Q: Hi,

I would like to initiate a position in one of these 2 stocks and plan on owning both over time. Given that both are down about 15% from their recent highs last month, which one do you think has a better entry point right now?

Thanks for your time

Q: If you were bargain hunting today, irespective of the sector, which would be your preference Savaria or Davis and Henderson? These are looking good to me, but you might even favour another? I see these two as less risky than some others, of course. and that is an important criterion.
thanks for the good work

Q: Hi, any comments on the secondary offering of 1,750,000 shares @ $11.34 buy Bourassa family. announced, today after market close. Discount to market price of 5%. They just excercised 500,000 warrants @ $4.25. The release said that they will continue to own 36.1% of Savaria's outstanding shares, which is reassuring but the largest shareholders/founders offloading shares may not be perceived by market favourably ? Thanks
