Q: I realize these are different companies and somewhat hard to compare. I am down 24% on UNS, and since I am looking for growth would you hold or switch to SJ? Is there anything else that you would recommend irrespective of risk/industry?

Q: Someone from another stock discussion forum has stated that although SJ reported $0.74 EPS this was a result of a one-time $30M cash benefit, effectively making earnings $21.1M net income for Q4 rather than the reported $51.1M. Thus, without the cash benefit EPS came in at only $0.30 (below estimates of $0.31).

Is this accurate, and/or a fair way to assess the results? In light of this is it more reasonable to view today's results as more of a miss than a beat, as today's market action seems to suggest?

Q: Full position in forestry sector to invest which would you select SJ or WEF. Both have had good years and seem to be pulling back. I know you guys tend to avoid market timing but I need to ask if you have a good entry point price for each. I loosely follow your balanced growth portfolio ( lean towards SJ) but am not against a bit more growth with WEF. Balanced equity transitioning from a more growth portfolio 3-5 year outlook, high risk tolerance.

Q: My 20year old son has at least 2years of school left and has enough summer income and RESP to cover those years. He has been slowly building a portfolio that mirrors your balanced portfolio. With the take over of AVO his tech weightings are now 33% ( youth seems more comfortable with tech!). I am encouraging him to rebalance. Which do you think has the best 2+ year outlook. ATD.B, SLF, WSP or SJ on the recent pullback. Thank you for all your suggestions, this is a fun kind of “problem” to have!
