Q: I bought some Glentel at 12.80 and have watched it slowly go down these last few weeks. Would you continue to hold this? I am considering selling and buying some K-Bro. Should I at least wait for a bounce with Glentel?

Q: I have purchased a decent position in Tricon (TCN) at around $7.70. I like the long term prospect for this company but it has trended lower lately although it's rise from $4 has been significant. You mentioned updating the report on this company in the future. What do you see in a three year time horizon?
Thank you.

Q: I notice that last year, FSV's (First Service Corp) Q1 was the weakest quarter of the year. It looks to be the same for 2014, with a current projection for Q1 2014 of 13 cents a share but increasing substantially thereafter. What is the reason for this and what are your expectations for the Q1 earnings that will be reported later this month?

Q: Helathlease Properties HLP.UN has released a new offering of $50mil in new units @ $10. I currently do not have any REITs and the 8.5% dividend at this price looks quite attractive. Would this be a good time to buy HLP or do you see any hidden concerns with HLP in specific or the Health/REIT Sector in general to avoid this area at this time. Thank you.

Q: Bad, Badger,
(Bad is Good!!) I have had 5 fold profit on this, sold some along the way, regretfully, but it is again about 7.5% of my unregistered portfolio. I am not adverse to risk, and I believe one has to let its winners run.But after such a good run Would it be wise to trim it to 5% for disciplined portfolio management, despite the tax bill. Having cash to redeploy also could be a could idea. It is easier to buy than to sell, and I need the kick to make me do it. Thanks for you input.

Q: In your analysis of C-COM (CMI)you mention that 17% of revenue is sourced in the Russian Federation.With the issues in the Ukraine I am wondering how you weigh that in your investment decision. The company looks very interesting as an investment and the share price looks reasonable especially with all that cash to deploy. But how does one allow for the geo-politics in an investment decision?
Thanks
Mike

Q: Just some general comments on AYA that some members might find useful from one who has been investing for 25+ years:
1) If you have followed the model portfolio, AYA should represent a max of 5% of your holdings
2) Not every stock in the portfolio is going to go straight up from the outset
3) It is very difficult to anticipate and "play" market sentiment swings, which is clearly affecting AYA presently. Stay focused on what the company is actually doing.
4) Don't check your stocks every hour. Better to evealuate monthly or quarterly, along with company information released.
5) We are all here because we believe in Mr Hodson's insight. Follow his portfolio, stay with his suggestions, and I believe you will have an excellent chance to outperform the market. That is all anyone could realistically ask for.
Good luck fellow investors!

Q: re; Amaya, just a comment that I think is important, I was a huge shareholder but exited at 7.40 when I saw sheldon adelson owner of the venetian in las vegas and a person worth 40 billion, is backing a bill in the united states to ban internet gambling, I think this bill has legs and would affect Amaya quite negatively if passed, add in their horrible earnings and I think the stock is an avoid for now. dave
