Q: Hi Peter & Team:
I own shares in Westaim [wed]. I notice that the top three execs have purchased 51% of the shares.There is 36 mil on the bal sheet.They are looking for a good opportunity and in the interim collect a total of 800 k a year in salaries while doing their regular jobs. What would prevent them from taking the company private at a low price per share purchase from the minority shareholders. Do you see it as foolhardy to purchase more shares.
Thanking you in advance
BEN

Q: Hello 5 I
I have a question on CHH (Centric Health). When you last responded about this company in April you suggested things were improving, but you would want to see positive results continue through another qtr.

Second Qtr results appeared to be positive with increasing revenue and some restructuring of debt which is to improve cash flow by as much as $10 million annually. The market responded positively but gave back all its gains on an announcement yesterday that changes will go ahead on the OHIP funding model for publically funded pyhisotherapy.

My question is has your opinion on CHH changed? As well is the current weakness a 'headline news' reaction or will it materially affect CHH going forward?

Regards,
Bob

Thanks very much.

Q: Shares in WED have been threading water at .03 cents for months. Last summer they sold profitable insurance business acquired from Kingsway financial to Intact financial and distributed proceeds to shareholders. This reduced book value to .05 cents per share. Do you have a opinion or any additional information or future prospects. Thank-you
Best Regards

Q: While *VERY* happy with the performance of my Sylogist (v.syz) holdings, I must say that judging by its web site, it is one of the most non-promotional companies in which I have invested. Not that I am keen on unwarranted hype but sending investors to SEDAR for everything of consequence for instance indicates little desire to attract the attention of investors (but yes it does save on expenses). Perhaps they are saving themselves for the day that they intend to apply for a listing on the TSX. Question: Roughly when do you foresee Sylogist applying to move up to the TSX?
TIA.

Q: Hi Peter, earlier I asked about Alter Nrg and how their $400 million project in Tees Valley could make a big impact in that it will be the first industrial plant that takes in a 1000 tonnes of garbage and the syngas then is cogenerated to produce electricity for 50,000 homes. Trading volume is going up along with the price. Looks like Air Products will be ordering for a second plant shortly. Would you buy Alter Nrg here?
