Q: Hi Guys,
As a sad and angry holder of a lot of valueless PGF stock, I read where if you sell your stock for .05 cents you may also get the possibility of a contingent value payment if litigation goes the company’s way. Does that apply to shareholders and what if I don't sell and the deal does or doesn't go through.
Why is Seymour Schulich not saying anything? Rumour is he's getting a better deal than the rest of the shareholders.

Thanks,
Charlie

Q: Hi again,
Just wondering what you would think of using a few country specific ETFs for emerging markets exposure since China, South Korea, and Taiwan make up over 50% of XEC holdings. Too much risk vs diversity? Or just stick with something like XEC or EMGF for a 10+ year hold in a risk managed growth ETF portfolio. Thanks

Q: If considering buying a stock such as CSU, which is obviously very expensive, if due to portfolio sizing etc, the number of shares you should purchase is say 5-10, is that a sign that you should be investing in ETF rather than shares, due to the commission per share etc, or just consider the underlying $ value of the investment and no worries.

Q: Can you provide any information on Cielo Waste Solutions? Would this be investible or is it a high risk/stay away from stock?

Q: A question about the casino company Game Host. My father's sold his Cineplex position and his looking for another stock with (1) a high yield (2) a monthly dividend. His bonds are not paying enough. With oil back over 60$, do you think that Game Host properties should see better traffic soon? We don't hope for capital appreciation, but want a balance sheet that has more chance to improve than weaken. Thank you!

Q: I own SDY in New York: an ETF that holds companies that buy back their shares. This ETF has done very well. I found the TSX index on companies trading on the TSX that buy back shares - the symbol is TXBB and this index has substantial outperformed the TSX over the past 10 years. But TXBB only lists the 50 companies with the highest buy backs. Where can I find a complete list of all companies trading on the TSX that buy back shares? Also, is there an EFT equivalent to SDY that holds companies trading on the TSX that buy back shares?
Thanks
Michael
