Q: A general question of capitulation on your part. At what point to you question your resolve (tenacity or patience) in holding with a company which, more that likely, has better alternatives amongst your many other alternative positions for either short or long term prospects than TRI (as an example) which has had steady MV losses for 3 years?

Q: Since your report on Firan Technology Group in early December, the move has been about 60% to the upside. Your report put the company on my radar, but I did not start a position. I am now considering jumping in and concerned about starting a position after such a big gain over then last few months. Do you see Firan continuing to outperform the market? Is this a longer term growth story that is still in the early innings? Is this increase in price being driven by defence-sector sentiment rather than Firan fundamentals? Any advice would be appreciated.

Q: Could you please provide some "colour" around the substantial issuer bid and the news release today regarding the intention of insider Intercap to participate? Market doesn't seem to like it, and I am wondering if you would consider buying today on the weakness if as an investor you were positive on the company and their prospects.
Thank you

Q: The quarterly report today obviously surprised the market and the stock is down strongly. Mngmt blames it primarily on (beef) inflation. I'm having trouble thinking of what catalyst(s) could move it to the upside, so I'm thinking of selling it.
Do you think the dividend is at risk going forward? Do you think earnings/free cash flow will increase? What do you think of the report?

Q: This is a follow-up question regarding XIC/XIU. In your response you said that you preferred XIC over XIU because it is more diversified. This seems to be at odds with the portfolios outlined in the ETF publication where XIU is the preferred option. Somewhat confused. Could you provide some rationale please. Thanks

Q: CN Rail shares were added to the Income Portfolio, Today.

If you decide to add exposure to rails in the Balanced Portfolio, which Canadian rail would be your preference today and why ?

You had mentioned before that CNR has a cheaper valuation and good dividend yield. But, I would appreciate your reasoning to cover other factors like future growth prospects, geographical considerations and total shareholder returns, as well.

Thank You
