Q: Regarding BXE, how does the news of their conversion of debt to common stock affect the future of the company? I know your past comments referred to the company as small and heavily in debt. Would it fit in the speculative portion of a portfolio? Do you think it will survive?
Thank You.

Q: I have held these two companies for 2 1/2 years and excluding dividends my gains are 7.1% and 4.6%; which are the lowest performing stocks in my balanced portfolio. Do you see any thing happening in the next few years in these companies to improve the share price; or should I expect more of the same? Would you consider these companies to be more suited to an income portfolio vs. a balanced portfolio?
