Q: Re: HLP.UN I have read question/answer by Allan on Aug 18.
Your guidance was - "you need to tender your shares to the deal".
I'm a "new" investor. I own some of this stock. I don't understand what I need to do in this situation. Would you kindly provide further guidance.

Q: DHX shares have moved up nicely from the time of your report this spring; my broker lists upcoming Q4 earnings estimate as 1 cent (4 analysts) and revenues of $30.7 mm (almost unchanged from last Q) with the big jump in earnings and revenue projected for next Q1. Do you agree with these numbers and what is the short position?
Also who are its peers (broker lists only tiny ones such as ZUM) and does a lot of the potential growth come from the foreign operations where it gets 30% of revenue and what countries does DHX operate in? Thanks, J.

Q: Rumours that magna mg.a executives are looking at an acquisition specifically possibly a division of Johnson controls or all of Lear industries. Is there a canadian company they might be interested in like martinrea.
Q: Do you know, what is the cost on a QST incinerator in comparison to a typical combustion flare stack? If it's materially more expensive, what's the incentive for companies to cough up the extra dough? You mentioned increasing regulations by governments, is that quantifiable in some way? Thanks for your answers!
Q: Have taken a position in BAD this morning on weakness with hopes of a bounce. How does the street feel about this stock presently. At this price is it being quietly accumulated or is it a tax loss seller for 2014?
Q: re: AVO... the ongoing Saga
It has become the new/latest "Amaya type" 5i blogging saga. Panic abounds and the length of the discussion grows daily.
I have read all answers and like everyone else I am buried on this one, but for me to cut and run and take a loss based on panic would be retarded. The numbers continued to appear reasonable and future opportunities appear to be available especially if some of their cash can be spent on a quality acquisition.
My Concern??? How easy is Alexander Fernandes to work for? It may be my ignorance of the true situation, but it appears to me the turn over at this company is very high. Which begs the question if all of Mr. Hernandes' time is being spent replacing people, then who is minding the store regarding day to day business? And if in fact he is difficult to work for (which in some respects isn't a bad thing) what can we expect from the people he hires moving forward?
Personnel turnover is expensive. Is there any validity to my concern?
Thanks You for all you
Patiently Yours

Q: Hi Peter: Is this the time to pick up additional shares of AVO or do you think I would be trying to catch a "falling knife"? As well I also have a small position in DHX, and SYZ. What would you suggest?

Q: BDI vs HNL: I have a 20% paper loss on Horizon North. Would it make sense to trade it for BDI and expect better share price increases and off set the lower dividend on Black Diamond?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.
Q: Hi Team,
With regards to your team's views on CSS offer being bid up, I just read that TFI has already reached the max they can borrow for the CSS deal. How are they supposed to finance a higher bid. What is the risk the offer will not be accepted by shareholders and no counter offer comes from TFI as well. Where do you think the price will head in that scenario. Thanks

Q: Peter et al,
I want to decrease my % holdings in oil & gas and financials. I plan on buying 1 or 2 stocks in sectors I do not own now, such as Health or health care, or industrials. I could also increase my tech holdings (ESL & SYZ). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Q: Re: HLP.UN Healthlease Properties
I currently own HLP.UN. When the takeover is completed, what happens to my exiting shares? Are they somehow rolled over into the new company or am I paid out at the takeover price?
Thank you.

Q: The article from Bloomberg reflects my sentiments quite succinctly. I had bought AVO at $30 and is currently 3% of my portfolio. I am torn between diametrically opposite courses of action.
- The stock has tremendous potential but very risky. If I double my position, the cost base comes down and the percentage risk diminishes but the risked amount increases.
- I could hold on to my current position and I think the downside risk is a lot lower from this point on.
- Or I could take my losses and justify that not doing so would be an opportunity cost of investing elsewhere with lower risk; in case the gain in stock price is not substantial.
I ask your advice as a voice of reason. I have itchy fingers and very often gamble and very often the end result proves the old adage that I was lucky in love.

Q: Hi Peter, hope that you are recovering well for your trip. At this time, would purchase of 10% positions each of Black Diamond and Stella Jones for an RESP be ok ? Other holdings are 25% BNS and 25% Telus. Balance is cash. Buy now or wait ? Thank you, Paul
