Q: The 3 current dogs in my portfolio are Wajax ( -40%), Bomber ( -30%) and Husky (-45%). Do you see an upside to keeping any of these stocks or is it time to suck it up and move on? Wajax is paying me 4.5% to be patient, Husky not so much but oil upside, and well I think I know the answer for Bombardier.

Q: On Nov 20, 2015 you replied to Herbert "Because the Caisse's interest is directly into a subsidiary, there is not dilution in the usual sense in terms of shares issued. BBD will get capital, and simply own less of the unit. BBD has also asked the Federal government for money."

1) I am trying to understand. If BBD own less, doesn't that mean BBD shareholders will own less, get less of the revenue/earnings pie and in the end, result in some of shareholder dilution?

2) Additionally, I have to believe that with all the money this company is getting from government bodies that this will also create further dilution (unless it is money that is invested to protect jobs..) ?

Thanks.

Q: With the recent news of the Quebec gov't stepping in to save the day (for a while at least), would Bombardier be worth a shot, at the moment? Probably 1 to 2 %. I'm willing to gamble, but also not crazy. Bombardier has always been the-little-engine-that-could-but-never-did, in my mind. And yet ... how I hate those Canadian companies going down, just because they're stubborn and set in their ways. Will there be enough torque behind the gov't's presence to help move the Bomber's needle? Thanks, as ever.

Q: The stock continues to fall like a stone, I'm in the red on this one, your last answer on this in July indicated you don't see bankruptcy in the immediate future and the government could possibly step in to protect bond holders if things continue to worsen.
Has your position changed on the last three weeks of news on BBD and what would be required of BBD for you to recommend it as a buy.

Q: Good morning on this cold winterday...hope you are all thinking warm thoughts...Bombardier suspended its dividend.( Naiive question...Is a suspension as bad as a cut?) I happen to hold a tidy sum in this stock...I bought it low, so I am wondering if I should just hang on...its train section is quite good. Do you think that they will split into two separate companies..train and plane? Your insight is appreciated as always. Thank you Tamara

Q: Hello - brand new to your Site and already have found valuable information to complement my investment decisions.

I have found most stocks I have been looking for however I have a couple of airline related positions which don't show up when I enter their symbols. They are CHR (Chorus) and BBD.B (Bombardier). These are longer term holds (2-5 years). Your thoughts please

Q: re-Bombardier-18 billion in sales-3.4 billion in cash. 69 billion backlog. Yet it seems to be the most poorly run company in the country. Any other company making as many mistakes as them would fire the management and replace the CEO. What is it going to take to shake up this company. I say hire Alan Mullaly from Ford. Your comments. thanks
