Q: LNR has started acting better. Aside from portfolio weighting considerations, what are the main concerns here? I see a stock that is trading under book value and could move significantly whenever the sector becomes more compelling. Given a long time horizon do you think adding is warranted? Thank-you as always.

Q: You were asked a question the other day (the answer was the companies listed above) which I would like to ask again with one important difference: If you could only pick 5 stocks for growth today, the key words being growth, five and today, what would they be? The time frame is one year and RISK IS a factor. Thank you.

Q: When the market begins to settle and turn around what companies do you expect will show a quicker recovery? I'm looking for 4 or 5 names each in Canada and the US. I have some surplus to portfolio funds, that I would use for long term calls.
Thanks so much for your service, you have helped me a lot.

Q: I own these three (half positions) and have had TRP for a long time so up about 70% on it and down about 20% on the other two. Would it make any sense to sell TRP and divie the cash proceeds between the other two (TOY and KXS)? I do already own ENB (full position).
Thanks again.

Q: Hi fellows,
In the US consumer cyclical sector, would crox be a good buy now in view of the coming spring/summer and is it very sensitive to the Asian markets ? What would be your favorites in the consumer cyclical sector, Canada and USA, for the coming months ?

Have a good year in all regards,

JD

Q: I understand how MAXR's debt (and now, cost of capital) undermines its prospects, but: isn't MAXR still a high-barriers-to-entry stock? I believe 5i said, many years ago, that there weren't that many companies that could even attempt the sorts of things they did. Aren't the rules for de facto monopolies more foregiving - for example, as concerns the multiplicity of suitors who would be prepared to look past this particular failure?
