Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: WSP Global Inc. (WSP) has closed the public offering of subscription receipts at a price of $35.85. Today they are trading at $35.45 (WSP.R) and the common shares are trading at $35.53 (WSP). Does this indicate the subscription receipts were not that well received? Do you see any problems with this issue?
Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on Agrium vs. Potash? Are they at attractive valuations/do you think investing in such a company is a good way to play the inevitable global population growth from a long term prospective? Also, when is the seasonal strength time for agriculture stocks and is seasonality something you take into consideration when choosing stocks.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Q: Do you have any suggestions with regard to selling your losers? For example, I own Avigilon (AVO) and currently have a loss of 41% and keep on holding it with the hope that some good news will be on the horizon and the stock will head up. Frankly, I wish I had sold it long ago. I know that some investors have a rule if a stock drops 7-10% from purchase price, it is sold. Do you have any general recommendations for selling losers? Thanks, Bill

Q: Could I have your perspective on today's market meltdown? .... certainly not a "Black Tuesday", but painful none the less.
Is there anything in your 2 portfolios that you would grab at these reduced prices?

Thanks and welcome home!

Q: I find preferred shares a very complex area (other than perhaps fixed date callable/retractable). Could there be some catches to them requiring a review of the prospectus.

For resets, I don't suppose that yield to maturity takes into account whether the reset provisions result in an equivalent security e.g a change in spread to Canada's relative to the spread on original issue date. Or can one depend on such a change not occurring.

Q: Questor (QST) is dropping in a major way today. I expect that small caps will generally fall more than large cap stocks when we experience the kind of drops we have seen on the TSX over the past few days. This, however, seems overdone on no news. Is this an opportunity to add to my QST position?

Thanks you for your assessment.
