Q: BHP Billiton made a bid for Potash a few years back at over $100 a share. Has the share count changed since that bid? Uf the rumour is true is it possible that BHP Billiton would get involved again. What is a reasonable price to pay to buy Potash that would be acceptable to shareholders?

Any recommendations on how to proceed (assuming one does not currently hold either company) but would be willing to open a position depending on your opinion.
Thanks in advance,
Scot

Q: I am down 51% on Pot, I can hold for 5 years if need be but I am wondering if I should just get out and buy another stock. I am in the money with Atco and since it hit a 52 week high I am wondering if I should just take my profits and buy another stock in the same sector
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
I have small amount of cash left in my TFSA. My current stock holdings are FFH, GIB.A, GUD, SJ, and DEE (less than 1 percent). I would like to deploy it with the hope of a good pop in one of the three stocks 2-5 year timeframe. Which one would make the most sense (HBC, GS or POT)? Much appreciated. Thank you in advance for this reply and other detailed explanations you have provided in the past.

Q: I'm down 30% on POT. It was bought for income but I also wanted to preserve capital. Of course, now they have cut their dividend too. What criteria do you use when deciding to sell a losing stock? What is your recommendation for me (I also own Agrium and am down on that too but I know you prefer it). Thanks!
Q: Hi Peter,
Could you let me know what percentage stake has potash got in sqm
which is a lithum producer and if lithium prices shoot to the roof top is there a possibility of a by out by potash

Q: What do you think about the probability of another dividend cut for POT?
Do you think it is currently a good investment for a buy and hold investor who is looking for income and long term capital growth?

Q: What are your feelings about POT at this time in terms of any risk of a dividend cut or much worse surviving this storm. Thoughts when comparing with Agrium? Late November the CEO said they would not cut jobs but today POT announces 420 job cuts. Normally this could be interpreted 2 ways - 1 of them positive (fiscal prudence) but is there now a management credibility problem?
Q: Do you think the dividend is at risk?
Q: I'm interested in investing in Potash Corp. On Dec.10/15 you stated that it is priced for a dividend cut and in November stated that the company has stated that the dividend is safe down to potash prices of $200 per ton. With potash prices being fairly flat in the $300 per ton range since the latter part of 2013 are you foreseeing a dramatic fall in potash prices to the sub $200 range ? Trading at 10.5 times earnings with a close to 9% yield I find the company tempting. Your thoughts on the company in general ? What are the earnings estimates going forward ? And the safety of the dividend ?
Thanks for all you do.
