Q: I am considering selling my 2% position in WSP Global Inc and increasing my 2% position in BYD.UN to 4%.

I am looking for a minimum 15% ROE and I am disappointed with the performance of WSP and BYD has returned over 50% for me. I wonder if I am selling WSP too quickly.

Do you think BYD will have better returns than WSP over the next 3 years?

Q: There is an interesting and cautionary article on Auto Canada by David Milstead (writer for the Globe & Mail) regarding the current structure of the company. The article was in the G&M on Jan 26/15, and may be of interest to members that either own shares of AutoCan or are looking to buy shares.

It can be found by googling "Why I am still cautious on AutoCanada" by David Milstead.

Publish this at your discretion.

Q: I need a transportation stock. I currently only own TRN.US Trinity in that space. I seem to be torn between Trimac and Transforce. They both have high debt but Transforce
Seems a lot more expensive. I prefer to go with the one that has the most potential at their current prices. I realize that Transforce is safer with its size. I respect your opinion, thank you.
