Q: Hi team

made some nice gains from the above stock, thanks for recommending it

I wonder if it is large enough (assets over 1 billion) for the big pension
plan to show interest to own some shares (like Quebec Pension plan or CPP)
or it could be a take over target by a bank of life co

you mentioned that at 1 point, there could be a hike in dividends next year,
please elaborate, thanks

Q: Hi 5i Research team,
Could you comment on Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking take-over offer published this morning? What would be your guesstimate probability of a competing higher offer? Probably low since (1) : Goldman has access to large ressources, so acquirer competitors must know they would probably be at a disadvantage in a competing bid; and (2) this transaction is the result of a review of strategic alternatives for PEO. Isn’t such process (review of strategic alternatives) be a mandatory divulgation by compagnies since it can have a material impact? At what price would you sel at this time in a margin account? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: i was just reading about Fairfax's new partnering in Africa and am wondering what your thoughts are on both ffh and the African effort. I have always considered Prem to be an astute investor even though ffh has languished of late. Africa does seem to have considerable potential and the two main men FFH is partnering with do seem to have solid credentials. What is your thinking on both companies? many thanks

Q: You continue to hold XHY and CPD in the income portfolio. My understanding when purchasing these was that they would perform well in a low interest rate environment. That has not been the case. I am about breakeven on them over the past 3 years with dividends included. What is the investment thesis for holding them now that interest rates are already so low. Is it time to move on?
