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

Q: WIN
I'm surprised no one has asked already, comments regarding the Panasonic deal and shareholder outreach?

I understand that Wi-lan can't really comment on how much deals are worth as they are negotiating with other parties. However it makes it a little difficult to assess news. Was today's panasonic news worth $1 dollar, a game changer, or somewhere in the middle (hopefully more on the latter end)?

Q: Peter, if you've answered this question previously, please don't post this. I have never put in stop loss sells and have never reacted market news or unfavourable market conditions, even 2008 except perhaps for buying. My belief is that the companies I own are sound and if sentiment or global conditions hick-up and equities tumble prices will come back. What are your thoughts on putting in automatic sell orders when prices drop a certain amount within a single day?

Q: SCS (Second Wave Petroleum):

Further to the Brookfield going private offer.
When OSB market was in distress a few years back Brookfield took control of NorBord and Answorth. NBD and ANS continued as public companies and all shareholders eventually benefitted. The SCS going private transaction (requiring a majority of the disinterested shareholders) appears to be nasty situation for the minority shareholders. What are your views on this aspect?

Q: Peter,

You have talked about CXS in the last few comments but have not provided any recommendation to hold, sell or buy. At this level is it a good buy for a two year time frame. Could this be a multi-bagger stock. Thanks
