Q: Regarding Hector's question on T1135 filing on 120K of USD holding.

Just a reminder to be careful when considering "value", the 100K filing requirement is not based on current market value but the cost amount or ACB, it includes cash and only applies to non-registered account, the amount is based on an individual basis, i.e. value in joint account has to be calculated separately.

Q: We have done very well on this name, so it has become one of our top holdings from a very modest position. It just had its best 6 month on the chart. Are the fundamentals all there? I like the idea of their mobile phone offering : Ting. I think one of the big names might like to buy them to take them of their oligomarket, this is my reason for having kept so far. Your opinion is valued, always.

Q: One report I read stated that to finance the acquisition PKI would issue 24 million shares to raise $660 million. That works out to $27.50 per share and the shares are currently trading near $31. In one of your earlier responses you also mentioned that shares would be issues at a discount. It would almost make sense for anyone like me who holds PKI to sell now into the market and buy back at the new issue price. Your thoughts?

Q: I am always leery of a company where the insiders do not have any or perhaps very few common shares--Instead they have--options--multiple voting shs--performance share units--subordinate voting shs etc.Common shs mean to me you got some skin in the game--I dont understand all these other classes of shs---TOY is a good example of this.I dont like options thats no commitment at all and hurts the share price.Should I be concerned about these other classes of shares? What do they all mean?
Thanks--I have just had your portfolio review and find it very helpful--would reccommend it to any body.

Q: Hi, I have the above stock in non registered account. As of today I lost $4000 US , bought it at 102 and now $67 $ US. What do you recommend? Sell it and claim loss or wait till it recover or add more to it. I added to it when it became $70 US. But it seems it is not doing well. I appreciate your ultimate decision on it or if there is any US solid stocks that you recommend. Thanks

Q: Hi, So, another good little company gets swallowed up, what would you do know, sell now, and if so any suggestions as to what to buy to replace what was to be a long term hold, or just hold the cash until something juicy comes along, like freshi?
