Q: I looked at OSB(Norbord) and CFP(Canfor) and see that CFP is out preforming others in the field. At present I own CanWel CWX. Of the three which would be your choice? Thanks in advance.

There seems to be flood of info. on each stock and this is where I get confused.

Q: Good morning. A few questions to help me with my portfolio and build my growing financial knowledge - appreciate your solid guidance!

While Norbord is showing as a "buy and strong buy" in the recent Thomson Reuters report, it's stock price currently above it's predicted position of $45 in 12 months. I recognize the repair efforts from the hurricane may benefit the stock in the short term. Would be great to hear your considerations on purchasing this stock at this time. And has the potential benefit in the short term already been accumulated in the current price?

With the recent drop in OG (38 to 27 cents), is there a way to tell if any big shareholder pulled out of their investment, or are other forces at play. Anything to be concerned about? I recognize this is a speculative growth stock and is risky.

This last one is more of an educational question. I recently bought LAC as a speculative add given the Asia announcement regarding the ban on gasoline cars in the future. The stock is incredibly volatile during the day. I am curious if this is due to "day traders" just trying to make a buck given it's volatility or some other dynamic is at play?

Q: My original small % positions have become a problem - HWD is up 130% down to OSB (finally) +25%. Would you sell some of each or do you have a preferred listing of keepers?
Thanks for the service.

Q: Norbord is down nicely, no doubt with the general market. However they do have exposure to Great Briton. I am not concerned with the impact on the OSB market but the Pound will certainly affect the profitability. At $25.00, do you think it is a good time to take a partial postion on them at this time?

Q: The price of OSB is rising quickly. Norbord stock price has already appreciated considerably in the past few months but I understand it may do very well if the product price remains at its current level. Would you consider it a buy at the current level? Would you consider Norbord a better investment at this time that WEF?
