Q: I do not currently have a position in GIL. It seems to be recovering well after the recent earnings miss. Would this be a good time to initiate a position?

Q: See previous question below - obliviously bad advise + poor judgment on my part Anyway in order to salvage something I bought 200 shares LSPD back today in another account. Am right in assuming that the loss in the first account still stands and that as long as I do not buy any thru that account I will still be able to claim the loss?. Thanks PS do you see LSPD going back to test the $49 high in the next short time ? Appreciate you guidance (win some lose some )
I recently sold LSPD to crystalize a tax loss I sold it on Nov 22 for $29:72 presently its at $31 and change. I sold it after getting your opinion on tax loss selling. When I asked the question I was specific about LSPD and pointed out the risk of the stock increasing beyond the $4599 loss in the 30 day window. (always planned on buying it back. Anyway in the last 2 days the stock has gone up over 2 dollars (I had 800 shares so that approx. $1600) I am getting nervous about the stock rallying. Can I have your thoughts should I buy it back now before it takes off and goes back up to previous high of $49 ? or?

Q: Much like KL's acquisition of Detour Gold, it doesn't seem that investors like Sun Life's arrangement with its subsidiary, Sun Life Vietnam Insurance and Tien Phong Commercial Bank (TPBank) which have formed a 15-year bancassurance partnership in Vietnam .
The agreement combines TPBank's distribution network with Sun Life Vietnam's market-leading life insurance products, giving 2.5 million TPBank customers access to a comprehensive range of innovative insurance solutions.
May I have your thoughts on the share price drop? Short term? Perhaps a switch to MFC is in order.
Thank you

Q: Hi folks
I sold SIS at a loss in my non registered account. However I also own it in my TFSA and my RRIF at a gain. Does this make my loss null and void? I may buy it back in my non registered in 30 days. Also you had mentioned that you would like to see SIS break at $14.15... But is it good to buy now (if I decide to add to my TFSA holding).? Or would that also break the 30 day rule?
Thank you again for a good year.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My wife needs to convert her RRSP to a RRIF. She presently holds BAD (still up 82%) and SIS (presently down 17%). We're considering selling BAD and buying more SIS in order to reduce the number of holdings and to be able to replace a stock that appears to be on a downward trajectory (BAD) with one that seems to have gained momentum (SIS). Please comment on this strategy, and thanks in advance.

Q: Is csu overvalued? Thank you rose
Q: Between Nov 15 and Nov 18, one director sold 41000 shares of SIS , reducing his holding in his personal account to 76500 shares. proceeds $592000. He also divested 23667 shares from an account in which he has indirect ownership, eliminating this account position, proceeds $341000. Does it mean he has no confidence in this company? Could I have your comments please. Thanks a lot

Q: On Oct 30 Go Easy put out a press release about an enhancement to their credit facility by a syndicate of banks. Since then the stock has done well along with a positive earning release.
The question here is more educational but when the banks give out these credit facility and assuming they have an investment arm dealing in mutual funds etc is the exception for those fund mangers to buy GSY in their funds if it fits the fund profile? Trying to get a sense of the relationship here (if any)

Q: Hi guys. Read your report back in July about Stella Jones (A- rating) What are your current thoughts on SJ as a long term hold for materials exposure? I currently own in an RRSP. Anything you would suggest as a better company to replace SJ with in that sector and why you would do so?

GDI Integrated Facility Services Inc. Subordinate Voting Shares (GDI $27.92)
Q: Even though the business seemed a bit boring (auto glass and collision repair), I bought BOYD quite a while ago and it has done very well. I see some comparisons with GDI: expansion into USA and consolidation in a fragmented industry. I realize they are very different companies, but I'm wondering if you could say a few words about similarities and differences. And maybe comment on management and strategy in the two companies. I have read your report on GDI and find it an interesting analysis of a boring business. Specifically, I wondering whether you think GDI has the promise that BOYD did when you first wrote about it. Thanks for great service, as always.
Q: Yesterday they announced the end of the relationship with Medison . However they ignored the deal with Onconova ONTX.
ONTX had a press release but GUD ignored it.
On Sedar the Medison news is posted but not ONTX. Any insight as to why ? Too small a deal perhaps ?
Thanks

Q: Hi !
I am looking for a way to eventually get out of TSGY with minimal loss. In my present situation, I see no advantage to increase the capital losses in my portfolio. I am holding 270 shares of TSGI bought at $45.93 which gives me a 32% loss presently.
Buying more shares of TSGI now, let us say 130, would allow me to reduce my loss if I can sell at a higher price later.
What do you think of such a scenario and on the potential of appreciation of TSGI in the future ?
Gratefully,
Jacques, IDS

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
To increase my Industrial exposure, I recently bought 300 shares of GDI, and am down about 1.5% so far. Would GDI be a good candidate for tax loss selling, or do I run the risk of having to buy it back at a higher price after 30 days? Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Q: GDI: 5i seems to like this company at 30 x FPE, a lot of debt.. What am I missing? In general, I only buy large cap "dividend growers". I have only bought 2 growth type stocks before BAD and ACQ which I held for a few years and sold at huge profits - both never to return to their previous highs - so, never considered them core positions. The same would apply to GDI; however, a little gun shy on this one at these highs.
Q: Looks Lspd may go down to $ 28 again, your thoughts please or if not what would be support price level? Many thanks

Q: Good morning all,
In an earlier answer to Dave it was suggested that "we might sell ..... and one of KXS/CSU. For clarification does this mean that you somehow consider KXS and CSU somewhat equivalent? I was surprised to see these two companies considered as one or other type positions and would appreciate a bit of an explanation.
Many thanks,
Brian

Could you please comment on the trajectory of the share price, as the decline has been mostly unabated from it's high of $48. Is this a revaluation on the multiple ?
