Investment Q&A

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

Q: Western Forest reported on February 12th. Revenue was $80 million, well above the $46 million projected. Now that the strike has been resolved, do you see any upside to the stock. The dividend is good. I own it at double the price (many shares) and it is now and I know, I know, don't average down but it seems things are looking up with the strike over and the price has moved up since the announcement. So I am leaning towards buying more or getting out. I know you are not a financial advisor.
Would they make a good buy out candidate for a US lumber company? They use to have a good balance sheet but do they have one now?

Q: Hi, great job my portfolio is up, thanks.
I bought GUD for sector, management, cash position, growth (safety) etc.
They finally made an acquisition which looks ok.(no homerun?) still down ,bought at $8.50
Looks like an important quarter in March,if it is good all should be ok, if not ,it will not have the big cash backstop that it did in the past. Won’t this be a problem?
Getting a little impatient, if it is only a so-so or down quarter, is it not time to seriously consider an alternative? Or would you give it “another”3-5 years?
Thanks,

Q: Hi,
Prediction : PWF preferred series I and G will be redeemed. POW put aside 350MM to redeem preferred shares in the latest reorg. These 2 perpetual issues are down significantly since mid-Dec, have the highest coupons and total about 350MM …POW has also perpetuals with high rates but they seem pretty stable. Your guess? Could they be redeemed as soon as this quarter? Thanks.

Q: I have neither Telaria or Rubicon Proj. but I would like to start a position. With the merger between them how would you play this? Buy both before the merger or buy one and why. What happens after the merger? Do you think the merger makes good sense ?
Thanks, Peter

Q: I have noticed lately that some of your answers have an addendum that people associated with 5i may have financial interest in companies mentioned. Does this represent a shift of philosophy away from unbiased answers?

Q: I own Boardwalk and Interrent REITs. I have nice gains in both. Boardwalk finally seems to have some momentum behind it after languishing for a few years. With a solid quarterly release in the next couple of weeks, do you think it can continue to move higher and get back to the $60's. They keep saying they are trying to diversify the portfolio, but no major moves yet out of Alberta. Alberta's economy is doing better, but the name will always be attached to oil until they diversify throughout the country. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jason
