Q: Hi Peter, Could you please review CCT as it compares to ESRX. Are they direct competitors? Do they both have good upside? With regard to Obamacare is it better to buy American?
Thanks/Mark

Q: On March 26 @ 9:00 a.m. I had asked a question. It did not get answered. Perhaps it didn't go through. With my online account, my paid financial subscription and Globe Investor, I do not find out near the information I receive from you. I have a small US dollar account so could you supply me your take of which of these companies would be the best for growth or if you have a better one to suggest. ORAN, LEE, HCLP, ATVI and NCR. Thank you very much. Dennis

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Just wondering if you could comment on the recent decline in Bank of Internet (BOFI) stock. I am currently slightly below my break even point. It is close to a RSI of 30. Would this be a good time to sell or buy?

Q: These are two US companies. It seems to me that the US market is doing better so I seem to buy more of their securities. ARWR is a stock I hold and dropped 13% on Friday. Please give me an opinion. AKS is another one. Looks like it is doing good. Please give me an opinion. I am thinking of buying it. On the Canadian side, I noticed on Mar. 20th BYD.B dropped to 32.5. The next day, it was up over 37. What created that drastic swing? Thank you. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Q: I like Ryan Modesto's recommendation to invest in tobacco companies as a play on medical marijuana. Any in particular? Spread it out over PM, RAI, MO, LO? Others? Maybe the individual investor can build a small "etf" by adding one or two risky companies? Recent inheritances put $100k U.S. in the bank, and I could reasonably dedicate it to this sector, even though I don't need the income from the tobacco dividends. Thank you.

Q: I would like your thoughts on GNC Holdings (GNC-US).

I have gone through the financials and they look great. Earnings and profit growth are strong, company is buying back shares, margins are increasing this year and I think they are in an industry that should really benefit from an aging population that is becoming more and more aware of personal health. My only concern is their use of long term debt but with rates low, maybe this is a smart managerial move? Thoughts?

Q: Star Gas SGU. It has been a couple of years since someone queried this one. Has this worked its way into your good books? It has a nice 5.7% yield. I am looking for a SGY type of stock on the US market. If you can't recommend this one, is there another that you could suggest.

Thanks again.

Q: I know you do not cover us stocks , however your opinion is valued.
I own GNW 5% of my portfolio, which has done fairly well over the last couple years. Where do you see GNW in the next 4 years. Is it worth holding or take profits and move on .

Thanks for your exceptional service.
