Q: Verde Potash (NPK)
Verde is presenting in Vancouver on the 20th and in Brazil on the 21st of Jan.
Do presentations by companies at events such as these really do much or are they just kind of fluff?
I'm also curious about 5i's opinion if Verde could be benefiting from Brazil Central Bank easing reserve rules, easier to get a large loan from a Brazilian bank promoting industry?

General thoughts? Still think it will be quiet or better chance now of things happening?
Thanks for your time.

Q: Hi Peter and company I purchased a rather large number of shares of Automodular (AM), a company I had never heard of before I subscribed to your service. It has been a fantastic winner so thank you very much. But where is it going now? From my BMO recognia value analyzer, I see it has about 20M shares, no debt, 15m in cash and equivalents and an 8 % yield(approximate figures rounding price to $3). So it looks like it still has room to run. What do you think.

Thanks

Ross

Q: Hi, Peter and team: I'm considering taking a position in Richards Packaging (RPI.UN). Their 3rd quarter 2012 results gave a figure of 62% for payout ratio (up from 59% a year earlier). My discount broker shows Richards with a payout ratio of 149.80 (?). I'm having a bit of a problem with payout ratios. I don't know whether higher is good or bad. I'd appreciate any help in this area. Thanks, Dale

Q: I was wondering if a Caldwell Partners CWL would turn up through your screening process.Reinstituting a dividend after a four year absense caught my attention.
The company has done one financing in it's 24 year public life and yet being a small microcap has a 30% instituitional base.

Q: Hi Peter,
I'm down 14% with HNL. This is my first significant negative holding of 5i recommendations and I don't know what to do (HNL is 10% of my portfolio). Should I sell or hold?

Q: Peter,

What do you think will happen in the WND takeover story? BEP.UN has asked investors to vote for their 2.50 bid and the share price is hovering at 2.80. I have quite a lot of shares at the current market price. Is is safe to bet their would at least be a bid of 3 or more or should I trim down my holdings and buy something else.

Also, I got some good takeovers in June and July but as always I lost a lot my money on some gold and similar stocks in the Aug-Dec period and I am wondering what should I do going forward with a much smaller cash balance currently invested in PKI, BTE and CPG Options. Thanks for the advise.
