Q: Hi, with the tense political situation between Iran and west, and that they did not come to an agreement in last week meeting in Moscow, there is a sanction for Iranian oil export to Europe scheduled to commence on July first. With this assumption that oil will go up due to the sanction, I am shorting TSE:HOD with a 5% cost of burrowing. I am considering that contango effect on the etf will be on my side too. What is your thought? Thank you

Q: Peter
re :WND
I have questioned a lot lately some investments in the US because right or wrong,i thing there is a negative bias against Canadian companies. I used to own Romarco (sold), it went through extremely stringent requests for permitting and always when it seemed everything was fine. Ditto for tso3(sold) which i gave up 3 days ago. Ditto for Western Wind(sold) as they have not received their $9000000 in federal compensation which was supposed to arrive 90 days after documents were filed. I am expecting request for further documentation even if the manager of their investor relationship guaranteed me there was no problem. Ditto for Duluth (sold).
It may be creepy but so much is going on those days..
You can publish if you want. Up to you..

Q: Re: MT, Miranda Tech - I offered my shares at the offer price and am surprised that the order was filled. Is this usual or does it indicate that there might be a competing bid?

Q: Peter, A question regarding book value. If a stock is below its book value say like CTU.A, could it not make it a wise investment longer term should one feel the future value of the company could rebound or be bought out? I'm not saying it will be, but trying to understand the roll of book value vs. share value when evaluating stocks. I guess RIM would be a similar case. Interested in your thoughts.

Q: re: Neptune (NTB on the TSX)

This company has been pumped for years, but seems to be developing a niche in the nascent nutraceutical krill oil market (offering strong competition to the huge and traditional fish oil
supplement market). It has however disappointed in the functional food market (no deal with Nestle or Yoplait, which were touted for years - and an anemic relationship, so far, with Bayer).

My question is (I am off the opinion that their nutraceutical business is a long-term winner) if their subsidiary Acasti does NOT prove successful in their clinical trials with their prospective pharmaceutical, Capre, what would the fair market value be of NTB shares likely be (the share price is pumping upward, as I type).

Thanks....
