Q: Hello- is DBC one of those ETFS based on commodity futures which will erode in value even given steady commodity prices, if held for more than a month or two?
Is there another Commodity ETF which you can suggest which can be held for a year or more without this erosion? Does one need to buy a commodity stock based ETF? Any recommendations in Canada and the US?
Thanks

Q: Does CU utilize coal in its business? In previous answers you refer to the share price drop being investor concern regarding Alberta energy policy. What specifically are the concerns? With interest rate concerns as well would you consider the price now ~$32.37, a buy. I hold a small position bought at 36.26 and would like to add more mainly for growing income.

Thank you ever so much.

Q: Peter, flat out: would you be tendering these shares to suncor? Yes the value is a low ball offer but suncor is the much better operator, and i believe will do far better with the asset. When tendering if im under water is a capital loss realized even when we are trading shares for shares? Thank you.

Q: Hi Guys,

Is there any hope this stock will rise from the ashes? Could you comment on their last quarter report.

This is a "speculative" investment for me and is a very small portion of my portfolio (less than .5%). Should I move on to something else with these funds?

Thanks for your thoughts,
John

Q: Good Afternoon what do you think of today's news for BNK? Looks like the Albanian government has seized their local bank account in order to try and collect a tax amount of $75 million, the shares are getting crushed down 21%, is this an opportunity or another example of why to stay away from risky jurisdictions such as Albania?
Thanks

Q: Thank you for the Tax Loss Bounce Blog. I own CXR and expect a bounce in 2016. I also like CRH. The other one that caught my eye in the blog is CKE. Can you please provide an overview/update on this company. What is leading to its continued decrease while others in the industry hover? How is the balance sheet? Is debt level a concern? Are the assets good? Do you have confidence in management? What is insider ownership? With prolonged low oil prices is this small company a good candidate for a takeout? Many thanks for your excellent service.
