Q: Just sell - NOW!! Don't wait another day! JUST SELL!!!
With 30B in debt; nearly 40B in questionable Goodwill & In-tangible Assets & no audited Financial Statements; - what else would you need. As well, apparently they are now in breach of their Walmart contract for non-compliance & of course, there is the US Justice Dept. investigation as well as the SEC probe. Sounds about right for an auction - if there will be any realizable assets.

Q: Hi,

Are you concerned that large Cdn tech companies are only able to how earnings through acquisitions? CSU's organic growth over the last 3 quarters is essentially flat. Why aren't they able to grow their existing businesses? Do you expect organic growth to return when the macro economic environment improves?

Thank you,
Jason

Q: I recently had my shares of TRX converted to Aralez. ARZ reported today and the stock took a huge hit. Is this worth holding or should I sell. Would these earnings include TRX or would it just be Pozen results, the company they merged with to form ARZ

Q: Hi Guys,

When can we expect a new report on Gamehost?

The last report was Jan 2015 at $13.14 and was rated "B". The stock price is now around $9.15. Do you think it is still a "B" or after a 30% reduction in price is it now an "A"?

An updated report would be appreciated.

Thanks
John

Q: Because a large % of questions are to comment on earnings, is it feasible to use a template of the numbers you feel are important & then make your appropriate comments at the bottom. It would much easier to read from my end.
Thanks

Q: I want to add one maybe two positions to the Industrial sector. I currently own CNR and RBA. I am considering KBL vs AVO for one of the new positions. I have sold AVO two times already because of frustration with the stock performance. I think AVO has more growth potential, but I like the steady performance of KBL excluding the latest correction. Should I take another swing with AVO hoping third time will be profitable or go with KBL or take positions in both? Please help me decide. Thank you

Q: The big winner in this account has been CCL.B. In order to maintain balance and diversification should I to some trimming (now at about 40 per cent of the account)? Trimming is hard to do as the stock has been stellar so far! Would you please suggest the best buys in the utilities and info tech sectors. I have a 5 year time frame and am only interested in solid blue chip companies. Besides CCL.B I own DHX.B, BNS, PEY, SJ and T. Thanks for your great service. Carole

Q: What are your thoughts re Kelso . It seems to me to be a niche manufacturer that should benefit from the loonie at the current range and from the need to move hazardous materials ( aided by the resistance to pipeline development ) . Your comments are appreciated.

Q: hello 5i,
I am also one who has been frightened a bit by Prem Watsa's remarks. In my case, however, I think it is healthy, as it has convinced me to dial back my equity exposure. I hate the idea of bonds because they pay so little. But, I also hate the idea of a possible ten or twenty years of a bad market.

So, I am going to trim positions and buy bonds. I wonder if you could make some suggestions. I notice that you have vcsh in your portfolio, along with xhy. I also notice that you often mentionCBO and xbb. it would seem to me that xsb might be a better choice because it is shorter term, no?

So, the question is what would be a good choice currently, on the bond side in Canada. GIC's would also be ok. Also, for American bond funds denominated in U.S. dollars? We would be talking about several hundred thousand dollars.
thanks Claire

Q: Hello team,
In your investment history, have you seen anything like this recovering ever? Is VRX another Enron or another Amex?

Would at any point it make any sense to average down on this basket base? Or would this be throwing money away gain and a second mistake?

Who else could we trust for an honest, experienced, and informed opinion! Thanks!

Q: How bad was the miss? What do you think of the stock in the short to medium term? Will this be dead money for a while, as I presume WSP will be?
