Q: Hi,

Care to comment on RBC's downgrade of BIN? One of their main key points was BIN's significant footprint in energy producing locales and they feel that BIN could experience pricing and volume pressures as crude prices impact regional GDP. In your last response to a question on BIN you said,"We added it to the portfolios largely because of its leverage to lower oil prices, its US revenue (60%) and its largely recession-proof business." Do you think RBC's concerns about lower crude affecting pricing trump the benefits of cheaper transport costs? It would appear the market does, BIN down 5% today after not much volatility lately.

thanks.

Q: Hi Gang,

It looks like Aston Hill (AHF) is looking to sell itself according to information from PREFBLOG on April 16 as follows:

“Aston Hill is looking for a buyer:

Executives at Aston Hill Financial Inc. have been shopping their firm to other asset managers, hoping to find a buyer.
Over the past two months, senior employees at Aston Hill have reached out to several Canadian firms and expressed interest in selling their company, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.

The overtures have been made at a volatile time for the company, which recently lost a high profile mandate to manage $2.2-billion ‎worth of funds for IA Clarington Investments Inc. which prompted Aston Hill to slash its dividend.”

What would happen to the share price (currently 81 cents) if a sale occurred?

Any thoughts on when or if this may happen?

Thanks
John

Q: Hi 5i team,

What are your thoughts on continuing to hold badger? It has had a bit of stock momentum over the past month, but has still been affected by the gloom in the energy sector. Would you recommend continuing to hold badger for the long term or do you think it would be better to switch to a company exposed to an industry more in favour from your growth portfolio? I already own a good portion of your balanced and growth portfolio so I would likely top up my positions or purchase kinaxis as it currently has stock momentum. My position in badger is around 3 percent.

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: The current share price is being dragged down because of the Nasdaq listing and the Canada-US dollar exchange rate. Aren't the profits made in this company in american dollars and shouldn't that be supporting the stock? Do you think Wi-lan management should drop US listing?
