Investment Q&A

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

Q: The multi voting shares trade at a ~5% premium to the subordinates, is there a coattail provision for the sub shares in the event of a takeover/privatization and how likely is this considering the family ownership?

TCL.a is in the Income portfolio at a 2.5% weight and 38% reduction from purchase price, would you consider the weight appropriate, and with an event such as a takeover would you expect a premium close to what was paid for the shares or could it possibly be a takeunder?

Q: I used the recent weakness to add TCL to my portfolio a few weeks back when I felt the slide had ended. Starting to feel like I jumped in too early with the further drops in the past week... Are you still strong supporters of TCL in the income portfolio? It does have a good yield so not an issue if you still like the company long term.

Q: You recently said in an answe to Gerry’s question that you didn’t see transcontinental as a growth stock. Please don’t take this as a criticism, but I remember a couple of years ago or so, that you recommended it because of the promise it’s new packaging acquisition offered. At that time I understood that you thought it had some wind in it’s sails. Just trying to understand if you think that this didn’t pan out. Or, if perhaps you offered it as an income stock at that time.
Thanks as always for your great assistance

Q: In an account I look after, the goals are capital preservation and income generation. There is sufficient diversification from other holdings. Some changes are required and I am considering either one of or both of EIF and TCL.A. Their market cap is below $2B; do you see them as reasonably secure and stable. If you had to choose only one, what would you go for? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Concerns me when a position reports good numbers in a strong market but the stock doesnt react. Recent examples are DOO and TCL.A A guest on BNN mentioned DOO has presold the complete manufacturing run of 2022 Ski Doo's. With this in mind earnings should be stellar this year but going foward the bar is set very high for comparisons. I've trimmed DOO once and still have a 6% weighting after having it more than double since the first purchase. Considering exiting the position altogether. Thoughts on both companies and my theory, thanks.
