Q: Hello,
I have kept averaging down on this and currently have big losses. Yesterday, a BNN guest said that this is a non investable company.

Should I just sell and bank the loses? It's a registered account so can't even claim losses, keep average down? Hold my nose for a year or so? Can it go belly up?

Thanks
Marios

Q: I own these 4 stocks in my TFSA account in which SIS is 2% holding overall all accounts and the other 3 are 1% overall. From reading the questions that have been asked on theses 4 stocks , you feel that DRT is a hold as well as GUD? I would like to increase my holdings so do think that it would be best to add to PLI and SIS at this time and not GUD or DRT?

Thanks
Dolores

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Superior announced the following today:

TORONTO - Superior Plus Corp. (TSX:SPB) is selling its construction products distribution business to a U.S. company for the equivalent of C$420 million.

The US$325-million agreement was announced Tuesday by Toronto-based Superior, a few days after the collapse of a proposed takeover of Canexus Corp., a Calgary-based chemical company.

Superior Plus has a diversified business in three industries, including propane distribution and specialty chemicals.

It says the divestment of its construction products business will simplify Superior's organization and provide cash to reduce debt.

What is your take on this? Do you think they'll achieve their goal of debt reduction? (SPB has been a frustrating stock for me, as I bought it at $11.75, and it closed yesterday at $10.94. However, the yield of 6.75% is nice, given that I hold SPB in my RRIF.)

Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: I am confused about Intertain, which I like. It took a hit a while back because of the controversy surrounding gaming stocks, but earnings are doing quite well, growth is on track, and evaluation seems (to me) low, especially with good growth prospects. I realize that BREXIT calls into question a take-over of parts or all of the company, but I thought if a take-over happened it would be around $20. Why are we sitting at $10? Do you think the metrics merit such a (low) stock price?

Q: As a long time holder of Superior, I was disappointed when they bid for Canexus, just when they were improving their debt situation. What is your opinion of SPB if the Canexus deal goes through, compared to if it doesn't. Which would be better for the company, long-term? Do you consider the dividend reasonably safe in either event?

Thank-you

Q: I currently own PWF and down 18% and it is in a non rrsp account.I can write this loss with a gain in another stock in which I am over weight and wondered if SLF or FSZ would be a better replacement for PWF? I own no other stock in the insurance sector but own BNS and TD for the financial sector.
