Q: Is there a case to be made for trading HCG with it sitting at current levels? I realize that your service advocates careful and balanced portfolio management but there do seem to be opportunities to harvest $.40/.50 cent swings.
As a second part to the question, do you see the company going to Zero or has it already bottomed out as CXR and VRX did before it with the short attacks. The underlying business seems better than it is getting credit for but perhaps that doesn't matter.

Q: I have held MKP for years. It has dropped in recent days in sympathy with HCG. Since it is a similar company, could it have similar issues? I also note that the dividend has risen to over 8%, another reason for concern? What action would you recommend for a holder of MKP at this time?
Q: Could I please have your comments on HCG announcement on the board additions announced today? Thx
Q: May I please have your comments on Manulife's earnings. Thank you
Q: Jerome Hass was Market Call, his comments, left me with the impression, that insiders were planning to privatizing this company. Is there no indication on who is looking at the company to buy?? Also, you stated to Ruby that the div. @ 81/2 % is risky, is that because the cash flow or the company could use the money to buy back shares. If they cancelled or greatly reduced the div. then possibly the stock would drop in value and make it cheaper for a buy out??? This seems to me, if any of this was true, would be very unethical, & would there not be some safe guards to prevent this Earl
Q: I was planning on adding to my position in GWO later on this month; should I buy today to take advantage of today's pullback? Any reason not to add to my position at all? This is a longterm hold for stability and dividend. Thank you.
Q: Have owned CBL for quite some time and based on the potential sale value (indicated 18-22.00) I don't get that investors would bail on the stock after reporting a weak quarter. If the company is not sold, do you think it would be worthwhile to continue holding?
Q: I have 2 bonds that I believe are issued by home capital group:
HOME TR DEP NT 3.4% 10DC18 book value- $18,000 market value $16,065 -11.39%
HOME TR DEP NT2.35%24MY17 book value- $18,000 market value $17,460 -3.11%
I was planing to hold until maturity.
Should I be worried if I hold until maturity?
Any thoughts or advice?

Q: This is a followup to my question re: the class action suite filed against EFN. You replied asking for a reference to a link.
Here is what I have extracted from a news item on my BMOInvestorline account.
In particular, the complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) CGI's equity contribution to its joint venture with Element Financial Corp. was $68.2 million, rather than the $100 million contribution the Company reported in its public filings; (ii) the Company is being actively investigated by the SEC; and (iii) that as a result of the foregoing, CGI's publicly disseminated financial statements were materially false and misleading.
If you suffered a loss during the class period and wish to obtain additional information, please contact Joseph Klein, Esq. by telephone at 212-616-4899 or visit http://www.kleinstocklaw.com/pslra-sa/celadon-group-inc?wire=1.

Q: Given the ripples this mess is creating, how long do you think the OSC will take to reach a conclusion? Also, how long before there is clarity on how HCG will unwind? I'm assuming no going concern option here...
Thanks

Q: Good Morning,
Some recent pressure on Canadian bank stocks lately, do you see this continuing in the near term? I would like to add some BNS to a taxable account, what are your thoughts. This will be a long term hold. Have TD and RY in TFSA and RRSP.
Also what are your thoughts on CNR for a long term investment in a taxable account.
Thank you

Q: Home Trust has a $500,000 face, 2.35% coupon bond trading at 96 that matures in 21 days. With HCG $2B line and current GIC funding what are the risks of this not being paid? If it is not paid how much could one expect to recover?
Q: what do you think of the transaction? will the subscription receipt trade on the tsx and if so what is the symbol?
Q: I am a senior , I am of the view that bonds , preferred shares, fixed income are not as effective an investment device compared to Canadian bank shares. I don't see a lot of risk over the years, but large and consistent yields. Besides liquidity in a bad recession, where else do you see downside by treating bank stocks as fixed ,long term income investments, hence overweight positions in a portfolio.Thanks to a great team for your exceptional service, Jerry
