Q: Hello team -

I have a 2.3% weighting in Badger Daylighting. Lately I am hearing some of negativity towards this company - about their business not being "patentable" and "increasing competition". I know BAD manufactures their own trucks at apparently a lower cost than others in this space. Aside from this, what is going to keep this 900lb gorilla ahead of the competition? Scale? Better management team?

Will expansion into the U.S. open themselves up to even more competition? What are your thoughts on this business and their possible strategy going forward?

Q: Hello. I presently hold a fairly diversified range of stocks, most of which would be viewed as blue chip companies. However I'm concerned that I may be overweight in the pipeline/utility sector, where I have Key, ALA, TRP, IPL and PPL. In combination these would represent about 19% of my portfolio. Do you think I'm overweight in this sector, and if so, can you suggest which stock or stocks I should sell.

Thanks for the help.

Brian

Q: Considering all the death crosses in their chart, it looks like Biosyent is in a condition where the technical indicators will rule the fundamentals for a bit. I bought it at the top end in an RRSP and TFSA (3%)so is it worth holding. Was the stock just stretched out too far in Q1 or are there some fundamental concerns? I don't have any issue holding on for a couple of quarters or buying a bit more when it bottoms if there are no serious fundamental concerns.
