Q: Re: EXE (Extendicare)
Hi,
I was puzzled by the wild ride this stock had in yesterday's trade. Was up almost 10% in the morning and of course way down (28%) by end of day.
Yes, I understand the reason it went down so much later, due to the big dividend cut. However, I'm totally confused about the way some news obviously must have passed around the large number of investors who "knew something was up" earlier on.
Just how and where is this kind of info available, since no news or public announcements were published about the company before this happened.
I am really turned off about this whole thing, how some investors are privvy of confidential info and many others are not. Was there inside info provided and why does it happen so often ? (See most recent price swings for CAE up 10% in one week).
Thank you for your comments.
Paul

Q: Hi team:Please ignore my question about the rated returns I have found another printout which clearly explains that the minus returns are the d to F rated companies.
I would like an update on CSS. I paid $12.51. It is $10.90. You would have told "us" if there was anything to know, I am sure, but is this just a buying opportunity? Why did trading stop on WCP today? Trading usually does not stop because they made an acquisition if that's what happened.
Thanks so much. Jean

Q: Peter what's your view on the Canadian banks - many articles recently on the risks facing the banks - housing bubble, debt levels etc - so far at least, the banks don't appear to have gotten the message that they should be going down - what are your thoughts in general - thanks in advance for your feedback.

Q: Re: ECI
Hi Peter. Do you know anything about Ford Equity Research? They came out this morning with a Strong Sell on Enercare. It's very rare that anyone puts out such a negative recommendation on a stock so I am wondering if this is a credible institution. I own ECI and see no reason not to continue. Thank you and kind regards.

Q: In a recent reply, you mentioned that our Oil & Gas holdings, were too high, at 16% of our total investments. One of these is Baytex, which I bought in both my TFSA and our Joint account for its dividend and growth. It has been a great disappointment with an 11.5% loss to date. Is the dividend safe? Should I hold it for eventual recovery? Or should I sell? We also have CPG which is similarly down, plus HSE, CVE and KEY. Thoughts?
