Q: Good morning,
I read your response to the recent GE Election offer to exchange $100USD GE shares for $107.53USD Synchrony Financial shares and given your comment, I will likely retain my GE shares.
This being said and prior to reading your response on the GE Election Offer. I was considering the tendering of my GE shares to benefit from the 7% immediate premium, sell the Synchrony shares at the earliest opportunity to lock in as much of the 7% as possible and then buy back the GE shares at a later date, hopefully at a lower price than I tendered them for. I'm sure that if it was that simple, everyone would be doing this, but I am curious to understand and hear from you why this would not work. Thank you.

Q: Terrorists attack on Paris is truly tragic. Sadly this may lead to market correction. In today's Globe and Mail (net edition) there is an article by Reuters' Journalists about the possible short term correction and a "short squeeze" taking place in the near term. They don't expect any long term consequences.
What is your opinion and suggestions regarding portfolio management? Buy on this dip or just leave things be and monitor the situation?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

What are the chances of Calfrac (CFW) or Trican (TCW) surviving the next 12-24 months. Would either one of these or any other oil service company be worth purchasing during tax loss selling?
When you look at book value of these 2 companies is it calculated with or without debt factored in? Am I right to assume there will be write downs in book value coming?
Thanks, Shane
