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

Q: Hi Peter,
On BNN , DHX was compared to Corus Entertainment. If this is the case, is DHX over valued or do they have other assets that justifies the growth? Sensio continues to sign deals,but the stock continues to drop. It has recovered a bit, but is still down from a few months ago. Any comments please. Also, would you consider CSX as a long term investment starting with purchase price of $34 with or without CP merger talks. Thanks again
