Q: GBT seems a bit ahead of LNF in terms of developing its real estate arm, but with a weak market, it’s paying a price for it. Is GBT a good stand alone investment, and secondly if I already own LNF to you think they will largely move together?

Q: I have half positions of these three stocks: QSR, PBH, & LNF. PBH is underwater. Are these good stocks to own long term? They haven't really done much in the last few years. Or on this pullback, make them full positions for their div and possible future growth? Do you have other favourites in Consumer stocks? YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE. Thanks.

My basic criteria were those potentially undervalued, dividend over 3%, div growth of at least 5% and a decent payout ratio. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks for your help.

Q: Thoughts on the quarter for Leon's. With a sluggish Canadian economy and curtailed immigration I am concerned about their ability to grow. That being said, management is excellent and they have the upcoming reit spinout. What should shareholders expect in the REIT spinout? Do you see some nice upside due to this or have most of the gains been made around the announcement.
Thanks Rob

Q: This week Smoak Capital had a write up on Leons in their Mid Year letter to investors. They figure that a combined value for Leon's for the business and the real estate is 40-60$ per share. Couple of questions what is your thoughts of the valuation of the stock right now ignoring the possible spin out of the real estate. The second question is Leons stated that they would spin out the real estate when the market looks better. I know that we have had a few days sell off but with interest rates dropping do you think things are lining up for real estate spin out. Thanks

Long term growth investor.

Would you suggest trimming across the board or are there any names you would swap if one wanted to high grade their portfolio.

Our current holdings, in approximately equal weights, are DOO, LNF, MG, BYD, PLC, ATZ. We are considering either reducing our holdings by one or a group trimming. Which would you prefer and why? For long term holds, how would you rate (1-10) these 6?
