Q: Peter,

Yesterday you answered my question on the Loblaws preferred stock. You gave different redemption dates. Where do you get this info? Where is the best place for a DIY person to find it?

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Reko has just announced its best quarter in almost 5 years. It was driven by increased revenue and improved operational efficiencies.
Reko continues to buy back its shares and has a “hard” book value of $7.74 that is probably understated given the real estate the company owns. The balance sheet is pristine with over $3.35 in working capital. Although the Reko family controls 2/3 of the shares what would you consider a fair value for the shares if it was privatized or as a continuing public company?

Q: I am participating in a fun challenge at work wherein all staff get $100,000 of play money to invest in stocks June 30, 2021. The "portfolios" will all be valued September 30, 2021 and the three highest value portfolios win a small prize. I know this is nothing more than a crap shoot, but can you recommend a few (I'm thinking 5 or less) stocks that might run during that period?
