Q: Hi Peter,

Just looking for your opinion (any change) on Student Transport (STB) after the last quarter report.

I wish to point out something from their conference call that I feel a lot of investors miss: The Company leased vehicles in 2008/9 and has been writing off the lease payments as expenses from then until now. Their normal policy is to lease for 6 years. This quarter they were able to purchase these vehicles at the end of their leases for $1 million. They had a market value of $3.2 million dollars and 6 to 8 years of remaining useful life with very little charges to the next couple of years operating statement. This is a large unrecorded asset and has been overstating costs in operating statement which will reverse in the future.

I obviously like STB and am a current shareholder. I value your opinion.

Thanks
John

Q: Good morning,

Can you give me your update on Canso Credit for holding in an RRSP.

The stock has been performing well for quite some time (flying under the radar screens). It appears to have a very low valuation with a decent yield.

What are the prospects for continue growth?
How safe is the yield? What is the payout ratio?

Would you reccommend purchase at this level?

Thanks
Thomas

Q: Team

I am sitting on quite alot of US and CDN dollars in my RSP.

I would like to start picking away at some of the Canadian dividend paying stocks ( ie: BCE, CPG and others).

The one's I am looking at trade on both the CDN and US exchanges.

We the current exchange rate favoring the US dollar, would it be prudent to buy these Canadian companies on the US exchanges.

Assuming, for example, CPG/BCE stock price increases (along with the dividend it pays out), buying it in US would also give you the additional exchange amount, as well, if you wanted to convert back to CDN dollars at this time.

As always, thanks for your excellent service.

Mike

Q: Any new thoughts on Gamehost? I am a long time holder of GH, and it is about 4% of my portfolio. Down 20% over the last 3 months, much of it on the oil drop. Are there any other concerns at Gamehost, or is $12.80 a good price to add another 1-2%?
Thank you.
I am really enjoying the Member Questions, and the knowledge level of both the members, and your crew, is sure helpful.
