Q: I read with regret your article about fraudsters.
Unfortunately I got caught up in a stock that crashed, the true reason not yet known.
Sino Forest is sitting at about 7% of its original value when s#!+ hit the fan.
I'm not even sure if I can even sell what I have at this point.
Could you shed some light on this stock, and if you think there might be some light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep up the good work!

Q: What are your views on Donnycreek Energy? (DCV-V). Stocks had a wild ride from <$2 to $3 dollars now back to $2.15 all in the span of 2-3 months.

With the PP coming free trade on Feb 15th, do you attribute the recent share price decline to people front selling ahead of the PP? Or something else?

Q: Hi folks, thanks for your helpful replies. I'm considering BMO's preferred share ETF, ZPR. It holds only rate reset pfds and uses a 5 year ladder. I think it would be a safe investment with a decent yield. I was poking around a few sites and came across prefinfo.com in which the following is noted about it's Malachite Aggressive Preferred Fund. "...for instance it is not required to hold such classes of shares as floating rate issues which are expected to underperform in the foreseeable future." I was of the view that the reset to a floating rate provides a mechanism to maintain the yield, provided the rate is somewhere in the range of 3% over a 5 year Canada, which is fairly common. What do you think about the reset factor as it pertains to yield and of the ZPR? Thanks Tim....

Q: Currently, the oil patch future in Canada is largely predicated on the availability of more pipeline transportation. In this regard, is it a safe bet to invest in ENB,TRP and, to a lesser degree, in IPL.UN ? If so, which one is more promising, and why ? In addition, do you think that approval of the Keystone pipeline is a sure bet (likely to be announced in late March) ?
