Q: CAD (Colonial Coal) Last summer Desjardins suggested this met coal company with interests in northeast BC was a possible takeover candidate with a price target of $1.35 (since reduced to .95). Price then was .75 but has since dropped to the .35 range, which is just above tangible book. What is your view? Just another best-avoided penny stock, one to keep an eye on or worth a small position at this price?

Q: I currently hold CUD. As it is hedged to the Cdn$, and as I am concerned that the US$ will continue to strengthen, is there a fund that I can buy that tracks the dividend aristocrats in America but isn't hedged? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks

Q: I own CFN and HLF - is it better to sell these after their very large price drops and buy DCI, Paladin or Constellation or just hang on and hope that CFN and HLF rebound. I am especially concerned about CFN after a recent 30% drop - is it more likely to drop another 30% or rebound back to its earlier price. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi again: Partners REIT (PAR.UN), as a shareholder (very modest amount) I'm getting calls at home regarding apparent opposition to the move to internalize management. In theory "internal" management is better alligned with shareholders' interests but presumably that new management also has to do at least as good a job of running things for that to bear fruit. Can you comment on the choice facing shareholders? Any idea who would lead an internal management team and whether they have a good reputation in the space? The stock has been under pressure since the announcement. Buying opportunity? Thanks!

Q: Hi folks: First question: Automodular (AM), earnings were about flat on slightly lower sales than same quarter 2012. Are there signs of growth potential elsewhere in their numbers/story or is this more of a valuation play?
Thanks!

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
My question is about the uranium market generally. Rick Rule from Sprott USA was on BNN last week recommending Uranium Participation Corp (U- TSX) Memories of the terrible tragedy in Japan two years ago are slowly fading and if the Japanese economy picks up they will have to restart the nuclear plants that have been shut down there since 2011. Mr. Rule claims that the spot price of uranium will increase to $80/lb from the present $40. I would appreciate any insights that you could share. Thank you. DL

Q: HI,

Any thoughts on Pure Multi Family REIT RUF.u? A CDN listed US apartment with a 7% plus dividend in USD seems pretty attractive not to mention lower real estate values in the USA?? Missing something?

Q: Hi team, I have a question regarding China's potential housing bubble. I'm seeing more reports and articles about how they are inflating their GDP significantly by building full cities that remain empty. It seems that they are well past where the US was when their housing bubble burst.

Are we looking at a global financial disaster from this, or does their government have this under control?
