Q: I am considering opening up an information trust account for my 9 year old. He has 'savings' from gifts of around 5k that we have been keeping for him. To get him comfortable in the market, I thought it would be fun to start an account for him. However, I am unsure how well I could diversify only 5k. That got me thinking about buying holding type companies and splitting the money the best I can among them. I have been thinking about BAM.A, FFF, MRC, OCX. Are there any others that would fit this criteria? I'm primarily looking at TSX traded stocks for simplicity. Do you think this is a good approach or would you just buy "single" companies? Thanks in advance - I value your advice!

Q: Sanderson farms (SAFM.us) has been taking a beating for about 2 months, and stocks shorted ,as percentage of float, are sky high. It is hard to see why. (For some bizarre reason, our hospital doesn’t supply Bloomberg terminals in the OR.)

In early December SAFM was selected for the “stock superstar portfolio ” suggested by AAII.com, a service that is generally diligent. AAII selected SAFM when it was trading at US$95 ; its price today is $75. I am tempted to add to my modest position.

I have flipped through various analysts’ reports and found nothing alarming. Most biz reports on SAFM tend to be positive. SAFM is a domestic US entity and is not hostage to Forex fluctuations. Health professional colleagues of mine are not aware of any public health issue or any regulatory problem at this company. I don’t know why there would be so many shorts on this beleaguered little company. If you are able to unravel this mystery and enlighten 5i members , we would be very thankful.

I see no valid reason for such a sharp price decline. But then nothing is obvious to an oblivious one like me.

Q: Dear Sirs,

Looking for your thoughts on Primero - it recently came to market with a 5 year US pay debenture(5.75%)and subsequently has traded down from the $5.80 area, where the debenture has begun trading in the low 90's. Any reason for the steep decline and do the debentures represent value at these levels?

With thanks,
B

Q: Hi,
I'm considering adding Descartes to my portfolio but it seems quite expensive relative to its growth prospects. Please advise on the following:
1. Key forward metrics per Bloomberg.
2. Why you think it's a good purchase today?
3. Are there any comparable companies you prefer and how do they compare from a valuation perspective?
4. What portfolio weight would you feel comfortable with in DSG?
Thanks.
