Q: I hold a large position in North Quest Ltd, a junior gold explorer. Nordgold (LSE: NORD)owns 52 % of NQ and has announced that it will be making a takeover bid, offering $0.253 per share. NQ has just released the results of a glacial till sampling program that identifies a large, high grade gold anomaly in a previously unexplored part of the claims.
I feel that, because of this new anomaly the shares are worth far more than what Nordgold has offered.My question is this - if I refuse to sell my shares at the present offer is there any scenario where I can be forced to sell them?
Thanks.

Q: First best to the season to you.

I was wondering about your general thoughts on Shaw, now that the Wind purchase had rattled the stock price. Is this good for Shaw in the future, and is the current price one to consider it a buy now?
Is the duel stock structure a big hindrance to the growth of the stock price?
As always, thanks..

Q: Hi,
What are the forecasted forward earnings for Uniselect? Qtrade shows Q4 2015 earnings declining over Q4 2014 earnings and 2016 earnings being less than 2015 earnings. Are you comfortable with purchasing this stock at today's levels and are there any significant risks to be aware of? Thanks.

Q: Good Morning
With the 2016 contribution at hand what 2 recommendations would you suggest that would deliver the highest yield with low risk for a long term hold? The lack of the dividend tax credit muddies the water.

Merry Christmas to all and thanks as always.
