Q: Hi Ryan i note that you hold nwc in your income portfolio as do I .
My research is starting to indicate a value trap.
Then amount of volume of business that amazon is doing in the high North is increasing ten fold year over year to the point that post office are looking more like grocery warehouse.
Nwc return and sales are dropping faster than once thought.
I have reduced my position my half and am currently considering exiting in full.
It is further exasperated further when grocers in the south start getting government handouts .The competitiveness edge of the high north is disappearing
Kind regards
Stan

Q: I continue to be concerned about the market and corrections and being somewhat more defensive in my holdings. ATD.B has been held at about 3% of my total portfolio for about 3 years and it has met my expectations. Nevertheless, I realize I am under-diversified in the consumer staples sector. Would selling my ATD.B and buying XST, perhaps to a 5% level, be wise, in your opinion, or just me letting anxiety leading me to some 'churning'. I'm a senior-plus so at a stage of withdrawing from my accounts for some income.
Thanks for your input and forgive the wordiness.

Q: I have received material from Methanex from the current management/Board as well as the dissident shareholders who wish to place 4 new Board members on the Board. What would you recommend to do in this case, vote with the current management/Board, or vote to replace some of the current Board with the 4 new nominees? I only have a small position in MX.

Q: Hi 5i! Although TSGI has somewhat stabilized in a 21$-25$ range, short interest almost doubled in march, from 4M to almost 8M at the end of the month. Also, the daily order book is constantly showing selling pressure and/or weak buying, with the number of sell orders being 3x the buy orders. I would appreciate your thoughts on this situation.
Thanks and have a good weekend!

Q: Transcontinental is being used by Salt over a 2017 newspaper deal. Is this a huge impact for transcontinental shares. The shares have already been cut in half. Still a value play or trap? How much more downside with this overhang would you predict.

Q: I own PHO at 2 % weight and under water on this stock. From your comments it may not do much this year. Should I wait to see if the stock improves on their earnings or it is ok to buy to a 3% weight ? I am also looking at buying at PEO.V even though a different sector, I am putting money in the RRSP each month so could buy PEO now and more of PHO at a later date.
Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i Team

This is a general question about secondary share offerings like the one issued by Savaria recently. In coming up with the offering price, is it typically based on a fundamental analysis of the corporations value or is it just a negotiated discount to the current market price?

Thanks as always.
Peter
