Q: I understand that Alaris wrote off the debt on the two companies but has it accounted for the original preferreds? In other words, are there still more write-offs possible for these two companies or have they really cleared the deck?

Thanks

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
One of my portfolios closely tracks the Balanced Equity Portfolio holdings. However I have substituted STN for WSP thinking that STN will get it going at some point. Also I have split the allocation to energy producers between WCP and PEY so that I have light oil as well as gas exposure. I would appreciate your expert opinion of these substitutions. Thank you very much. DL

Q: Hi there,
I am an investor who generally does not like single company risk so i often end up with small groupings of stocks in the same line of business. Hence I owned these three in the packaging business for a fairly long period of time and done well in all three. Can you explain to me which of these business is likely to do better going forward and if you had to drop one which would it be. (i am thinking Winpak)

Thanks for all you do.

Q: Hi 5i
What is your reaction, in the shoes of a small retail investor, to the timing of a share issue while having full visibility to a results miss?
This is now the second time mgt has damaged share pricing; from which the price has not yet recovered from the prior issue.

I get we need to look long term but it looks like mgt behaviour is less aligned with investors lately.

Hopefully damage repair can happen sooner rather than later.

Thanks for your thoughts
Dave
