Q: Re: Questrade and Don's request, I signed on with them four years ago when they were perennially the Globe's # 1 rated online broker. No regrets. Their transaction pricing is slightly higher than what I pay with the junior 1/3 of my portfolio at CIBC but Questrade's portfolio analysis and research is first rate and worth a few extra bucks per year. Not a single website crash and on the infrequent occasion when I have needed them customer service was top notch.

Q: Interested in your thoughts on ANY Sphere 3d. Seems to be putting all the right pieces in place to have some serious potential. Market seems to really like this company. Your thoughts on management too please. Any plans to cover this company in the near term understanding it does have more risk than most companies covered. I know there are quite a few members looking for a little torque for a small position. Thanks

Q: for an aggressive portfolio of about $18,000.00 do you think four equal investments of enghouse (esl), dhx media,(dhx), surge energy,(sgy), and sylogist,(syl), would be too risky for a five year time horizon, the money was a surprise inheritance, thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team, as a follow up to P/BRD question, I was hoping for some thoughts on the following as well but did not phrase my question accordingly. Any possibility that Goldcorp, G, would put Primero into play for the balance of the company they don't already own?

From the proposed transaction;

The proposed transaction will be completed pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement and will require approval by at least 66% of the votes cast by the shareholders of Brigus at a special meeting. The issuance of Primero common shares in connection with the proposed transaction will require the approval of a majority of the shareholders of Primero voting at a special meeting. Goldcorp Inc., which holds approximately 27% of the outstanding Primero common shares, has agreed to vote in favour of the proposed transaction. The directors and senior officers of each of Primero and Brigus have also entered into support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote in favour of the proposed transaction. It is anticipated that the shareholder meetings will be held in February 2014. Full details of the proposed transaction will be included in management information circulars to be mailed to the shareholders of Primero and Brigus as soon as practicable.

Any thoughts on SpinCo and its assets?

Thanks!

Q: My question is regarding Andrew Peller, ADW.A - They just reported their earnings and a few takeaways are a decline in gross margins, ebita down from 2013 as well as EPS. What is your take on the quarter? I do not own shares yet as its on my watchlist. Lastly, can you elaborate on the definition of shareholder equity. It is noted at $9.89 per share, would this be the equivalent to book value? Thanks!

Q: In response to Don re: Questrade, I have been using them for a couple of years and am happy with them. I use them only as a trading platform and therefore cannot comment on their research or other "bells and whistles". They are cheap and everything can is done on-line. Hope this helps.
