Q: It appears the $1.65/share takeover by Norgine is set for Sept 30, 2017. Between now an then do you see any other upside above $1.65? I read at Pharmpro.com, 'The Arrangement Agreement includes a non-solicitation covenant on the part of Merus, subject to customary "fiduciary out" provisions that entitle Merus to consider and accept unsolicited superior proposals and a right in favour of Norgine to match any superior proposal....'

Q: So I sold my nvda under $100 because there was so much talk of it being overvalued. Now it is flying like a rocket. Debating if I should get back in. Is the rocket flying of nvda justified or it will come crashing down just as fast?

Q: What is going on with AIM? Is it a good buy? How much of their revenue comes from their Air Canada partnership? What I am reading is they have $2.75/share in cash, does this make it a good buy on sale today with the price in the $3-4 range this morning?

Q: I am concerned about my allocations to the banking sector. TD accounts for 16% of my portfolio and BAC/WFC combination 7%. All shares were purchased during the financial crisis and I have done extremely well with that move. With TD's US exposure I could pare BAC/WFC or reduce TD or continue to hold them? All shares are in RIFs. I am a conservative investor. Dividend income is good.

Thanks for your advice,
