Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
Nevsun has a lot of cash in the bank. Seems to be trading close to cash value. Are there any other similar companies, which have high cash levels, which you think may be good buys in this market. I remenber you providing a list several months ago, whicn included Wi-Lan, so I'm asking for an updated list.
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi Team,
I see the independent review in response to the short report is out. Do you have any concerns especially with the following?
Corporate Processes and Controls
The Committee and its advisors also considered the performance of Intertain's corporate processes and controls and the financial and governance functions and oversight at Intertain. The Committee has made recommendations for changes and improvements in these areas, including to address inadequate documentation, approvals and record keeping in respect of certain payments previously made by Intertain that were recorded and fully expensed by it as transaction expenses in connection with its prior acquisitions.
Thank you, Michael

Q: what do you think of this company for income and growth.
Q: Peter and Team,
I've been a holder of CSU for a number of years, trimming the position as it gets overweight in the portfolio. With the recent down draft, I am at approximately 4% weighting.
Any thoughts on topping up the position and, further, why the big downdraft in the stock now? I have seen these down drafts with CSU leading into earnings announcements in the past only to have them beat and the stock rallies a lot in the following weeks.
Thoughts? Is this a case where we should sell and wait on the sidelines until we see a bottom start to form from a technical perspective and then buy back in?

Q: Further to "February 08, 2016 (asked by patricia)" earlier this morning. I have numerous CAD margin accounts at TD Waterhouse. This is to facilitate selling one stock and then quickly buying another stock without waiting for settlement date. I NEVER have a debit balance in my margin accounts. My understanding is that my stock positions are held in BULK SEG at the brokerage and treated as if the margin account was a Cash account. Can you comment on this. Is there still any danger during a banking crisis??
Q: ANY THOUGHTS ON THE TAKEOVER OF LAKESHORE GOLD-IS THIS A GOOD THING?
Q: 5i Team, other than currency headwinds because results are reported in USD (which should entirely offset when shares are held on TSX) can anyone see what is not to like in the CIG full year results today and explain why the stock did not recover after the recent RBC downgrade to market perform quickly shaved 20% off the stock?
In the result I see: 1. Q4: strong organic local currency revenue growth across the three geographic regions (range 6% - 12%)supplemented by acquisition growth) and strong local currency growth of 8% to 15% across the three business segments. 2. record revenue and net profits (up 16% in Q4 and up 30% full year), the antithesis of an earnings recession plaguing so many companies, 3. an ROE of 58% ($86.1/$149.5), 4. Local currency revenue growth in Q4 of 11% and full year of 18%, 5. Improving margins exceeding double digit goal 6. A P/E multiple of 14x (USD 2.29 eps converted to CDN 3.20 and a CDN 45.00 stock price.
I look forward to your comments and thank you.

Q: Regarding the just announced merger with Tahoe Resources. I currently own LSG.DB in 2 accounts. One account has to be liquidated as it is a source of retirement income. What would your suggestion be so as to try and maximize the proceeds from the sale? Also, I believe that the Change of Control provisions in the September 7, 2012 Trust Indenture (page 10) are applicable - would you be able to ascertain what the revised conversion price (if any)is or does the conversion price remain at $1.40? Thank you for your help in this matter.
Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
TA has bounced over 40% off a new low in the past few weeks. Is there any new news to warrant this or is it just a typical bounce off the bottom. Any reason to think it might go higher or would a smart investor sell into the rally and find better odds elsewhere?
Thanks again!

Q: Mexico's claim against Primero looks pretty flimsy; is today's price slump a buying opportunity? Supposing they came to a compromise with Mexico, wouldn't their low all-in costs, plus some offsetting revenue from their Canadian operations, imply a higher valuation?
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I recently bought this stock, 1.2% of my portfolio.
What do you think of this company, would you recommend me to pump up to 1.5% in view of the recent strength of the sector, though I understand it will take a long time to get recover for this sector.
Thank you for your help.
