Q: What do you think of the take out price? Do you think there will be an offer from another company? Do you know when the deal will close and is it worth selling into the market now and redeploying the cash while the market is down. Thanks.

Q: I know you have mentioned that CXR has gone down with Valeant and that the fundamentals are still good. Yes they have debt but a lot of free cash flow to pay it down. But this stock just continues to fall, to ridiculously low prices. There was also another Seeking Alpha report posted today bashing the company.At what level would you say investors should get out of it, if it continues on this path?

Q: I own some of Sherritt bonds that matures in 2018. Would you agree that the probability of this proposal to succeed is very high? What does this mean to the chances of the company survival? Would you recommend taking the consent incentive in money or in warrants? Would it advisable to add to my holding of this bond? My holding is insignificant as a percentage of my total portfolio. Are bondholders entitled to receive the maturity value on maturity date, or would that force the company to file for protection because it might not be able to meet their obligation?

Thanks.
