Q: This is kind of a followup on your reply Sept 28. I think that these are cyclical stocks which are best bought when the sector is out of favor and depressed. Are they still buys this late in the cycle? Is the selloff of 1/3 just a retracement before another leg up, or is it over and time to clear out? To you what indicates when this lumber cycle is over?

Q: So what do we do with Linamar. Do we hold it or sell? I had assumed with the agreement on trade between USA and Canada that the stock would be a good company to own. Not so it seems. Any idea why? Is it a concern that we are nearing the end of the automobile cycle and earnings will start to trend down? There is a thought that we are in the last inning for companies such as Magna and Linamar . Do you concur? Anyway the stock seems to be unloved, not sure why . Perhaps you can shed some light on this. How do you see earnings over the next 2 years?
