Q: Hi Knowledgeable People:
Could you give me a quick 101 on CAP RATE? I believe it is the opposite of PE Ratio. So often on BNN I hear them talking about a cap rate of 6 or 10 etc. Do they mean 6%? Is a property with a cap rate of 12 more desirable than one with a 4% rate? Also, do you have any information on San Juan Basin Royalty Trust? I do not believe that it is an MLP ( which I want to avoid). I am concerned about tax reporting of trust income to the IRS. Probably a US Tax return would be required. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks very kindly,

BEN

Q: What are your current thoughts on HFR ? I have cash sitting in a bank savings account earning virtually nothing. I am thinking that HFR is a safe bet to put some of that cash and earn a little more interest than I am getting at the Bank and still be relatively safe.

Q: Regarding Sherritt (S-T), with it sitting at about $3 dollars, when does this company go from being a value stock to a value trap or is this the case already?
I know that this is a sum of the parts company, how does one play this, or should I give up and bail out?

Q: Constellation Software's (CSU) press release yesterday seemed to confirm that CSU may be undergoing a new growth phase which will see it take on very large deals through the utilization of stand alone debt financing. The stock price has moved up sharply and on high volume. I am wondering if this new strategy will attract a new class of large institutional shareholders? Many thanks, Peter

Q: I lost a lot of money on Apple when it fell from $640 but I sold at $540 and bought back in at $490 on the way back up. I think it is a GREAT company with solid earnings growth and a low P/E but the market has a hard time giving it the same kind of respect that it gives Google, Amazon, Twitter etc.
What do you think about the stock for the next year and what would make you sell it?
Thanks,
Ken
