Q: Hi Peter,

Yesterday's announcement by NeuLion that they have reached a deal with Fortress Investment Group to sell certain DivX assets has resulted in the stock jumping about 25% today. The scuttlebutt is that they are trimming down to focus on opportunities involving their OTT technology, and possibly to make the company more saleable to a bigger player. Any thoughts on this, and might it be a good time to buy?

Thanks very much, and Happy Holidays!

Brad

Q: I am starting a Growth Portfolio with $100,000 to be phased in over three years. I purchased DOL and SHOP with each 5% weighting, or $5000 each. What weightings should I consider for each of ECN, GSY, OTEX, PHO? (These positions will be in my TFSA and held for the long-term, more than 5 years.) Are there any other positions that I should consider at this time and if so, what weighting?
.PS...I currently hold KXS and GUD in my balanced portfolio.

Q: I held this company into receivership and it was showing a zero value in my portfolio. With the BC NDP announcing they will go ahead with the Site C dam, I noticed the PRW website is back online and the stock is showing a $.064 value. Will the company come back to life to complete the work? Will they be able to regain control from receivership? or will the partnership in site-C be sold by the receiver to a new bidder?
