Q: Good morning 5i. I'd like your opinion on the just announced bought deal by Carfinco (CFN) this morning. Seems to be 1$ below market price and the way it's set up seems unusual to me. Any thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i - I would like your opinion on DHX Media. Do you see enough earning potential with the recent acquisition to create a position at this time?

Q: XTC
In January 2013 Exco Technologies announced that it is establishing a machining facility in Thailand. I understand that they also have a plant under construction in Brazil. Since your 5i report is May 2012 how do you see Exco performing in the next year and is this a good time to buy?
Thank you for your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, Bonterra, BNE, released their results the other day. Can you please comment as well as your thoughts on the stock based ratios and technicals for the balance of 2013. Could BNE be a good takeover candidate itself and a few names by whom it would fit well with? Also, I continue to hear chatter about oil heading back to $80 level in 2013, any thoughts? Thanks!

Q: Hey peter, what is the best way to gain leverage on a change in gold prices and sentiment? Can you suggest a basket of small gold plays you like? (Maybe 5-10 names, under 500 mill marketcap). Also, what is your take on the 3x etfs such as nugt, uslv and ugld? Thank you

Q: Peter, thanks for all the great help. Do you think the wcs.a deal will close? There is some good premium to be made if it does close as expected. With the auto parts market strong and all signs pointing to it closing, I don't see why is shouldn't

Q: I am intrigued by RPI.UN. No analyst follows it, which can be an advantage at times. They are doing a buy back and yield 8.5%.
What are your thoughts please.

Q: Hi Peter,

I have built a portfolio on potential takeover targets including MCB,SYZ,ESL,DD,PTQ,ET,ENT etc. Is this a good strategy. I dont want your comment on the portfolio, just the strategy whether it would be too risky. Thanks

Q: HI again, I just had some bonds come due and once again am sitting on cash. I am hesitant to buy back into the bond market. It seems an investor has to go out 6 years or more in corporate bonds just to get some yield. So my question is should I bite the bullet and go out 6 + years or more, or perhaps look at an ETF such as XCB or CHB as a replacement. I have also been looking hard at ZWB as an alternative. Thanks for your time.

Q: Hi 5i
Like your opinion of STM (Strathmore minerals). Also the Uranium sector in general, as it relates to the US they used to be a big supplier but are now a big importer of uranium, seems to me it would be politically a good move to at least become self-sufficient in uranium.
