Q: Hi Peter and Group
How do you view the $50 million increase in credit recently obrained by Badger. I think company quarter reporting is not too far off. I am down considerably on the stock and wonder if this will be material to their quarterly report Thanks for all your good work. I have learned a lot since taking up membership, I think.

Q: Peter

I have $55,000 in Bell Alliant(BA), $80,000 in B.C.E. and $30,000 in Telus which is approximately 8.5% of the equity portion of my portfolio . I will incur approximately a $10,000 capital gain if I sell Bell Alliant as opposed to exchanging shares for B.C.E. as per recent proposal. Alternatively, if I sold Bell Alliant, I could put the funds into Telus to provide more balance. What are your thoughts on this? Is 8.5% too high a concentration in telecommunications, given our present government's continuous threat to shakeup or shakedown the industry?

Q: I have owned Enghouse (ESL) for several months and while it has not shown any price growth I know that you are quite high on the stock. However, you seem to equally like Evertz (ET) for many of the same reasons you like ESL but given that ET pays a healthy dividend , I was wondering if I should switching from ESL to ET.

Looking forward to your insight.

Q: Hello Peter,
Below is an extract from S"E"D"I" showing an officer of Enghouse being short 20,000 shares of the company. He is long 30,000 options but it seems strange that an officer would actually sell his companies shares short. Not a big short position but still strange in my opinion. Any comment on the short position, and any thoughts on the merit of adding to an initial ESL position at this time. The other holdings in this area are AVO and CSU.
Many thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and team. I trust you are getting better and better Peter. I own XTC, LNR and MG all around 2.6% to 3+% of a very well diversified PF thanks to you. Taxes are not a problem as I am in a low bracket for 2014. My XTC and LNR are down for me a bit. MG is up. I want to sell one of them and then buy more of AYA which I bought at $6.48 thanks to you - or SYZ which I own as well. Or I may buy new - QST, or CXR or PLI. I am doing this as an aggressive move for the next year or 2. Which should I sell? and then buy? I hope you are all having a very good summer and thanks for all you do!
