Q: Hi Peter and Team,

In my RRIF,I have 1425 shares of ABT with an average cost of $9.7042. (ABT closed today at $8.33).

In today's mail, I received an "Offer to purchase for cash, up to $50,000,000 in value of its common shares at a purchase price of not less than $7.75 and not more than $9.00 per common share". If I want to accept the tender offer, I need to inform my broker by Sept. 30.

I am confused as to what course of action I should take, or should I do nothing and hope that this share buyback will increase the value of my shares, hopefully above $9.7042? It's obvious that I bought high, and would feel better if I was able to sell at at least for what I paid. Or is ABT's range for this tender too low, and they think that the stock isn't worth any more than $9.00, and I should tender my shares for $9.00 in their "Dutch Auction"? (The other alternative offered by Absolute is to let them determine the price which could be as low as $7.75 or as high as $9.00).

Sorry for such a convoluted question, and as always, await your timely advice.

Q: Dear Gentlemen,
I want to re-balance PF by adding in Tech sector, 6 %. From 12 to 18%
I hold these stocks in different PF: AVO 3%, GIB.a 1%, CSU 4.2%, DSG 2%, OTC 1.5%,
For a balanced medium aggressive PF, your suggestions, adding new stocks or increasing actual stocks?
Thank You
Best Regards

Q: After its recent price drop, which seems to have been more market related, the valuation of SIMO looks attractive (ROE=19%, no long term debt, P/E=12.8, Forward P/E = 9 and a 2.36 % dividend). Would you agree?

Q: Hi Peter and the team, ABT is showing strength today as it's up a bit over 9%. Is this due to the deal signed between Absolute and AMD (the chip maker)? I'm not complaining, as ABT has been quite a laggard lately. What are your thoughts and/or recommendations going forward? Thanks in advance as always for the timely and valuable advice.

Q: TSM pays about 3.5% div and it was a slow Eddy and gave me a 70% return since 2011. For this year to date it has lost 5.9%. This is in my RRSP. Cy (Cypress Semi) is much smaller and I think it has a much better growth potential, and it also pays a 4% dividend.I am a semi retired aggressive investor. Do you think this is a good swap?
