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

Q: Hi. Thanks for your invaluable advice. Can you indicate what the financial implications are of Callidus Capital's announcement today that they are considering establishing a private fund? It seems to indicate that Callidus is having difficulties finding a buyer. Would you recommend continuing to hold this stock or is it time to consider alternatives?

Q: I currently own both of these companies. I'm planning on adding to one. Which would be your first choice for a long term hold {3 to 5 years} balancing some safety with reasonable growth.


Thanks Valter

Q: My 36 yr old daughter has a current portfolio of $150k in RSPs and her TFSA. She is interested in enrolling in 6 true company DRIPs that she would start with approximately $5,000 each and contribute to over time. Her intent would be to keep these shares to ultimately use the dividends for retirement income in 20-30 years. In the meantime, the dividend tax credit would be useful offsetting the income earned. Is this a good strategy and if so can you suggest 6-8 companies that she might consider for this purpose? Thank you for your help. Jim

Q: Hi 5i: I bought MG and MRE about 6 months ago. MG is now down a little and MRE is up over 30%. I know that both have interests in Europe, and that MRE went through a rough patch with management issues, as well as some plant problems, both now behind them. Does this explain the recent difference, or is there some other explanation? The news on the auto parts sector is not particularly rosy, and I've been thinking about a switch to some other sector. What do you think? Sell both, sell one (which one?) or just hold tight? I'd appreciate your advice.

Q: I own Series 2 Adjustable Rate Preferred Shares. The company has given notice that these shares can be converted on a one-for-one basis into Series3 Preferred Shares. Would it be more advantageous for me to keep the Series 2 Adjustable Rate Preferred Shares or convert them into the Series 3 Preferred Shares?

Q: Hi.
I have been watching the insider trading reports lately and there has been what I would describe as significant purchases of these 2 companies by a "GMT Capital\Bay Resource" insider. Considering your industry background I was wondering if you might know them and if so, what your perspective would be on this activity.
Thanks
