Q: This is for the person who accidentally bought CNR on the New York exchange instead of Toronto. With dual-listed stocks, you can have it moved from the US side of your account to the Canadian side, or vice versa. You will therefore not lose anything on currency conversions. I have done this in my TD Waterhouse account both ways. As well, if you have a Canadian stock you want to sell, and were going to convert the proceeds to US cash, if the stock in dual-listed, just transfer it to the US side to sell. That way, you avoid the 2-3% currency conversion fee that TD Waterhouse charges.

Q: Hello team,

I am looking to start an RRSP account with about $25,000 with a maximum growth objective, being fairly comfortable with volatility. Could you please give me your thoughts on the list of stocks below? Is this a good diversified mix? Should I buy at current levels or wait for a pull back on the ones nearing 52 week high? Please feel free to suggest alternatives.
Here is my list:
AVO; BPY.UN; GIB.A; WSP; HLF; TELUS (or GIL); WCP; BDI; MDA.

Thanks as always,

BK

Q: I caught glimpse of your most recent Top Picks on BNN the other day via BNN's after-show email to me. I am puzzled why you choose to release your top picks to the general public first, and not to your subscribers at all? I had to hunt down your BNN top picks via another web site as I couldn't even find much recent info about them on 5iresearch.com

- have I missed something? :-(

Q: Hi Peter & Team;

I have been looking at the Clarke Inc Company website, Sedar, and your site on this Company. I see a small investment mgmt Company with an ROE of around 30, 5 yr CAGR in the 40's, ttm diluted eps, just from continuing ops of $3/sh...total ca of $77M (close to $4/sh)...debt of only $2.7M...buying back shares...but a P/E of only about 3? Yes, the eps (continuing ops only) prior to the ttm was variable, and the portfolio is a dog's breakfast...but the new CEO seems to be cleaning up the portfolio. Shouldn't this stock command a little more respect than PE=3?
Q: Have (any of) you personally met the current CEO, and the Exec Chairman...and, if so, what is your opinion of them?
Q: In your opinion, is their a missing piece...or misfit, on the mgmt team?
Q: If you had to put an intrinsic value on CKI right now, what would that be?

Thanks for your input;
