Q: Hi,

After A&W’s recent conversion into a Corporation do you feel they could be a candidate for a takeover? Is it possible that this conversion to a corporation, which would simplify the structure, was done make them more desirable to an acquiring company? Two obvious Canadian suitors may be QSR and Fairfax which owns many casual dining restaurants under its Recipe Unlimited division. Looking forward to your comments. Thanks.

Q: Please give us your opinion on this company going forward. From your last analysis, did the trend improoved? What would be the metrics and their threshold that you would watch? What would be the alternatives stocks for long term growth?

Thank you and congratulations on a great job

Q: I am interested in adding to my position here. Reasoning is - last two quarters show improvements, interest rates are lower and possibly will drop more, insiders purchasing shares. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Q: Hello again,

RSI has just closed their convertible debenture offering. Does this significantly improve growth potential and therefore investor attention? Is it now timely to invest, or, are there better alternatives?

Q: Can I get your view and prospects on Bannerman Energy Ltd. (BBNLF:US) please.

Q: Kraken seems like a very interesting company but I am worried about it's vulnerability to intensified 'buy American' policies, and Trump tariffs. Does it have a moat that could help it deal with these? What is your assessment of overall risk?

Q: Is it time to let it go? Thanks

Q: Hello Team,

I am looking at adding a half position of one of the above companies in my TFSA. Can you please rank them in order with the most potential return over the next 3 years. Thanks

Q: Thanks for answering my previous question on WEF (western forest products). I have been taking a closer look at wef and trying to decide if I should liquidate my smallish position. One thing I noticed is that WEF has nearly $300 million 'on deposit' with the USA government. This is for the softwood lumber tariffs that they have had to pay over various years. This is a unique situation but what does it mean to be 'on deposit". Does any of this money ever get returned to a Canadian lumber producer? If not, then why does WEF even mention it? I found out about this in a WEF press release and I made a perfunctory search of the balance sheet and I could not find anything, although I am certainly not any expert navigating balance sheets. Does it appear on the balance sheet but I just missed it? Is this a complete non-issue or is it a hidden source of future revenue for WEF?

Q: CLBT has dropped significantly in the past month. I would appreciate your thoughts on the company and do you see this as a buying opportunity?

Q: Please provide your opinion of this company for growth potential.

Q: You have spoken highly of OLY in the past. Is it a domestic story and would tarrifs have any impact on their business ? Would you have any concerns about increasing exposure before they report on 24 Feb ? Lastly, is the high dividend well covered ? Thank you.

Q: When do PNG and WELL next report? What is the consensus growth, earnings and revenue for each? Does 5i agree with consensus and if not, elaborate? Between the two, which one has more price percentage upside?

Q: Peter; Would you add to MTY today after the drop ? Thanks.
Rod

Q: Can I ask for an updated view of KPT.

Q: Q: Hi, Could you please comment on MTY earnings. Thank you

Q: Western forest Products just made a deal to sell 14.500 hectares of forest land to Eastwood Forests. Considering that wef's debt is around $83 million (could you confirm that please) I would call the transaction substantial from WEF's perspective. Do you agree? WEF says they will use the funds to reduce debt and invest in equipment that will allow them to make higher value wood products, such as another kiln. I never sold my small position in WEF but this might be the catalyst to move it up a smidge. Do you agree or do you think this transaction is going to hurt wef in the future since they will have to buy their logs instead of harvesting them from their own land?
