Q: This is a 2 part portfolio editing question:
1. I hold BDT as well as STN and WSP. Should I hold all 3 or sell BDT and split the funds between STN and WSP?
2. I hold CHW and have a paper loss on it as I do with AVO and ACQ. Thinking several years up the road, would I be better off selling CHW and re-investing in AVO and ACQ, both of which you appear to like; or simply hang on to CHW?

Thanks for your help and guidance.

Q: The stock seems to be drifting downwards, any thoughts on it? I have had a good run but with no dividend makes me wonder if I should just sell and invest in a dividend bearing equity. Your comments please? Thank you Phyl

Q: I have roughly a 14% position in Altagas (ala), Pembina (ppl), and Interpipe (ipl), collectively. I was thinking of selling one entirely or part positions in all three and using a portion of those funds to purchase Shawcor (scl) which is trading around 12.45x 2015 earnings.

To make up for the lost dividend income, I plan on purchasing Sunlife (slf) as I only have a 1.85% exposure to the insurance sector (I have pwf).

Any thoughts? Thanks again, as always.

John

Q: What do you think of the sale of assets announced yesterday and also the coincidental purchase of aircraft assets. I've owned this a few months and its up 11% this morning. I admit I'm having difficulty figuring out what this might all mean to both the risk and growth profile for this company . The sale at 200 million is big numbers for a small cap like this. Thanks

Q: Hi,
I forgot about this stock during recent volatility and starting to look at again. I like the assets and lack of debt. I dislike the earnings and my lack of knowledge of the management. Do you know the management at all and any thoughts on investing small position for 3-5 years or longer?
Thanks,
John
