Q: Hi Peter and Group
How do you view the $50 million increase in credit recently obrained by Badger. I think company quarter reporting is not too far off. I am down considerably on the stock and wonder if this will be material to their quarterly report Thanks for all your good work. I have learned a lot since taking up membership, I think.

Q: I also have a BAD question. Could you please comment on the recent organizational changes. It looks like someone internally is upset with the bottom line not reflecting the growth. Maybe the incentives are to big if they affect the financial statements that significantly. Maybe it's time to throw the shareholders a bone with a dividend increase. Mike

Q: BAD - I have two problems. First, the $7.4M charge represents 33% of cash flow. Second, the DU liability is valued at another $21M as a current liability on the B/S. How do I estimate the cash flow impact of the plan as it continues to vest? Rewarding mgmt for stock performance is great and aligns their interests with mine, but when 33% of the operating cash flow disappears I become a little concerned. Plus I cannot get a handle on the future liability this plan represents.

Q: 5i team,

A follow up on the previous question about BAD's earnings. The discussion around the deferred unit costs affecting the results so much seems bizarre to me. Is this something to be concerned about... something "bad"? Considering the past 90 days, it looks like the story is still well in tact going forward, long term. Do you have any concerns for the future given the developments in the earnings today? It seems like the reduction in margins should have been passed on to the customer... again, is this bad? Does this mean they will experience margin errosion?

Q: Peter et al,
I am up from 21% to 27% in the energy sector (BTE, CPG,SGY) with the recent increases of Baytex and Cres Point. I am considering selling some CPG to invest in another sector. I have no industrials, pharma or biotech. I have been looking at Badger and Black Diamond. Reading previous answers you seem to favour both. Which would you recommend for growth with a little income? Thanks in advance.

Q: I have some shares in Badger Daylight (BAD) for the last couple of weeks the stock has been going down from 70 cents to $1.30 per day. I cannot find any reason for this decline can you please investigate and find out why this happening. When companies are doing well they put out lots of info but when they are declining they fail to give you any info why. Thank You. Bob

Q: Badger Daylighting (BAD-T) has been steadily declining since the beginning of April. Can you offer reason(s) and should I sell half position now in order to lock in some gains. My average cost is $31.67 and today stock dropped another $1.20 to $36.69. Or just continue to hold all my shares. Thank you

Q: Bad, Badger,
(Bad is Good!!) I have had 5 fold profit on this, sold some along the way, regretfully, but it is again about 7.5% of my unregistered portfolio. I am not adverse to risk, and I believe one has to let its winners run.But after such a good run Would it be wise to trim it to 5% for disciplined portfolio management, despite the tax bill. Having cash to redeploy also could be a could idea. It is easier to buy than to sell, and I need the kick to make me do it. Thanks for you input.

Q: Hi Peter, I have 14 dividend paying diverse stocks of about the same weighting and have about 1500.00. Knowing your view of "BAD" I was thinking of adding it but it would be a smaller weighting. My question: in general is it worth adding to the current holdings or adding as small weighting in a new co. Thanks, Nick
Sorry if I sent it twice not sure if timed out did't get confirmation of being sent.
