Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,
Have your thoughts on Graftech changed since your last comment? Mohnish Pabrai..a deep value investor took a decent size position on this company. I would love to hear your thoughts. At first glance this seems like a nice niche company with a monopoly in graphite electrodes. Brookefield also seems to an interest in this company. Thank you for your insight.

Q: With Shaw exiting Corus and Netflix starting streaming of corus held shows, do you think Corus could be bought out? How big is their debt, bigger than DHX media? If the debt is not too high, do you see it as a potential buyout by a streaming company. It seems streaming is the new thing, replacing cable.
A fair price in a buyout for Corus in the $6.00 range?

Can you summarize why each pulled back and whether the events that caused it were a blip or a change in fundamentals that one should be concerned about. For a 5 year hold which is better or would you advise equal parts of each?
