Q: Good Morning Peter & team,

Have read two articles this morning - Seeking Alpha & Daniel Miller - both prognosticating F could be a $35+ stock in a year - 2 years time.

Their forecast goes to the fact F has poured a considerably amount of cash into their ailing Pension Fund over the past 3 years with that lessening moving forward increasing cash flow significantly. They also speak to a decreased cost base by a reduction in the platforms being used, and despite China not necessarily being tremendously healthy right now, it still generated almost 4 million more in new car sales than the US, that this should only increase in the coming years, and that the majority of these sales were in the more profitable SUV/PU.

You mentioned in your answer Feb 11 you felt F was better than GM as far as being a keeper but, you also mentioned it was a little expensive.

Has your opinion changed at all since then? Do you still consider it expensive? Would you be comfortable recommending F as a buy? And finally is there anything else we should know before taking a new position in F today?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: I have a sizeable position in Qcom and I am under water in what I accepted to be a cyclical stock. After all the damage done in China , and after holding out against Asian competitors coming from all sides , it seems that Intel is going to be swooping in on the Apple . Is losing the iPhone chip business going to murder the stock price of Qcom ? ( I am still hurting big time from my GTAT loss ) .... Would you be a Seller here ? Thanks,

Q: Hi all,
ISSI a small us tech company is taken over by a consortium. ISSI Enters Into A Definitive Merger Agreement To Be Acquired By Consortium For $19.25 Per Share

Following the announcement I received roughly 15 email alerts of law firms launching investigations of the deal. This seems to confirm the feeling I have - 20% premium over Wednesday price isn't much.

Now what to do? I worry if I hold and the deal collapse investors will punish the stock due management not working in shareholders best interest. Any chance of better deal in this case? Thanks

Q: I own 275 shares and thinking to sell, reasons are I don't shop there at all and when I have, I find it time consuming and confusing. Is that a valid reason or should I just go by the numbers- revenue, balance sheet and so forth...

Q: Hey Peter & Team

recently Insider Money reported that John Paulson at the end of 2014 purchased a significant number of shares (9 mill) in MNK. Since then the share value has seen a 21% appreciation and in the past year, shares have increased by by over 45%.

As a retail investor, it is becoming obvious we are the dummies out here and that hedge fund managers and the like are getting information well ahead of us.

Is there a way us little people are able to get a hold of information like this in real time?

And how should we be using the 5i site to get concurrent information on companies that have a change which will effect share values

And what are your thoughts on MNK moving forward?

Any www sites you can provide that might help us understand what big/smart money is doing in real time would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all you do

gm

Q: CLCT has recently pulled back a bit after a nice run. What is your current opinion of purchasing this US small-cap stock now as a 1 - 3 yr hold, and how well covered is their (rather juicy!) dividend?

Thanks!

Q: Regarding Linda's question on washing within RRSP. RBC Direct for a few years now, has both US and Canadian currency accounts in RRSP, TSFA and all other accounts. Thus when you trade US securities they stay in US $ and you are not hit with currency exchanges coming and going. I find this feature a huge advantage.
