Q: Hi guys. Any red flags with High Liner's results? Is lowering the company's debt levels from 4.4x to 4x from the end of 2014 to the end of 2015 acceptable progress in lowering debt levels?

Lastly, when companies announce share buybacks, they normally say they may purchase up to a maximum number of 5% or 10% of the shares outstanding. Now normally, come the end of the year, most of those same companies dont come anywhere close to fulfilling the maximum number of shares they could have purchased. So given there is no obligation to purchase the maximum number of shares in the NCIB plan, any ideas why would High Liner Foods announce a share buyback program with the ability of only buying 150,000 shares, or 0.86% of the company's float?

Thanks again for your thoughts and insights.

John

Q: According to media reports Venezuela is on the verge of bankruptcy and the more the oil price falls the greater the odds. From the Scotia Global site:
"Scotiabank is proud to have a strong presence in Venezuela through ... Banco del Caribe"

How strong is their presence there and will default have long term effects on BNS shares? I note it is a 3.6% position in the BE portfolio which presumably went in at 5%. Thanks, J.

Q: I purchased GC in 2015 and am currently down 27%. It's rated B in your rankings. The stock price is down to at best sideways, it does not pay a dividend. Not a lot of positives to say.

!)Would you hold it given where it is and the outlook.
2)If not, what would you replace it with that won't be 'dead' money?

I currently own all 3 of your portfolios.

Thanks

Sheldon
