Q: Hi;

As WGL is trading significantly under the bid price by ALA for takeover, is buying WGL in an RRSP - USD account a smart play or is there still too much downside risk if the deal does not go through?

Q: Hi 5i team,

Can you help to compare and comment on Square Inc (SQ) and First Data Corp(FDC)? these two company looks working on the similar business and 2 years ago they were similar price and FDC was even higher at some point. FDC revenue is nearly 4 times higher than SQ while market cap is much smaller. Another question is why FDC has so many debt $19.2B, much higher than their total cash of $500M. Maybe this is one of the reason that hurts their stock price ?

Thanks,

Adam

Q: GLW.us recently raised its dividend, action that seems to have taken most analysts by surprise. Are you aware of possible reasons for the analyst commune to be puzzled? Has the company struggled or is there some reason why share price is up only some 3 % in 12 months? I have always been too slow to sell and ask this question to decide whether funds are better deployed elsewhere. If the latter do you have a suggestion, please?

Q: I have 3 big losers in my US account, MITT, IPCI and IVR. MITT and IVR pay good dividends and the stock price loss over the last few years has been mitigated by the great dividend. I would like to sell each of these stocks and buy a good US growth ETF. These are the only stocks I have in the US account. Can you suggest a good ETF? I am retired so any one with a dividend would be nice but not essential.
Thanks for your great service

Q: Do you think this stock will perform well once its public?

If yes, do you think it would be wise to get in right away or let it marinade a bit before investing?

Q: This is to add to a member query about attending the AGM in Omaha. I went about 20 years ago and the event was huge. Too large for the one hockey sized arena. There were over 20,000 people then, and it was like attending a religious revival. Most of Berkshire's companies have product displays at the event, which 20 years ago was split between at least two large venues. There usually is a Q&A with Charlie and Warren but good luck asking a question. There are shareholder events, like attending the minor league baseball game, the team Warren owns personally.
