Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: This is a comment on your answer to Harold question. I am going to hold on my TWX shares. The stock rose less than 9% on the news. Based on today's prices, if the deal goes thru, it values AT&T at about $ 26. It seems to me that the market is not expecting this deal to materialize. I know two years ago a take over proposal of much less value didn't materialize and since I am not a trader I see the risk reward scenario favors holding on my shares. It looks to me that TWX is in play if not with AT&T it would be with somebody else. I as the other members value your opinion on this.

Q: According to an article in the Globe, HBC has real estate assets estimated at $30/share. Would this satisfy the value investor thought on buying something for $0.50 that is worth $1.00? What are your thoughts currently on HBC and if held for 5+ years, do you think the real estate will be restructured as a REIT?

Q: Hearing much talk about Mar1juana becoming legal shortly in a number of US states as well as here in Canada which could possibly drive up the stock price of some of the small companies now involved, in both countries.
Do you have any suggestions as to what companies are listed on both markets that could benefit greatly.
Many thanks for all your great help. Don't know what I would have done without it last few years.

Q: Can you comment on earnings.

Can you comment on earnings please.

CPX is about 2% of my portfolio. I have owned it for about three years approx and I am up slightly on my investment plus the dividends of course.

Is there positive consensus that they will get sufficient compensation for closing coal plant early?

What is your current rating on the company? I am a buy and hold guy.

Thank you
Stephane

Q: HI Peter,
I have small positions in the three companies: ECI, ALA, and ACQ. I would like to reduce my holdings to two. I am looking for income and capital appreciation. I was thinking of selling Enercare and putting the proceeds to Altagas and leaving ACQ the way it is. Please advise. Thank you.

Q: Hi, I have shares in Peabody energy which filed chapter 11 earlier in the year. Once listed with the "Q" designation, the shares lingered in the $1.50 range for about six months until the past week where they sky rocketed to what it is currently at $13.50.

Do you have an idea what machinations cause a ch11 stock to go this high? Also should I take advantage of this pop and sell my existing shares?

I read that once a ch11 company climbs out of bankruptcy they can issue new shares making existing common shares worthless. Is it possible that peabody may not do this?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, I am very curious how bankruptcies work.

Thank You,
Andrew
