Q: Peter,

Can you take a look at Entrec Transportation Systems Inc. (ENT). Looks like nice growing small cap name in the oil service space (heavy hauling and lifting).

Thanks,

Geoff

Q: Parkland Fuel (PKI). I am just starting to take "ownership" of my portfolio and I hardly have financial analyst skills. However, I noticed the following about Parkland:
- it is trading near its 52 week high
- it had over $200 million in intangibles on its balance sheet
- its P/E ratio seems high and the forward P/E is less
- its dividend exceeds its profit. I don't really understand the theory of ignoring non-cash expenses in determining an appropriate distribution amount, unless the actual requirement for repair/replacement is less than the recorded distribution.

Am I being too cautious?

Q: re: Sterling Resources (SLG), a stock well known (and once loved by Sprott) has experienced many bumps in the road - and great resultant volatility in the share price....with yet another opernation glitch (cost over-run and delay in the development of the Breagh field) is it time to throw in the towel on this company - or do you feel they will eventually realize their greatly touted potential (romania, netherlands, etc)...

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter. Keep up the excellent work. I am interested in starting to accumulate a position in gold/silver bullion. I was looking at Central Fund of Canada (CEF.A.TO). As far as I know, it is a closed-end fund which is equally weighted between gold & silver and has typically traded for a 5-10% premium to net asset value. Today, it is available for a 2% discount to net asset value (which I assume is because investor sentiment is just brutal). Do you generally like closed-end bullion funds like this one or would you prefer the open-ended bullion funds like GLD & SLV instead? I must admit the gold bugs have got me worried about the open-ended ones as they question whether you can be certain the etf is really backed by physical bullion. Do you think that is a legitimate concern or something not to worry about?

Thanks
Anthony

Q: Your thoughts on Madalena Ventures (MVN-V)? They announced a bought deal in Feb. at $1.25 and recent news in Argentina nationalizing parts of the oil industry is obviously bad news. That being said, it appears they have great assets, have satisfied the requirements of the ARG government and are close to profitability. Does this look like a good entry point in the low $0.40's?
