Q: 'Interesting' to see STN selling MWH. The market seems to like this news this morning.

The purchase of MWH in 2016 seemed hopeful, when in 2016 it was hoped to "boost Stantec’s annual revenues by nearly 60 per cent", but there never was a big impact.

I have about 3.5% of my portfolio in STN and held STN since 2004, but thinking it may be time to sell and add to my WSP position which is also 3.5% of my portfolio.

How do you think the sale of MWH will impact STN's prospects for the next 2 years? Is it possible to say at this point?

Thanks.

Q: I have substantial capital gains on both these securities in both my cash account and in my TFSA. I propose to make some transfers in kind from (in Dec.) and to (in Jan.) using the holdings in the cash account. I would like to sell some of one or the other of PKI or NFI from the cash account now and use those proceeds to buy the other in the cash account. The question is -- of these two, which do you think has the better prospects over the next 24 to 30 months? I appreciate that I'm dealing with different sectors and will keep my diversification in mind. Thanks for your thoughts, they always help. Bill

Q: Are you expecting a good Christmas for TOY ? Any insight as to new toys. I saw some weeks ago that some of their toys were voted by young participants as good ones.
Lack of Toys R Us in USA is a negative but Mom & Dad will find other avenues to purchase them. Deal with BABA must be a positive. I think it is looking good. Your thoughts please. I am considering increasing my holdings in TOY. RAK
