Investment Q&A

Q: Hi there Peter, I like to ask your opinion of WFI its looks to have hit some what of a bottom, yeilds 5%, and seems like a good green growth company in the feild of geothermal heating and cooling industry. Could you take a look and tell me what you think. Itching to buy!!!! also in article of Forbes Mag. don't want to follow the herd pop on fri may 25

Q: Parkland Fuel (PKI). I am just starting to take "ownership" of my portfolio and I hardly have financial analyst skills. However, I noticed the following about Parkland:
- it is trading near its 52 week high
- it had over $200 million in intangibles on its balance sheet
- its P/E ratio seems high and the forward P/E is less
- its dividend exceeds its profit. I don't really understand the theory of ignoring non-cash expenses in determining an appropriate distribution amount, unless the actual requirement for repair/replacement is less than the recorded distribution.

Am I being too cautious?

Q: Could you please help me understand what is happening with AYA with respect to all the extensions being offered to obtain CryptoLogic shares? Is the offer in jeopardy? Also, in your view, is TCM worth holding on to, it has suffered badly.

Q: re: Sterling Resources (SLG), a stock well known (and once loved by Sprott) has experienced many bumps in the road - and great resultant volatility in the share price....with yet another opernation glitch (cost over-run and delay in the development of the Breagh field) is it time to throw in the towel on this company - or do you feel they will eventually realize their greatly touted potential (romania, netherlands, etc)...

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,Would you please give me your opinion on URB.A Thanks

Q: My first impression of 5i is a positive one. My hope is that you don't try to be all things to all people by covering every hole in the ground with a ticker symbol. I like your focus on solid, dividend paying small or mid caps. My question is on Constellation (CSU) -- what do you think of the stock at current prices? Thanks for your comments.

Q: Hi Peter. Keep up the excellent work. I am interested in starting to accumulate a position in gold/silver bullion. I was looking at Central Fund of Canada (CEF.A.TO). As far as I know, it is a closed-end fund which is equally weighted between gold & silver and has typically traded for a 5-10% premium to net asset value. Today, it is available for a 2% discount to net asset value (which I assume is because investor sentiment is just brutal). Do you generally like closed-end bullion funds like this one or would you prefer the open-ended bullion funds like GLD & SLV instead? I must admit the gold bugs have got me worried about the open-ended ones as they question whether you can be certain the etf is really backed by physical bullion. Do you think that is a legitimate concern or something not to worry about?

Thanks
Anthony

Q: Will the TAR sands CNQ SU CVE ever be a good investment?
They always seem to have a problem.

Q: Your thoughts on Madalena Ventures (MVN-V)? They announced a bought deal in Feb. at $1.25 and recent news in Argentina nationalizing parts of the oil industry is obviously bad news. That being said, it appears they have great assets, have satisfied the requirements of the ARG government and are close to profitability. Does this look like a good entry point in the low $0.40's?

Q: Edleun group inc edu
