Q: CAS Last commented on this was November 2012. Has a small dividend about 3.2%. However, the book value is +$11.00. Does book value mean much to you in terms of current trading price. I have a few shares and have been averaging up on this stock and was thinking of averaging up again. My holding is less than 1%. Does this stock have a lot of potential in the next 12 months or so, or is the debt to high which is cauising it to be a bit risky? Does this stock have any kind of a seasonal pattern?
Thanks Al

Q: The dog in the portfolios I manage is RLC--Regal Lifestyle Communities. I bought it on the basis of a nice yield and any slight down could be weathered easily while collecting the divi.--supposed to be a boring but safe play. It is going down far further than I thought--any reasons? Does my original plan still hold?

Q: Peter, I am considering selling a portion of my RY which has been reasonably strong ( I will keep enough RY that it will be 3% of my portfolio. I also have TD and BNS, each at the same 3% ). I would invest the proceeds evenly over a basket including UNS, SCL, BAU, FTT, ACD, BDT, BEK.b, NAL, LIQ, RBA, FRC.........looking for small and mid-cap value, with some of them paying a dividend. Would appreciate your opinion. Many thanks, Barry.

Q: WIN
I'm surprised no one has asked already, comments regarding the Panasonic deal and shareholder outreach?

I understand that Wi-lan can't really comment on how much deals are worth as they are negotiating with other parties. However it makes it a little difficult to assess news. Was today's panasonic news worth $1 dollar, a game changer, or somewhere in the middle (hopefully more on the latter end)?
