Q: Good morning, Please comment on Versabank's recent quarter. Also, how does their forward PE compare to similar companies and the big banks? They now have a book vallue of $9.98 vs, stock value around $7.30, why the gap? Also, any thoughts on their new initiatives, specifically Versa Vault. I know you removed this from the growth portfolio early this year, do you think you would put it back in based on growing divvy and new initiatives?
Thanks
Rob

Q: I believe TV is being hit hard by tax loss selling and may now be way oversold as it is hitting all time lows. Your comments a few weeks ago were that the balance sheet is fine, It is very cheap on a cash flow basis, and production is good. Costs are improving, and the company is targeting a further $50M reduction in costs. You did caution that as a small market cap, down 58% in a year, you thought it may stay weak into year end. I am a patient, long term investor so short term pain does not bother me, but before I invest I always like to get your opinion. My questions are:
1) do you still believe TV is financially sound and will survive?
2) with tax loss selling and negative company/sector sentiment being reflected in the all time low stock price that TV may be setting itself up as a good/excellent risk/reward investment?

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: Hi Gentlemen ,

My US portfolio has a few laggards in it that have underperformed the market. I'm not sure if their underperformance is a temporary blip or a permanent tumor.

I'll list them below so I can get a fresh perspective from you on them and whether you think that they are worth holding or not.

Many thanks.
