Q: This company currently has 14% subordinated notes (TBL.NT) issued that mature September 1, 2020. Last trade was at 114.5. I reviewed the annual report and noted that almost 53% of these notes are held by insiders. The balance sheet shows negative shareholders' equity but the company reported after tax profit of over 11 million in each of its last two fiscal years. I'm thinking of buying some of these notes in my RSP as fixed income exposure and would appreciate your comments.

Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited Subordinate Voting Shares (FFH $2,245.00)
-
Enercare Inc. (ECI $28.99)
Q: FFH and ECI have set new lows. Their charts are ghastly and their RSI numbers are in the oversold category, especially FFH. I am now at the point where I am debating adding more funds to these stocks (buy low, right?) or selling them and moving on. Currently they are a small part of my portfolio: FFH 1.2% and ECI 1%. I can see that ECI has fallen with income stocks, but I would appreciate your views on the collapse of FFH stock.
Q: You didn't mention Supreme Pharmaceuticals (SL) in the list of marijuana stocks in response to Chris's query.

Q: Between BCE and T, which would be your pick for growth and income, in that order? If I added CGX to the mix (recognizing it is in a different sector), where would it fit in with the other two? Please also include some rationale for your answer.
Thank-you

Q: Greetings
Have you ever considered a list of stocks to own, dare I say it, forever? Something so enduring that you can almost set it and forget it. My list would include Berkshire Hathaway, Phillip Morris, Coca Cola. It would discourage frequent trading, focusing on price targets, hand wringing over every quarterly, etc.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

Q: Trying to decide if I should hold onto AD or buy something like LAS.A instead. More interested in growth than income. Any comments appreciated.
Q: Hello,
In your response to a question about tax loss selling you mentioned that you've noticed some strange trading in some stocks this week. Just wondering if you see any good long-term companies that have been "kicked to the curb" recently due to tax loss selling. Air Boss seems to be one that is consistently making new lows in what seems like a daily basis and Black Diamond Group has plummeted since reporting disappointing results a few weeks ago (you have a B- rating on BDI as of Jan 2015). Any names fit the bill as tax loss victims?
Many thanks,
Kent

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
You and your Team are good at answering impossible questions so I have another one for you. Firstly, you have a well diversified portfolio consisting of 23 stocks which is performing very well. All factors considered ...if you had to pick one of these for best value for either a short term trade or a 3-5 year period which would it be?
Thanks for your opinion which always provides another valuable dimension in dealing with Mr.Market!

Q: Good Morning,
Several of the Marijuana growing IPOS are showing tremendous gains recently with the legalization across CA, and prospectively within Canada. I wanted your take on the future of that industry. Are we looking at a dot com type buy out situation as the BW or PM get into the game with existing infrastructure or so you foresee a fizzles end to hype. Would you join the party, if so where?
Thanks,
Eric

Q: If you own the stock should you sell at the recent price ($5.18) or is there any point in waiting for a higher value ? Is there any reason the regulators will not approve the buy-out by the U.S. parent ?
