Q: Glentel down 8% in the past month and now off 12% from the 26.50 takeout price. Is the risk increasing that the deal falls apart or is this just the recent weakness in BCE shares and investors moving on to other opportunities? Also, how would one calculate the current arb opportunity? i.e. what is the actual takeout price based on todays closing price of BCE.
Thanks

Q: Hi,
Would you have any thoughts on this release:

MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates | MDA-TSX | price C$98.50 | Market Perform - Estimates revised. Maintain C$93.00 target price.
 The Com Sat market remains competitive (pricing pressure) and the stronger US$ makes it worse (MDA’s sats are more expensive vs. European competitors).
 A diversified revenue base and an improved cost structure should however help MDA weather the Com Sat pressures as it did in 2014.
 With MDA trading at 10.8x EBITDA, well above space infrastructure peers at 7.6x, we await a better entry point.
 Our target of $93.00 is based on 10x C2016E EBITDA, at a premium to peers given MDA’s stronger margin profile.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,

Sylogist declared quite good results and they did an equity offering for 11 cad. They did a few acquistions too if I am not mistaken. Conventional wisdom states that a company grows by acquistions case in point csu,valient, Amaya so why is sylogist not following. They also increased their dividend what else do they have to do to increase their share value your
comments will be appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

Q: Hi Peter and Co.
I looked at VNP numbers from last night's earnings release and I'm trying to find a positive somewhere in them but I'm struggling mightily. They look pretty awful. I suppose the only positive is that the stock isn't down more today.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Michael

Q: Good morning. I would appreciate your thoughts on bought deal announced today with National Bank selling 9 million shares at $12.60. The shares were selling at $14.00 2 days ago. It almost seems that there is an effort to keep the share price down and the stock is becoming frustrating to hold. With rising AUM and National Bank backstop should there not be shareholder value?
