Q: Hi Peter any thoughts on Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) here at $18.70? Technically speaking looks ready for a bounce at the very least?? Thanks.

Q: I owned some Berkshire Hathaway B shares some years ago and sold when the stock split. Made a good profit on that trade.The stock has traded in a very narrow range afterwards but seems to be on the move again. Would this be a good time to be buying?
Thanks

Q: Hi, I have not done well with HNL. Bought some near 8 and again near 6 but still underwater. I have read your comments about losing a contract awile back, hold for yield, but it is hard to watch it continue to drop! It is fortunately not a great portion of my portfolio, but I continue to question the hold/sell equation. Thoughts?

Q: HI
can you give an update on what your opinion is on ONE after losing their court case. Do you see any value in this company at all?
thanks

Q: Just a comment re Amaya's earnings. I believe they said at the conference call that they would report in April so that the last quarter of 2012 and the first of 2013 could be compared. Also I believe they said they would give guidance for the whole year at that time. I wonder if the pullback is because the Revel Casino in Atlantic City has filed for bankruptcy protection although one company in difficulty should not bother a whole industry. Joe

Q: Hi Peter and Team

I own Health Lease properties (HLP.UN) at roughly 3% of my portfolio. It is down from my purchase price but at current prices and yield it looks pretty good to me. And I am thinking of buying more. What do you think of the recently announced acquisition and its prospects going forward. Thanks

Q: Hi. I have a few questions concerning buying a convertible bond ETF. There appears to be only one choice, iShare’s CVD, which is an advantaged fund. An apparent alternative, PCD.UN which is also advantaged, will probably be wound up either in September 2014 or earlier. I have several questions.
(1) Is there an alternative way to hold a fund of convertibles while staying away from Canada’s rapacious mutual fund industry.
(2) Both CVD and PCD.UN are trending downwards fairly steeply (for fixed income funds) over the last few months. Is this a good time to be buying convertibles?
(3) CVD will have to at least restructure when the government legislates against such tax avoidance funds. Does this increase the short to medium term risk?
(4) Presumably CVD will have a higher (but fully taxable) yield by about 0.5-0.75% once they restructure since the forward structure costs will disappear. Is this a valid presumption?
