Q: Sirs :Badger has drifted in a tight downward trading range for some time. Do you expect a breakout in the near future or have a suggestion or two I may consider for growth in the near future. Thanks for your sound advice in the past.

Q: Back in August, you mentioned that there is likely an opportunity cost in owning Badger. Given more recent results, with a greater move to the US and management delivering on everything they said they would, do you still believe this to be the case?

In an otherwise diversified portfolio, I currently have about 8% in industrials (WSP, NFI), and am looking for a third company to boost the allocation, with a mix of some dividend and growth. Do you think BAD would be a reasonable addition? I have also been considering MDA.

Thank you.

Q: Hello team -

I have a 2.3% weighting in Badger Daylighting. Lately I am hearing some of negativity towards this company - about their business not being "patentable" and "increasing competition". I know BAD manufactures their own trucks at apparently a lower cost than others in this space. Aside from this, what is going to keep this 900lb gorilla ahead of the competition? Scale? Better management team?

Will expansion into the U.S. open themselves up to even more competition? What are your thoughts on this business and their possible strategy going forward?

Q: Hi 5i team,

What are your thoughts on continuing to hold badger? It has had a bit of stock momentum over the past month, but has still been affected by the gloom in the energy sector. Would you recommend continuing to hold badger for the long term or do you think it would be better to switch to a company exposed to an industry more in favour from your growth portfolio? I already own a good portion of your balanced and growth portfolio so I would likely top up my positions or purchase kinaxis as it currently has stock momentum. My position in badger is around 3 percent.

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team.
I have significant losses in my Energy positions in my RRSP and have previously asked for your help in rebalancing my Financials, Tech, and Energy positions 30%, 40% and 15% the latter down from 30% last year before the energy crunch.
My questions today and I am asking for your advice on what is left in the portfolio; namely BAD, BDI, and SGY that have all been down 40-50%.
Would you continue to hold?
Replace with other Energy stocks?
Or sell and avoid the sector completely until a recovery is underway.
Thanks for all the help!!
Peter
