Q: Is the takeover of CEF.A sure to happen?

If so what is the last date to sell CEF.A?

Also, is there some similar alternative to own that will have any payouts in the form of dividends rather than distributions?

Q: I own a position in Amaya and am currently reviewing my position. On the Investorline website, it shows that Amaya inventory grew by 400 million from 2013 to 2014 YOY. What does this increase correspond to as they are a software based lottery and gaming company?

Their current assets have dropped below their current liabilities by 20% in their latest quarterly. Their total debt is larger than their market cap. What do these numbers mean for the company and for an investor? Am I missing something or are my numbers inaccurate?

How much of their total debt is bank debt vs. funded debt? Is this ratio something an investor should be concerned about?

Q: I've recently got a large bonus from work which will represent about 15% of my total portfolio. I am building up my U.S. exposure to get to my target level so all funds will be invested in a S&P 500 index fund. Since we are looking at all time highs how would you suggest to deploy the cash. Normally I would not try to time the market but with such a large part of my portfolio I'm wondering if I should hold off for a while or deploy it in three trades over the course of the next 6 months or so.
