Q: Hi,
Can I get your opinion on Secure Waste Management? I realize it’s not a pure waste management company, but these type businesses seem to do well over time.
I was thinking of starting an initial holding in SES and am interested in hearing your opinion of the company. It seems to have good growth and pays a dividend. I would intend to keep it as a long term hold.
Q: I know this may be hard to answer exactly.
To the best of your knowledge . Who are the top 5 CDN. companies doing substantial or aggressive buy backs ? Also the same question for the US side.
Q: You last commented on SES over 3 months ago so I wonder if you could provide an update. Most notable since then was the release of their Q2 earnings on 30 July. These were well received by the Street with the likes of Raymond James, BMO, ATB and NB all raising their price targets.
I have received a offer from SES to purchase shares between $11.40 and $13. The position I have is part of a diversified portfolio in my TFSA and I am up 90% at current prices and have really enjoyed the growing dividend. I am tempted to sell 1/3 of my position at the higher range of the offer to take some money off the table.
What are your current thoughts on SES as a company, its assets and market position?
What do you think of the offer given the current market price and this point in the cycle?
Q: With the sudden fall in the stock due to problems with the Competition Bureau regarding a planned acquisition, would you hold?
Your general analysis of the company and its prospects would be appreciated.
Thanks, Len
