explaining his absolute return strategies he uses to run the HOOP Pension plan. He was explaining the approach for lower risk vs return vs a equity only approach. Is it better ? Are there any strong funds like this available to the average guy ?
Thanks, Paul

Q: I owned ICC Labs which got a take over offer from Aurora to be paid in ACB shares. ACB price has gone crazy while ICC is still trading below the offer price. I must be missing something cos I cant figure out why everyone isn't buying ICC shares to give them up in exchange for ACB shares valued at the time of the deal. Thanks!

Q: While your comments could apply to both our Canadian and US markets it is interesting that your slant appears to lean toward US markets rather than Canadian even though the bulk of your research covers Canadian based companies. Sure the US markets are still up this year but it is quite a different picture when looking at the Canadian markets. We are ' not still up' this year but down since January. Interest in the Canadian equity markets is waning for various reasons, taxes, regulatory hurdles, etc. So could you perhaps add some comments that address our markets and investment environment.in the context of our recent performance and future expectations. Thanks.

Q: i am concerned about the above 2 stocks, they are thin traders especially covalon.
in covalons case you are the only one following it, so when markets sell off a lot of investors panic and head for the exits.
with goeasy it trades a little more on a daily basis but it has just been killed lately, even though it is up on the year and their earnings announcements surprise to the upside it has gotten slaughtered,maybe again small investors are heading for the exits with their 25 shares, i am being sarcastic but i think your membership moves markets especially in these 2 . can you comment. dave

Q: Any new information on this stock since the last question/answer? Would you consider this a buy at this time and if so what level of risk on a scale of 1 to 10? Do you feel the dividend is fairly safe and if so will the stock price will grow into 10 percent dividend. Is there an active investor involved? Lastly, do you see this stock getting some momentum in the next year or is it a long term play. Please deduct as many credits as you need to.
Thanks

Q: RESP Question: My oldest son has 4 years to go until university and my youngest 7 years. I have $28,000 saved so far in an RESP and all is currently in a low yield interest fund. Can you give me a few suggestions on investments considering the time horizon? I was thinking Telus, BNS and maybe Enbridge. Thoughts?
