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.

Q: Hi 5i,
Somehow I let myself get seduced by Corus and bought in some time ago, and I'm now sitting on a fairly large (but so far unrealized) loss in a registered account. I've kept thinking there's potential and I'll at least get to the point where I'm only down 50% and will unload then, but things only seem to get worse. So my questions:
Now that it's so cheap is there any reasonable prospect that Corus might be seen as worthwhile takeover target by anyone out there such that the stock could possibly get a bump, or should I just put that thought down to wishful thinking, take my lumps and put what (little) money I'll get from selling into something with better prospects?
And who might such a white knight be, if you think there could be one?
Thanks,
Peter
