Investment Q&A

Q: You have dropped coverage of Trimac due to the proposal to take it private. However, do you have any idea whether the proposed price of $6.25 reflects fair value of the stock, considering that transportation is at a low point in the cycle ? Do you have any other transportation or trucking stocks you would recommend ?

Q: Do you have any other transportation sector replacements for Trimac? Would Transforce be an acceptable alternative? Or would you suggest another sector at this time?

Q: Earn came out last night and wonder if you can give me your
opinion..tnx you

Q: Peter and Team:
Currently down about 30% on this one. Thinking of taking the loss and rotating out into another company in similar sector. Any suggestions from your BE Portfolio. Also are you aware what is happening with the share buyback process? I am in it for a 5 year+ hold and don't mind waiting for TFI, but was thinking there might be something "better" as I try to clean up my portfolio.

Thanks as always.

Q: I just received an offer to purchase (tender) Transforce shares from $19-$22 dollars. Seems to me that if they are trying to buy back shares it's probably a good sign the company thinks they will be worth more in the future.
I want to keep the shares, so is it best to just not respond to this at all? In other words, will buy-backs only happen to people who responded with a price?
What do you usually recommend in situations like this?

thanks,

Paul

Q: Hi Peter et al, My daughter's TFSA holds TFI which has gone down about 30% in the past year. With a 3 to 5 year outlook do you think a switch from TFI to MG? or to another industrial name would make sense?
Many thanks.

Q: could you explain the Dutch Auction ?

Q: Hello,
Just wanted to get your opinion on starting a position in TFI at current prices with holding period 5+ years. No doubt a slowing economy doesn't help but lower fuel prices may mitigate that. Also, they have bought back over 2 million shares, have recently sold there waste business which lowers their debt load, growing and well covered dividend. Any insights appreciated and thank you in advance.
Cheers!

Q: TFI has been weak for the past few weeks. It's down again today (6%). Any explanation for it?

Q: TransForce seems oversold here. what do you think?

Q: Your opinion on this company please, especially regarding the sale of their waste mgmt business

Q: Peter and Team:

I am down about 20% on full position of TFI. Sector weightings are good. I was wondering what the prospects for TFI are and if perhaps I should take the hit on TFI and put the proceeds and double up on BIN.
Long term hold. Unregistered account.

Thanks

Phil

Q: Could I get your opinion on Transforce with regard to the recent drop?
Would you consider it a buy?

thanks,

Q: Hi. TFI has dramatically underperformed UNS. Is the valuation that much more attractive for UNS or do you think TFI will finally get out of its funk.

Thanks.

Q: I have been a holder of Transforce for several years. My thesis for hanging on to it is that the company participates to some degree in the growth of ecommerce. I believe strongly in the future of ecommerce, but find it hard to find reasonably priced companies in that area to invest in. That is why I have invested in a shipper rather than the Amazons of the world. My questions are:
1) do TFI earnings in fact have a significant correlation to ecommerce or is that more apparent than real?
2) is FDX a buy right now on the ecommerce thesis? always seems out of my valuation and dividend is so low!
3) are there any other companies out there that you would recommend that fit into this theme (they don't have to be a shipper, I have looked there only because I like earnings and a dividend in the stocks I buy)
Cheers and good luck fellow investors!

Q: Good morning team, I was doing so well w/TFI, but not anymore. Technically, chart looks awful! Any reason you know why? Would this be a good time to add?
Thanks a lot!

Q: Good morning, your comments on TFI earnings please.

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
What is your thought on TFI, is it still buyable at this level?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: I wonder if you could comment on TFI. I thought the stock would get a boost from low energy costs, but the stock has stalled and I see BMO downgraded it yesterday. What do you think?

Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I just found out that instead of getting shares of Transforce (TFI)the CSS stock was sold and I got cash.

Do you recommend buying TFI at the current price?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
