Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: First, I often wondered what would happen to Alaris (AD) should one of their investment goes south - now I know. And it is the reason why I have stayed clear - the risk is higher than it appears.

I'm at loss to understand what the "due bill" announcement from WFT means. And I am wondering about your take on the company.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch Team,
I purchased West Fraser WFT at its peak in early November. Its down over 10%. What are the prospects going forward. Is there a slowdown in the industry that would push the price down further. Would this present a buying opportunity in an industry with good longer term prospects?
Thank you. Linda

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch Team, I would like to add a lumber company to my portfolio. I am looking at West Fraser WFT, Canfor CFP, and Western Forest WEF. Based on location with respect to beetle problems, products and markets, which of these companies would be best to buy. Also, should I wait for a pullback in the sector?
Thanks so much.
Linda

Q: What do you think about a company like NBD given LP's take over offer for Ainsworth? Forestry stocks have fallen back a bit lately. LUMBER prices seem to be climbing again. Given this, do you see value in this sector and which companies would you recommend? Will this offer cause a run in these other stocks?

Q: I missed the recovery in lumber sector over the past year and a half but I see there has been a recent drop in lumber prices and a pull back in some of the stocks (i.e. West Fraser, Canfor). What are your thoughts on lumber prices moving forward and would this recent pull back be an opportunity to participate in this sector? If yes, any companies you would recommend?

Thanks.

Q: You commented about four months ago on Western Forest Products (WEF) and I'm wondering what your thoughts on the company are currently. The sector seems to have some strong momentum and the company looks to have had a good start to the year based on their news releases over the past few months.

Thanks,
Scott
