Q: Hi, Can you provide some feedback on the recent rally for Below Sun Mines (BSX.) As far as I can tell no new public information has become available. Agnico Eagle Mines is investing in BSX since spring of 2015. Do you see a takeover play by AEM? If yes, would a takeover be positive for BSX share price?

Q: I'm following your sector suggestions for my income portfolio.
I have all sectors bought but Telcos and Cons staples. The Telcos are trading high right now so I'll buy them lower. I'm puzzled with the 15% Consumer Staples for an income portfolio. Except for NWC the average yield is in the 1.30% range and they are trading high in their range. I'm considering omitting the Staples and replacing them with another sector or increasing another sector. The sectors you suggested with their percentages are as follows. Utility 15% Industrial 10% Con Disc 10% Energy 5% Financial 20% Materials 5% Info Tech 5% Health 10% Telco 10% unfilled.
Please provide your comments. Thanks.

Q: From Ryan's blog on Feb. 29 he suggested taking a full position in Canexus or a half position in CUS and half position in SPB. Would you still make this call given the share appreciation of both stocks since your blog. If yes, which would be the better buy. Would SPB a good buy on it's own as it has a nice dividend

Q: Any particular reason why GSY is doing a nosedive this week?
Most or all of this category is up lately. Their volume today far exceeds daily averages & I can't see any reason for the recent drop. Thank you.

Q: I know you generally recommend that anyone who is worried about the market move to cash, but I am curious as to how a professional hedges. When Prem Watsa says that Fairfax is 100% hedged what does that mean? If Fairfax’s market holdings drop 30% does it mean that their hedge will earn them the equivalent amount so that the net will be neutral? Does it work the same if their holdings increase in value? (i.e. any gains would be offset by losses in the hedge) What investment vehicle would Prem Watsa likely be using to hedge and what would the cost likely be in terms of percentage of total holdings?

Q: Airboss (BOS) is taking a beating today. Is this simply normal volatility for a company of this size for news of not meeting forecasts/estimates?
Q: For someone who is looking to get some more small/mid exposure in their portfolio, how do you feel about a switch of CGX for BOS at these levels? Besides the portfolio reason stated, main rationale is that CGX looks a little pricey and BOS looks like a good value. Also want to stay in the Consumer Disc. space with this change to keep balanced.
Q: Hi Peter, I listened 2 hours conference call yesterday and went through the presentation and it seems like to me that their 2016 estimate is lowered because of some headwinds and also some because they want to be conservatives on their estimate. Did you feel the same from their call? Also I don't understand why could not they file 10-K before March 15? Cannot they ask their board committee to work extra hours for review? Or cannot they pay more to PWC to audit it faster? I don't understand the reason? With their lower earnings estimate it seems like they have 3 times 2016 earnings now? Do you think it is a contrarian buy now? What else can be other negative catalyst to take it more down from here? would you suggest to buy for 3 years hold?
Q: I have a 1.2% position,p/p $12.66.Thinking of adding 1% here,due to technical.Please advise.Thanks for your usual great opinion & services.
