Q: Good morning 5i team,
What is you opinion of the sale of Torstar for .63 /share. It appears to be below cash on hand and below book value of the company. Only Vertical Scope has BV of $115.3 million . Why would Fairfax support the deal when they paid a much higher price for their 40% and be willing to take a massive loss ?? Something does not feel right about this transaction.
Thanks,
George

Q: Frontline is a shadow of its former self a decade ago. It has finally shown some signs of life in the last year: shows a 34% dividend. The fact that it actually still has a dividend seems remarkable.

Is this company buyable here? Is it better managed and is that dividend likely to continue. Was the dividend cut over the last 10 year or eliminated at all during this time/

Thanks for your insights here.

Q: What are some good companies to buy now with a dividend of over 6%. For context I'm in my 20s and have been investing mainly for growth but I'd like to add some more yield to my overall portfolio so safety is not a huge concern.

Q: Hi,
Wallbridge keeps announcing positive news regarding the amount of possible gold deposits on it's properties.
I own the stock and am very happy with the returns. Given where things stand at present. when would this company start producing gold? Is this a 5, 10, more year time frame?
Also, given the management team, what would be their ultimate end game? To build producing mines or get taken over?
I plan to keep holding this stock for the long term. At this time do you any issues with this company?
Thanks,
Dan

Q: When considering weightings of a particular stock do you look at the weight as a percentage of just a stock portfolio, or would you consider it as a percentage of stock portfolio plus defined pension. For example, CSU has grown to 9% of my stock portfolio, but if I include my defined pension it is 3.5%. So if I consider only the stock portfolio then I would consider trimming (to maybe 7%) whereas if I include my pension in my calculations I have no need to trim.
