Q: Hello,
Just wanted to get your opinion on starting a position in TFI at current prices with holding period 5+ years. No doubt a slowing economy doesn't help but lower fuel prices may mitigate that. Also, they have bought back over 2 million shares, have recently sold there waste business which lowers their debt load, growing and well covered dividend. Any insights appreciated and thank you in advance.
Cheers!

Q: I have been a holder of Transforce for several years. My thesis for hanging on to it is that the company participates to some degree in the growth of ecommerce. I believe strongly in the future of ecommerce, but find it hard to find reasonably priced companies in that area to invest in. That is why I have invested in a shipper rather than the Amazons of the world. My questions are:
1) do TFI earnings in fact have a significant correlation to ecommerce or is that more apparent than real?
2) is FDX a buy right now on the ecommerce thesis? always seems out of my valuation and dividend is so low!
3) are there any other companies out there that you would recommend that fit into this theme (they don't have to be a shipper, I have looked there only because I like earnings and a dividend in the stocks I buy)
Cheers and good luck fellow investors!

Q: TFI/CSS
About 4 weeks ago I was preparing to add a position of CSS into my non registered portfolio. This is about the time the TFI take over came to light. My question now is should I wait for the dust to settle? Depending on outcome would TFI be a better choice for this sector, and if given stock price would now be the time to add a position?

Thanks

Phil

Q: Hello Peter,
Need your guidance in deciding between TMA and TFI. I realize they are not in the same league in terms of Market Cap, but I feel more comfortable with the fundamentals in place with TMA. However, I am seeing momentum building with TFI and like their forward plan. Which do you see as having the best forward value and / or the best potential for growth?
Thanks as always for your help!

Q: I would like to get your opinion on a few poor performers in my portfolio (they are the majority of my holdings). I have had Trans Force for a year now. I bought TLB recently. COM was one of the best performers on my watch list, then had a shore issue and the stock dropped, and I purchased it, but it continues to drop. Are any of these still worth holding? I noticed from reading your questions and from watching the news that CSU was downgraded. Do you think that it is a buying opportunity?
Thanks for your great advise,
Dennis
