Q: Hi,
Just a question on Chesswood in light of the new CDN interest rate cuts-
Chesswood reports in CDN though it does much business in the US, and
it is interest rate sensitive, with a high dividend- with all of these now positive factors in mind, why is the stock still struggling? Seems like a no brainer purchase.
Thanks for your input.

Q: Hi, as much as I love the place I find it hard to believe that a ski resort can actually make money in the long term. Would you consider WB a buy right now? I'm interested in the long term sustainability of it's dividend. On a side note, I understand they generate a significant portion of their annual electrical requirements from internally owned, water driven facilities.
