Q: Thanks for clarifying the debt repayments. I should have also asked what the total debt is now for the company. I know that the company said reducing debt would be a focus for them going forward. Did they speak specifics in their conference and do you consider the repayment schedule to be reasonably aggressive?

Thanks for the insight.

Q: Could you comment on DH's debt position? You reported that they paid down $200m of debt in the last quarter whereas I read elsewhere they paid down $20 million so I am wondering where the typo lies. Given their recurring income streams, I would think paying off $800m of debt annually would leave them in pretty good stead.

Thanks for your help.

Q: I'm a late 20s investor looking to augment my company group retirement rrsp (invested in MF's - Index/Mawer) with individual stocks. My goal is to add positions until I'm close to the Balanced Equity portfolio.
At this time, which of the above (or another if there is a better option that I haven't listed) would be a good idea to start with? Thanks in advance.

Q: I have 1/2 of position in STN, and and 1/4 position in WSP. I am down about 2-3% on STN. I am fine with both, but was wondering if I should consolidate to WSP. Two reasons, reduce stocks I own get more concentrated portfolio, and get more significant position in one Engineering company.

Q: As we move into the tax loss selling period, is it not possible (probable?) that DH Corp could take another big hit before year's end? After holding for several years with good initial gains I'm now in the red. Wondering about selling & possibly buying back in January if price action improves... your thoughts? Also not sure what you meant by still an "official" hold for now... sounds like a thinly veiled 'sell'. Many thx for your insights.

Q: I know you have high regard for MDA but had frustration with it's performance. Today the market is reacting badly to recent news. Do you think reaction is overdone or does this reaffirm your decision to drop it from your portfolio. I own 200 MDA right now and am wondering if this is an opportunity to "average down" my cost, or just throwing good money after bad. Your thoughts please...
