Q: What is your take on the possibility that Quebecor might try to purchase Corus Entertainment, considering the massive debt that has caused most analysts to rate Corus as a strong sell and an under-perform rating. For example, National Bank views its real share price as one cent - yikes! If Quebecor could buy Corus at a 'bargain-basement' price, could this act as a tailwind for Quebecor? Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: Majority control of the Co.is by Shaw family. Do you have % share of this ownership and its board membership? Other than family ownership, are there any major share holders to influence the future of the Co.? I am assuming high Dividend is not sustainable but the majority owner do not want to change it either. So what can change this Company?

Q: I hear rumours Corus is owned by the Shaw family. The current family has been characterized as "coupon clippers" with the builders now deceased. There is speculation the family will want out especially if the dividend gets cut. The company is supposed to have valuable content with all their TV programs. I don't own the stock and I sort of doubt I would want to own it in spite of the rumour mill. Any thoughts of Corus as a possible take-over play?

Q: Considering the recent announcement regarding the declining ad revenue going forward , how safe is the dividend? Please rate On a scale of 1-10 where 10 is extremely likely to cut the dividend. Is there a turnaround story here at all? How low can it go, what’s the bottom? I’m down around 48% and very disappointed and frustrated with this investment. I’m wondering whether to cut my losses now and take a 50% loss or wait for a possible turnaround or takeover. Many thanks for the amazing service you provide.

Q: Hi team, Is there any hope of a price increase on CJR ? I own these shares at a loss in my TFSA, some of them when Shaw dumped theirs to the public 2 years ago. Dividend is good. I do not really need the money but is it dead money? I’m over 70 and am a bit worried about the market right now, so CJR might be safer than new or riskier purchases in the coming months? Thanks.
