Q: Hi there,
Just doing some portfolio re-balancing as my portfolio seems to have gotten off track a bit lately. I am running with about a 22% weight in industrials but have CCL and richards Packaging classified there. I always struggle where to classify these two - more suited to materials or do you have an alternate classification. i am extremely underweight in Consumer Discretionary. Any recommendations? i have been reluctant to buy anything in this space lately!

Q: I have a general concern that I would appreciate your assessment regarding both the US and world economies. We have a US stock market that has been rising consistently for some time now. Bond yields are on the rise with increasing concerns about inflation. Now there is a threat of a major trade war as Trump considers placing significant tariffs on Chinese imports. This has been tried in the past (ie 1930) with dire consequences. Sure, US imports of tariffed goods decreased but so did exports as other companies struck back with their own tariffs. And if China, for example, sells less goods to the USA it will buy less raw materials from other countries affecting their economies.. So the risk is a major slow down in world economies. I would expect prices for many products in the US to rise substantially, due to Trump's insular view of how things work with increased pressure on inflation and bond rates. My concern is that all of this could result in a major recession next year. How do you view this situation? I would appreciate your thoughts and analysis. Thanks.

Q: With the 2017 earnings report out and the stock price at $16.240, do you still have a wait and see approach to this company?

Does the quote from the latest press release, listed below, indicate that the worse is over for AGT?

We believe that the challenges of the past quarters will begin to ease as the effects of governmental interventions and market corrections subside and markets find their new balance as a new crop season begins, with India’s current harvest and the upcoming Turkish harvest in May 2018. While AGT cannot control the timing of a market recovery, we expect a gradual recovery, with respect to volumes and prices and with them margins and earnings, to continue over the coming periods through 2018 with North American harvest and into 2019

Q: No question here, but my comment on FFH. I owned FFH In the 80’s. I recall the stock trading at 600.00. Please correct me if I am wrong. It is now 600.00 plus. How Prem Watsa can be compared to Buffet is like my golf game being compared to Tiger Woods. Watsa makes big bets against the market which on balance I would think have been horrible , to be stand corrected.
What am I missing??
Regards, Bill
