Q: With the seemingly increasing scrutiny over crude being shipped via rail, could this have a negative impact on EFN's growth prospects? One of their largest growth areas seems to be in railcar leasing. On the topic, are there other companies that may be especially at risk due to this? I wouldn't be surprised if new regulations come in to limit the use of DOT-111. One article I read said that this could cause a large expense for leasing companies - if they need to upgrade their fleet.

Q: AAPL: Apple. Down 7% or so today. Icahn buys another $500 M. Is the market right or is Icahn right? I had been holding on to my Apple shares expecting better results. Is there another US stock with better potential (e.g. Qualcomm) for me to switch into or should patience rule the day for a while yet?

Thanks.

Q: ERF Enerplus has done really well in the past year. I still expect quite a bit more due to their significant growth in production in the US. Question is the Ex-dividend date is Feb 3, the record date is Feb 5. What is the purpose of the ex-dividend date being different than the record date. Is it the record date that counts as to whom gets the dividend.

Q: Peter - It looks like this downturn in the markets may go on for sometime. I never knew that the chinese shadow banking system was worth $7 trillion dollars and now analysts are actively saying that it is only a matter of time before one of these banks goes under. That should be a real treat to the market. With Argentina etc. things look like it could be very nasty for awhile. I know you would say that we should hold tight but there must be a hedging system that we can use either with US or Canadian money to protect ourselves. What do you recommend as a strategy to protect ourselves.
