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

Q: I have capital gains for the year and I am looking at selling the losers to help reduce the tax hit. I have a loss on TSGI and I am wondering if/when I should sell. I like the company and would want to replace the stock after the 30 day period. Given the next earnings report is Nov 7 is it better to sell before or after that date or is timing even worth considering?
Thanks
Mike

Q: Good morning,
I have a question regarding tsgi. You guys have followed tsgi/amaya for quite some time with good success. Last quarter they guided lower and the market responded accordingly. Do you foresee them guiding lower again? Has there been any occurrences in their history where they guided lower but surprised to the upside? My gut tells me they were conservative in their last outlook. Comments? What is the street consensus?
Cheers

Q: During this pullback I have been adding what I think are high quality Canadian mid to large caps with decent growth profiles and pretty good balance sheets (CAE, TOY, GIB.a, WCN, KXS, X).

I'm thinking now of adding to my existing small cap positions starting with Park Lawn (PLC-ca) and Andrew Peller (ADW.a-ca). How would you view each company's debt levels and growth profile.

Thanks.

Q: In your answer to Dennis you indicated cash flow was 33 cents were 44 was expected. However normalized cash flow rose from 24 cents to 44. What is "normalized" and is that the 44 cents that was expected? Sounds like one of those "alternate truths" we hear about these days.
The sale of $1b in assets seems to have rattled stock holders however isn't that Brookfield's forte; sell fully valued assets and use the funds to buy the bargains they see in emerging markets and US public equity markets.
In summary I am wondering if I should buy shares at the current price to return the holding to 5%.
Your assistance is, as always , appreciated.

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on the weak price performance of PBH stock. PKI by contrast is much stronger although the metrics of PBH are at least comparable. For example both have high debt over 120% of equity. Both have forward earnings growth over 30% and both trade on a forward PE below the 5 year low PE. The big difference is the price action. PKI trades close to median price that analysts estimate for next year whereas PBH is well below those estimates. I am assuming you prefer the good price momentum of PKI and, all being equal, you would go with PKI despite the apparent better value in PBH? Your thoughts would be appreciated.
