Q: What is your opinion on the HSE offer for MEG. I have owned a 0.5 position for many years...with my other major oil and gas holding as full position in SU. Is the drop today an over-reaction and time to add a bit on the dip? It has had a good run and the dividend is back.

Thanks

Q: Good afternoon 5i
Kelly today asked a question regarding Transcontinental. In your answer you said that you would prefer another package because they seem to be having trouble with their acquisition. I was thinking about selling Transcontinental for a tax loss and buying it back in a month. After your answer I was wondering to what extent you had lost confidence in Transcontinental? Would buying it back after 30 days look like a dangerous proposition to you, now?
thanks as always

Q: Hi 5i - I have a portfolio weighting question. Assuming I have a portfolio with 60% Canadian, 30% US and 10% Other International, would the 60% Canadian portion be considered on its own for individual stock weightings? For example, if I consider a 5% position in BNS a full position, should I have 5% of my total overall portfolio in BNS or 5% of the 60% Canadian portfolio?

In general, what would you suggest?

Thanks, Neil

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

I am holding Profound Medical , down 35%, but I can find any reasons account for this drop lately, If I am correct they have 32m cash and almost debt free. I do not know what am I missing.

Do you see any fundamental concerns, it is now around 1% of weighting.

Should I continue to hold or sell at loss and move on?

Thank you for your help as always.
