Q: I have Enbridge in my portfolio and have received notice of a special meeting pertaining to the merger with Spectra that involves the issuance of shares to Spectra holders at just below par to facilitate the process. The literature is rather bulky and I am not sure I really understand it. Is this a good proposal for shareholders and should I support it? This kind of change makes me nervous. Is it a really good idea almost certain to benefit the merged entity, or is it time to exit from Enbridge to be safe?

Q: The U.S small caps index had a 10 day string of gains, which hasn't happened for 5 years. It looks like animal spirits are finally back, and I'd like to buy before the "take-off". It seems it's easy to miss the boat these days, which happened to me with with U.S banks! Do you think this IWM move will carry over to the TSX small caps? I'm considering buying 1/3 positions in BAD, DHX, and ACQ. Thank you.

Q: Hello - I'd really like to take a position in K-Bro, but I have questions:

1) K-Bro appears to be expensive. If I'm getting correct information, the TTM P/E ratio is about 26. Is that correct? Would you not agree that this is expensive? I really don't see this as a growth stock to justify such a high multiple.

2) What is a reasonable P/E multiple range for a company like this?

3) Going forward do you see decent dividend growth?

Thanks for you valuable service.

Q: Could you please explain why Spin Master's Q3 earnings have been higher than the aggregate of the other quarters combined? Would you anticipate this to change in Q12017 with several new products coming online for the holidays? I'm not very comfortable investing in companies like TOY, PBH and PKI due to valuation so do you think that starting with small positions in each and adding to the winners makes sense?
