Q: More of a rant than a question...
“...In the run-up to Facebook’s $16-billion IPO, Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter on the deal, unexpectedly delivered some negative news to major clients: The bank’s consumer Internet analyst, Scott Devitt, was reducing his revenue forecasts for the company. The sudden caution very close to the huge initial public offering, and while an investor roadshow was underway, was a big shock to some, said two investors who were advised of the revised forecast...”
So you’ve got the lead underwriter dumping on it a day before launch................
It had a P/E of 118.........................
Even at $ 0.30 cents it would have a market cap of $1 BILLION! It’s got a long way to fall. It was down almost 20% in the first 2 days of trading....Some institutions were shorting it DAY ONE.
Youtube went for $1.65 Billion.
But then Google was flagged as ridiculous at $300 8 years ago....It’s now $600............................

Q: re: Fiera Capital (FSZ)
Well, with Investor Group coming out with a reduction in fees to combat investor resistance/redemptions, and with continued market weakness/worries, one would think that fsz's share price will languish for a period of time...
Would you recommend that the long-term investor (a 5i-type of investor) should accumulate these shares at this time - or put such purchases on the back burner awaiting positive quarterly reports.
Thanks, as always ;)

Q: Your coverage is intended to be limited to the Canadian market. In order to diversify could you recommend a high-quality mutual fund that invests in global equities? I have been looking at the Mawer Global Small Cap Fund. Do you have any guidelines as to how much of one's portfolio should one have invested in Canada? Personally, I am appx. 20 years away from retirement and intend on retiring in Canada. Thanks Peter!
Q: Do you have an update for Leon's? It seems to just be generating enough earnings to cover the dividend now? ($.12 and $.10 respectively). I know that it is tough to look at only one quarter but earnings have fallen in the quarter for each of the last two years and annual earnings are down over the last year. My concern is how will it fund its expansion plans? Thanks Peter!
Q: Hi Peter..do you have any information on MAG Silver (MAG.T).

Q: Hello Peter:
Several, perhaps many, months ago I believe I saw an article in the Globe ROB in which you spoke (positively) about Primary Corp (PYC) issuing it's first ever dividend. What are your thoughts about this company today?
Thanks,
Don

Q: Peter,
MT is going to make a decision within the next 30 days or so about any future steps. Do you think they would have any concrete offers to work with? Just that the companies that have decided not to pursue strategic alternatives have recently been punished badly? I hope that is not the case with MT. Also if there is an offer what would be a reasonable range as analysts have recently downgraded the stock to just 12 dollars.

Q: In the beginning of January, 2010, on the advice of my broker I bought CJT @ $10 a share.....I have held it through thick and thin (mostly thin) ever since.....the stock does pay a good dividend and has raised it recently but still not enough to regain original investment....my question is: at a share price of aroung $6.60, should I double up on it and hope for an $8 price when the economy picks up, or just hold what I have until same? Thanks Peter.
Q: David Burroughs often talks about using point and figure charts to set his stop loss points. For those not so technically savvy, do you have any opinion of sites such as Smart Stops, or the use of stops at all for that matter. Thanks Jeff
Q: Again with Boston Pizza . A pullback again yesterday . Should I view this as an opportunity and add some more ?
Q: Hi Peter, Quetzal Energy I've had since .10 cents last year can it get back there so I can sell it and get back my investment, would you average down to get the average cost lower to sell or would you sell and move on. By any great miracle is there any hope?
