Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Everyone seems to feel the sale will go through. As a share holder if I do nothing will I receive $4.90 per share credit to my account at closing and the shares disappear? Between now and then will the current price tend to drift up towards the $4.90 sale price? The exdividend date was 12/29/15 with the payday being 1/29/16. If I were to sell now...before 1/29/16 do I forfeit the dividend?
Thanks for your great assistance!

Q: Mr. Market seems to like the deal. When Waste Connections redomiciles to Canada will this stock have a TSX listing as well? I want a Canadian listed stock with US exposure. Thx again for all your help.
Wondering if you have any explanation why on a day like this with gold stock up (Barrick up 6% today) that Goldcorp is down. Lately it does not seem to move with other gold stocks. Are there some underlying issues?
Q: What is your recommendation with CSE shares? Is it best to just to wait for the sale to go through? Or if it gets close to the $4.80 mark would you just sell the shares. Currently it is trading 5% below the offer price, and overall it looks like stable deal.
Q: HLF made a big move today - nearly 6% when everything else seemed to be falling. I did not see any news. Anything to account for this? I was waiting for some weakness before buying. What do you recommend?
Q: I currently own 100 shares which is less than 1 percent position. So with such a small position I am inclined to sell now rather than wait and receive less than 50shares of the new company. Does that makes sense and what is the value of a bin share based on the deal-currently it is fluctuating quite a bit and I not sure what I should accept as the sell price.
Thanks
Q: I was thinking of buying this security for my RIF? It seems to have a high PE of 17x - concerned if we go into recession? Would you consider this a safe investment for income? Also, where are they going to get grwth in sales and income going fwd.? Unfortunately not a lot of choices here in Canada -trying to diversify with a consumer discretionary.
Now that we have this offer for BIN, I am thinking about what to replace it with. I am mostly aligned with the model portfolio but don't yet own CCL.B, WSP, or MDA but have always been interested in them. My BIN position is close to 5% of the portfolio following the recent market declines and the offer for BIN. Should I buy any one of the three I named from the model portfolio or split the position and buy two of the names?
Q: With gold holding around $1100 US (in fact a relatively high gold price historically) and energy costs relatively low (the highest input costs), I'm considering buying a company like Goldcorp as their profit potential should be improving and that the shares are so low and hated. Any thoughts?
Q: The stock is down 17% YTD incl. 6% drop today. Any explanations why? There seems to be no news... SJ is one of the few companies that benefits from low CAD dollar, so I am surprised it is dropping so much.
