Q: Hi there
I was thinking of investing about 2.5% of a diversified portfolio in Fairfax Financial as a bit of a hedge on the maket not really going the way it is going now - up. But I see today Fairfax is removing many of it hedging positions betting the market would decline. Two questions:
1) Will this cost them much to get out of these contracts and will this affect their next quarter results?
2) Given it has pulled way back from its highs do you see it as a buy here?
Much thanks
Stuart

Q: Having an Income portfolio including the above companies, I'm unsure of the effects of a potential increase in US rates in say December 2016 when at the same time the Bank of Canada holds rates or even maintains dovish tone signally near term rate cut. Will holding Canadian interest rates steady offset what would otherwise be negative pressure of a US rate increase on Canadian dividend paying stocks? Thanks
Q: I am primarily building an income portfolio for retirement in 5-6 years. It will represent about 30-40% of my retirement income. Alongside this I like to invest in some equities for capital gains. My question revolves around the need for any value investments I have owned EFV for about 10 years and really has done nothing. I also own the Chou 100 and 102 funds. My question is whether or not you think to be properly diversified one should have some money in value investments. If so, what ones would you recommend.
Thank You
Paul
