Q: Any thoughts about Bank of America, I realize it may be off your radar screen but I think it is intriguing as a turnaround stock it certainly has legacy concerns from the acquisition of Country Wide but it seems to be becoming more focused, should see declining loan loss provisions, and should have significant tax loss carry forwards?

Q: Do you have any recent thoughts on DSG I am considering it for my RRSP? I have a long term time horizon and Waterloo software companies seem to be good bets. It also seems to be a favourite of several small cap mutual funds.

Q: Now that Passport Potash (PPI) has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of North American Potash Developments for cash and shares ($2.7 million left to be paid and 525K shares left to provide) will the company definitely need to do financing?

Also is it normal for an agreement to talk about "bonus" money paid to a company (North American Potash) in the event PPI transfers/sells to someone else?

3.9 million tonnes of measured KCl. Sells for about $400 a tonne. That's $1.5 billion. About 172 million shares. So about $8/share.
Indicated is 37 million tonnes, or about a 10x increase in above values.

What are the errors/dangers in thinking/calculating this way?
Even with share dilution from financing, at 20 cents this seems like an undervalued company?

Thank you for your time.
