Q: Greetings, Peter and Co.
I have been trying to evaluate the MacDonald Dettwiler-Digital Globe merger. The termination fee arrangements appear to be compelling for Digital Globe and punitive for MDA. The SEDAR filing appears to require a much larger break fee for MDA and there appear to be many events that could trigger the $150 million break fee.
Can you clarify if this agreement is as bad as I interpret it to be?
My family and I are MDA investors and were considering adding to our holdings.
With appreciation
Ed

Q: Can you give me your thoughts on Parklands just released Q4 report. While they seem to rave about the increase in cash flow, in fact it went down by a penny on a per share basis and they gave a very small increase in the dividend this year. I am holding on hoping that the big acquisition that will close in Q2 2017 will give a big boost to cash flow. Your thoughts please on both the earnings and the acquisition...

Q: Hi Peter and Team, In the Financial sector of our combined accounts, we hold only one stock that's down - CXI - held in my TFSA - which is down by 21%. We also hold BMO, BNS, GSY, SLF, and ZBK, which are all nicely in the black. I know you believe that CXI has long-term potential, but since it doesn't pay a dividend while 'waiting', I'm considering selling it. Which of our other holdings in this sector would you recommend adding the proceeds of a possible sale of CXI? As always, thanks in advance for your insight and advice.

Q: Hi,

I previously owned MDA and sold for a small loss, but am increasingly interested in getting back in. My question is about MDA's ability/experience/success integrating take overs. I understand they took over another US company a number of years ago. Could you tell me how big that was ($$ terms) and how successful, in your opinion, they've been in integrating the company?

Thanks,

Cam
