Investment Q&A

Q: Rubicon released news today expanding the zone of F2 and also releasing a few drill results in the sub 1000 meter zone which suggests continued high grade at depth. Any idea why analysts do not really cover the stock and why the market is not reacting favourably. I would imagine that people should be realizing its potential by now especially since it is cashed up, has Lalonde and is expected to pour if everything goes well in 2014.

Thanks

Q: Newcastle Investment(NCT-N). I'd appreciate your thoughts on this US REIT.

Q: Could you please take a look at Solium Capital (SUM) and could I get your comments on the company and the stock. Thanks.

Q: This morning La Mancha Resources (LMA)was delisted from the TSE. Can you shed some light on what one should do with the shares as it is not possible to follow their progress at this point.

Q: I notice on your recent report on ECI you state that Octavian is still a major shareholder but INK shows they have a zero accout balance. Am I reading this wrong.

Q: I have noticed that over the past 3 months, many of my dividend -oriented stocks (REITs, Utilities, Pipelines,...) have trended down, while the Cdn market (XIC/XIU) has been mildly positive. What is your assessment of what is going on? Do you see this trend continuing?

Q: In response to Neil's comment: Please, no chat room!! I didn't sign up for 'fun', a chat room would not be 'fun' nor am I interested in others chats!! That would be a complete waste of my time.
Those who suggest and criticize seem to be overly anxious and impatient for the next report and I am sure that there is much more to writing your reports, like a time factor, than the critics understand. I trust and believe that you, Peter, and those who work with you are completely capable of managing your time and company very well. I really appreciate the variety of questions and the security of having 5i Research to ask when I cannot find answers elsewhere and access to a highly competent team. Thank you, many times over.

Q: MCB Mccoy Corp. I asked about MCB on the day it reported. Your reply was positive but you wanted to listen to the CC. Now that you listened to that do you have anything to add to your previous comments?

TY

Q: Good morning,
I absolutely disagree with the earlier comment regarding the ability to submit members' questions. I regard this as the most valuable part of your service. These questions often focus upon companies with little or no analyst coverage or relate to very recent developments. The ability to secure timely advice upon these matters is highly useful. You provide a unique service in this regard and I urge you to continue it.
Peter

Q: Any opinion on CHE.UN
Thanks Harold

Q: I would appreciate any information you can give me on the debt level of Oanda Energy Resource Inc.[oer-tsx].Any other comments on it short and long would also be great.

Q: Peter, et al
No question, just a couple of thoughts. I'm not sure how "tireless" your resource people are, but it seems to me that on this forum you are getting so many questions on companies that you do not profess to follow that it must be taxing on those who are trying to give the best answer possible (and perhaps, more importantly, taking their time away actually doing reports on companies you want to cover). Have you thought of opening a monitered members chat room on your site? This might be: a) a lot of fun for all, and b) relieve some of the increased questioning which you are receiving. Also, re: the latter, simply saying "we haven't looked at this company and so cannot responsibly reply to your question" is a valid answer and one that, I would think, most would accept. (perhaps you already do this with off line responses). Anyway, thanks for all the great work.

Q: When you have time could you look at Chemtrades numbers. Not too sure if they were good or bad by reading them. Thanks. Rod

Q: Hi Peter, all this talk about this "Fiscal Cliff" are we as investors also at the edge, how can it affect us, is there something that we can do or should do to protect our investments from going over the edge into the abyss. Thanks
