Q: Hi Guys, Is there a trading tool you know of where I can back-test a trading hypothesis to see it's success? For example, what I would test today is to examine the trade (long) success of buying equity in a company where the current share price trades at a discount to a bought deal financing such as the one announced today (@22.25). With many many thanks again

Q: Hi.
Peter mentioned Evert Technologies in the weekend National Post. I can't find the company on 5i site. Do you cover this stock and what do you think of it as an income/dividend growth stock.
Thank you David.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, We have two positions of SYZ: one position in a RRIF and another position in a RRSP. We have made money in both, but SYZ has been lagging lately. How would you feel about replacing one of these positions with ABT which seems to be doing better presently?
Would it matter which position was swapped? Thanks in advance for the timely advice.

Q: Hi Peter & team

I am trying my best to makes heads OR tails out of the ComCast TWX merger, whether it will or will not receive approval from federal regulators, and what each outcome will mean moving forward.

Presently, I am up over 34% not including an OK dividend. And I think I have an idea what to expect if the merger proceeds... as per one article I read "As part of the deal, Time Warner Cable investors will receive 2.875 of Comcast stock for each of their shares." A nice windfall for sure.

Today one analyst reported the merger has only a 60% chance of approval, and another lowered the odds of the deals approval to 70% from 80%. And ComCast is down 1.53% today on the news.

To be honest I don't think I have a choice but to hang in there as an positive decision (expected summer 2015) is far to juicy if approval is received.

My questions... with your resources what are you hearing and what are your thoughts about this merger' chance of going ahead?

And if it doesn't what do you think that will do to the share price for TWX?

And finally, what would you do in my situation?

As always after renewing my subscription for the first time... thanking you for all you do

Gord
