Q: Good Afternoon;

Since late July Acadian has been in a steady downtrend that seems inconsistent with both the price trend for lumber and the latest Trump tariffs. I am trying to understand what is driving this downtrend, as some of their production (Maine) would not be subject to a tariff and lumber prices seem not to have "added" the tariff but absorbed it.

I own it as an income stock in a LIF. Aside from the drivers of the stock in the short term I am interested in dividend risk; is it or should it be a concern? Lastly, given the decline in price is there a trigger price you would be comfortable with to buy? I am considering adding at current yields.

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: CLPBY - COLOPLAST A S AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS SPONSORED

Hi guys

I have followed Coloplast (Danish company I believe) for a very long time as a good safe, reliable health care play, with an interesting way to play the aging demographic trend. I notice also that it is near a 52 week low and has trended downward generally the last 5 years. Probably not a great chart.

And realizing you don't generally follow too closely European stocks, do you have any thoughts on the company, its products, whether it has a moat around its products (seem to be a bit sticky once people start to use them), and its current valuation? A buyor better stocks in the health care products area?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: Hi, it seems that for several months, many analysts have considered Dollarama to be overvalued. However, the price is about 5% lower than when it hit its high in June. I already have a half position, and wonder what you would consider a good entry point? Thank you for your service!

Q: The price of HSAV is the same as 2.5 months ago and the premium shrunk to 0.14%, which seem to be extremely low considering the tax advantage of HSAV. Is it because there are a lot of sellers and nobody wants to keep money in cash these days? Does it have something to do with the CDN$? Or there are other reasons for such a poor performance of this fund lately?
