Q: How much of a threat, mid to longer-term, do you feel the following will pose for Magna? First, sharing services Uber and Lyft, and second, developed country younger generation's disinclination for purchasing cars. Will higher demand for vehicles in developing countries outweigh the above, and is Magna well positioned to continue to do well as a Tier 1 supplier to the industry? Thank you. Ted

Q: Just a note first, I'm pretty sure the short interest is under 8 million on 133,500,000 shares, which is quite different than the 20% the previous guy mentioned, unless my source is garbage. But I don't think so...question: hiw low do you think this could possibly go? For example, oil remains low and US has a minor recession along with slowing of Chinese growth effecting market sentiment and dumping risky assets continues... Like $9-10 it hits rock bottom? Book value is close to $15-16. Do you believe management is heading in the right direction, or are they possibly hurting the Stars brand name? Sorry for the multiple questions.

Q: I assume in your below response to my question on what to to add you meant to say DSG would be a better compliment to CSU(already held) vs ESL?

'We would be comfortable with all three; But ESL looks good to us, now $11 below its high.
DSG might though be a better complement to a holding of DSG, and it is also cheaper on a valuation basis.'

Q: Hello Peter,

Could you please provide an insight on how stock prices tend to behave when a private placement is announced as in case of Tio Networks. Does it kind of set a floor? Does the price trend down after the closing date of Jan 28. I have been keeping an eye with the intention of taking a position but given its fast rise and the present market conditions, have been apprehensive of doing it right now.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: MacDonald Dettwiler stock has been thro' quite a roller coaster ride during 2015, trading as high as $101 and touched a low of $71. Most believe this company to have a fairly unique business with niche is specialized satellite technology catering to Private/Government customers in civil and defence area. Last quarter was a bit soft due to slow satellite orders, which seems to be stabilizing if recent contract wins are any indication. You rate MDA as A- which is one of your highest ratings. I have just re entered the stock due to its dividend and capital growth prospects over next several years. What is your current opinion on this company with special comments on future growth and competition? Thanks

Q: You indicated in the December 21, 2015 report on CXI that dollar volumes declined because of the 20% appreciation of the US dollar. How does the value of the US dollar have an effect on the volume of currency transactions? If there is such a connection, are we to assume that CXI will be in the doldrums as long as the US dollar remains strong in relation to other currencies?
