Q: Follow up question to the question asked today about equal weighting in the 3 noted companies.
What %age of the shares outstanding for TOI and LMN does CSU own?
Are these two companies now out on their own wrt CSU or is CSU looking out for or helping them along in any way?
If so would they not sell any shares to raise capital and hence look elsewhere if needed?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why WSP's price seems to keep taking larger than expected dips after having good earnings, a long list of projects and is what appears to be a fundamentally sound company. Since the large sale back in April, it hasn't seemed to have regained solid footing from a technical aspect, and the momentum is slowing, leaving me to wonder if it is time to lock in what are fairly substantial profits? This is when I question whether or not a company's fundamentals have much effect when 'Wall St' loses interest in an equity.

Q: How do you feel about margin usage in the context of the current rate environment? Do you believe it still has a place for risk-tolerant investors, especially considering potential tax write-offs? Or do you think the potential risk/reward is simply not palatable at the moment? If the latter, what are some effective ways to reduce margin exposure without being forced to sell assets or unbalance a portfolio?

Q: Hi,
Is there an easy method to unsubscribe to all the printed documents I receive from Computershare for Annual General Meetings. Unless being a large shareholder, the voting material is usually of no interest (auditors, compensation plan). I still receive this material by email from many companies, which is fine. I like the letter to the shareholders, but too often absent. I prefer a better use of my recycle bin.
Thanks
