Q: My impression is that Bellatrix is a quality company with good management, but it has really been beaten up in this oil price crash. Orange Capital has indicated that they want to control the company and make changes to improve shareholder value, and Orange now own something like 20% of the shares I think. I'm holding on to my shares, in the expectation that something good will happen. What do you think?

Q: I am helping a friend with his university course on sports finance. It is the old game of pick stocks and invest $100k in play money. We are doing much of the decision making based on the data on the G & M watchlists. Here is the current lineup. Any other names you can think of to study that may ( or may not) be a good investment. Game is to end of March only, and only NYSE or NASDAQ stocks.
- Artic Cat
- Callaway Golf
- Collectors Universe ( thanks to 5-I)
- Columbia Sportswear
- Dick's Sporting Goods
- Electronic Arts (EA Sports)
- Escalade (bit of a stretch but the yield looks good)
- Life Time Fitness
- Madison Square Garden
- Nautilus
- Nike
- UnderArmour
- Vail Resorts
- Walt Disney
Thanks for your help.

Q: Any recent news on the slide of Rifco shares? Is this fall simply a symptom of low oil prices and the effect it may have on commerce in Alberta? I am currently down about 20% on my position and am thinking of doubling down once oil stabilizes for a 5-10 year hold.....any comments on this strategy? Thanks for your wonderful service.

Q: Peter et al,
I have a 100 shares of Fiera which is down right now to $11.97 bought at $12.50. FSZ does not seem to be going anywhere so I am considering selling these and putting the money into Gluskin Sheff. I already have 100 shrs that I bought at $20.44 so I might consider buying more of GS. I am already over weight in financials (23.5% of my whole portfolio), partly because of the drop in the market. Could I have your thoughts on this, pls. Thanks in advance.

Q: This stock has been on fire lately but after taking a look at their 2015 guidance it still seems reasonably cheap to me especially relative to the sector (I am assuming the company executes accordingly and meets guidance next year). I also like that it's going to be listed on the NYSE soon and may get more attention. I am thinking about buying some. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
