Q: Good Morning: Would like your opinion on WEF, particularly in regard to the solidity, or lack thereof, of the dividend, and its management's ability to weather the current out of favour status of forestry products. Any other comments in regard to the company would also be helpful. Thanks, Don

Q: I have a 1/2 position in ADN looking for dividends and a little growth. I have some cash to add to ADN or go to the west coast and start a position in WEF. WEF is down to its 52 week low I presume because of the strike. Time frame 3 to 5 years and moderate risk.
Thanks Greg

Q: Enb in my portfolio has a book value of $42.16
And a yield of 7%. It now represents 10% of my portfolio. This my largest position in a portfolio of $630000. I generally buy for dividend and growth. Maybe I should reduce my position in ENB and take a 5% position in another dividend paying stock with growth potential. eg. CM or other opportunities. Any suggestions.

Q: Hello: Wondering what the current payout ratio for this stock is based on both earnings and cash flow. I have read your recent responses re WEF and would just like to confirm that you do not plan to remove it from the portfolio in the next 6 months or less. As always, many thanks.
Q: do you think this is the bottom for the lumber stocks and time to get in? specifically looking at Western Timber.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Good Morning
The announced production curtailment by WEF coupled with the SP slide over the past several months makes me feel like I'm flogging a dead horse. I'm down almost 40% and the road to recovery seems long. Time to dump and move on?

Q: Two questions:
I read this morning about Canfor shutting down a BC interior mill due to lack of raw log inventory and processing costs. The article indicated that more mill shutdowns in BC will be inevitable due to the same factors.
Does WEF have a sufficiently large inventory of harvestable trees to avoid shutting down any of their mills in the foreseeable future? What about the processing costs at their mills. Are they at the lower cost end compared to other mills?
Thanks as always
Peter

Q: I have some extra cash to add to the balanced portfolio. Can you select 3 of these stocks that present the best purchase opportunities at the moment for a long-term hold?
Q: Is there a bottom for this company ?
Q: WEF seems to be in a free fall, it lost almost 25% of value in less than 2 months. I currently have 4% position in WEF, down about 20%. What is your opinion of WEF near and long term prospects? Do you see it as a buy, hold, or sell at current prices?
Q: These three companies are a part of balanced equity model portfolio as of last report. All three are down somewhere in the range of 15-20% since April 30. Do you still like/recommend them (i.e. are they still a "buy") or there is a change in your views and you are going to dump them and replace in BE portfolio?
Q: WEF has been in losing ground for a year, and seems to have been range-bound for the four years previous. Do you think that yet more bad news on duties is already priced-in, or could things get quite a bit worse from here? Interestingly, Tier 2 data shows a disproportion of bids (vs asks) close-by the trading price; I would have thought this implied buyer confidence in future prospects - yet the price is not being supported.
Q: The dividend is over 5% now but have they ever cut it in the past.
