Q: I'm thinking of moving on here and an wondering what you might replace it with at today's prices. I also own MG and have done very well so don't need to stay in the auto parts industry. I'm a little light on industrials and materials so either sector would be fine. Thanks again for your valuable service!

Q: With XTC's growth slowing down and NFI's pullback, I am thinking of selling XTC and buying the equivalent value ( 4% of a balanced portfolio ) of NFI. I have a gain of 60% having owned XTC for 5 years. I am interested in dividend growth and stability in the business.
What are your thoughts about the prospects of these two companies 5 years out?
Thanks!
Rob

Q: Do you still think xtc.to is an undervalued stock? Underwater by 40% so would this be a good stock for a tax loss? It has a horrific chart for the last two and half years.


EPS .18 for this quarter represents a p/e of 13.6 which is a premium to mg.to mre.to and lnr.to. Are you still
Confident in this company or move on to else. It has been a serious underperformer in the sector.

Last 1 year
MRE.TO + 100%
LNR.TO +33%
MG.TO +30%
XTC.TO -4.5%

Q: I see on the Globe site there is a notice from a law company...

Johnson Fistel, Announces Investigations of INC Research Holdings, Inc., Acorda Therapeutics, Inc., and Shopify Inc.; Investors Encouraged to Contact Firm

Is this just another nuisance claim? The stock has dropped 7% today.

Just a note: I see Spin Master products being sold at Master Mind, Walmart and Canadian Tire. I don't think the Toys-R-Us problem will impact Spin Master sales in the long run.

Q: Disappointed in NFIs stock performance this last month - down about 14%. I regarded this as one of my ‘hang on and ignore’ stocks. I can’t find any negative stuff on it - seems all positive. Is it tax selling this early? I realize it is up on the year so I suppose this could be it. I think I am missing something tho. Pls enlighten me. Thks guys.

Q: Here we go again.The underwriters try to push the stock as high as possible,but in this case of ENB with limited success.After market closed today ENB announced it is going to the market again to raise financing to the tune of $1.5b of private placement of 33.5m of treasury shares @ $44.84(recent 52 week low of $43.91),At the same time it reconfirmed 10%pa increase in dividend for a number of years.Please advise who are the lead underwriter(s) & underwriters.I guess BMO is one as it did a glowing report in G&M @ end of last week.My purchase @ $50 is 10% higher than the. $44.84,so hopefully the gap can be bridged.Thanks for u usual great views & services.

Q: Do you see ENB as a potential tax-loss selling candidate for the remainder of this year, despite it not being on your list in your recent blog entry on the topic?

I have a 3% portfolio weighting of ENB in a taxable account and still wish to hold it long term, however as I have a small (7%) loss I'm contemplating selling it and buying it back at the beginning of January or thereabouts to offset some of this year's capital gains. Would you advise such a move for ENB right now, or is this all a bit too fancy (and/or risky)?
