Q: Last night's guest on Market Call Tonight said Savaria was a great company, and he met with them last month and likes them. But he said the stock was way overpriced. He said he would not buy and if he owned it he would sell it. He said if they continued to perform the stock is going to move sideways at best for the rest of the year. I take it you have a different opinion.

ECM @ .65% [of the total portfolio] up 14.65%
EFX @ 1.26% " up 43.66%
SIS @ 1.49% " up 2.65%
TIO @ 1.35 " up 44% [taken out by PP,decision made]
I was considering consolidating these 4 to just one or two names.
Your thoughts on this action and or alternate suggestions?

Cheers and thx for your fine service!

Q: Hi Peter! SIS said in their statement "There are over a thousand resellers of accessibility products in North America." Their purpose behind this statement was to iterate that there are many opportunities for acquisitions that could improve synergies, but I'm more concerned about how they maintain a competitive advantage. Do they depend too much on R&D? If not, what makes them stand out from the rest and what are the barriers to entry? Is there any brand loyalty among its customers? Do you see them being bought out in the future (i.e. like United Technologies that own OTIS elevators)? Thanks!

Q: Savaria peaked in October and has been going down since then. With today's loss it's reached the -10% mark where I usually think about selling stocks (I was stung by nortel and JDS uniphase during the dot com days and vowed not to ever again follow a stock down too far). I know this stock is a favorite of yours so could you tell me what might reverse this steady downward momentum?

Hello Peter:
My 43 year old son has a very large position in DHX Media DHX.B - it is 18% of combined portfolios and 48% of his Cash portfolio. He currently has a 5% gain at today's price, and obviously should have sold some when it was over $8 but prospects looked very bright then and it seemed that keeping it was the thing to do.

Now there is little news and it seems not much interest in this company, and just a 1% dividend, so it is drifting but looking at the one year graph it seems that it might get over $7.50 in the next few months but maybe this is just wishful thinking.

We want to reduce the position to about 5-6% of the combined portfolios but want your opinion as to whether to wait for a better price in the year ahead or just go ahead now and sell about 2/3 of the position. Or Maybe just sell the whole position as there are better choices available.

The proceeds would be invested in three or four of these for a very long hold : ENB, ALA, RY, SLF, BIP.UN, SIS, PBH, ABT. Could you please rank these in descending order of desirability for growth and growing dividends?

Thank you......... Paul K
