Q: Hello,

Looks like Brookfield Properties would like to take out the approximately 16% of the company it doesn't already own.The stock is trading above the $30.10 being offered for the shares/. There are rumours that there is a large shareholder of the remaining interest that is holding out for $33 or higher, do you know anything about this? Is there somewhere where one can go to find out more?

Thanks!

Q: Could you pls. recommend which of the above has the better near term stock price potential, in your view? SCB recently received their banking licence which had been a significant overhang on the stock. Urbana has finally experienced a breakout, and hold a huge position in Real Matters, which is supposed to IPO this spring.

Thanks, I joined the newsletter 10 minutes ago, after having watched and appreciated you, Peter, for about 10 years (via BNN).

Sincerely,
David

Q: I currently own DRT and wonder if it would be better to sell DRT and invest in SHOP or another tech company as my total weight in this sector is only 4% and does appears to have better growth. I currently own ENGH and KXS both at 2% weight.

Thanks

Q: Good morning,
If I sell ADW.A (which I am tempted to do) as I am trying to follow the Income Portfolio as well as the Bal. Eq. Portfolio I will need about a 5% ($35000) position in another equity to replenish the Consumer Staples sector. Currently hold ATD.B, DOL, L, and PBH. Thanks as always for your insightful responses.

Q: I am setting up a dollar cost averaging couch potato portfolio with low cost mutual funds (td e-series etc). I will be contributing money into this portfolio every month from my salary. The portfolio will consist of 25% canadian index, 30% US, 30% internatonal, 10% Emerging Market, 5% Nasdaq. My time horizon is 15 years with above average risk tolerance. The question I have is if I need to include bonds in this mix. I feel that stock will do well in the next 15 years amidst an interest rate increasing environment. I am hoping to achieve an avearge of 9% to 10% return per annum over the 15 year period. Please let us know if it is a sound plan. Thanks for the great service.

Q: I think CCL.B, RPI.UN, WPK and ITP are sort of i the packaging/labelling business so somewhat related. How would you rate these companies based on earnings potential and management competence & ability to do what they promise over 5 yr period? Also separately rate each relative to their balance sheet please.
Thank you.
