Q: This comp. has been transforming itself over the last few years: paying down debt. (55% of E now), cut it's dividend, acquired companies -one lately for all cash, I believe and metrics look good: P.E. 10, ROE of 300% (must have retired some shares ??), low pay-out ratio and > EPS due, I guess, to cost cutting? I've held for quite a while; so, with dividends my head is above water. Comments please as I am not sure whether to keep holding or not?.

Q: Do you guys follow this company? Does it have any turnaround potential, is it a good takeover candidate or maybe potential for activist investor to come in? Their revenues are down but only slightly, p/s less than 0.1 (0.2 with debt), but they have a tough time making a profit.
Thanks

Q: My current tech positions are: OTC, AVO and GIB.A. I recently traded ESL for GIB.A because GIB is much cheaper. I am now considering trading OTC { down 15% } for MDA. I sense MDA will have more growth over the next 2 years. Is trading OTC for MDA a good move? Thank you for your opinion.

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Your latest report on AirBoss is very intriguing.

I hope this isn't an unfair question, but if AirBoss were to be added to a model portfolio today (I assume the Growth Portfolio), what existing holding would be removed?

Thanks for all your superb work.

Q: How do you view the situation for PKI now that the acquisition of Pioneer has closed? Seems they have to semi divest much of the Pioneer retail outlets in eastern Canada. The price just dropped 2% today so some of the market is not happy with the outcome of the Competition Tribunal order. Do you feel that the 4% dividend is still relatively secure with the limitations applied by order?

Q: If you had to choose between TC and SYZ which would you choose and why? I have a 5.5% position in SYZ which has been down since the time I bought it 6 months ago. Is it advisable to trim it to 3% and invest the rest in TC. Also do you think TC is expensive at the current level. Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on Prem Watsa's India Fund? He does seem to have a bit of home field advantage, not to mention his track record. Also would you consider a 6% overall India allocation to be excessive? (I currently hold ZEQ at almost 3% of my portfolio).
