Q: COR, the US data center REIT, is down 7% in the first 2 hours today . There was one downgrade---just one analyst (Cowen). I have searched for other news and found none. I don't have the Cowen report; perhaps you have access? Other analysts have not reported anything negative. And neither is there any other news [ yet] that I could find to justify the suden report. Granted, based on just numbers alone COR did look overvalued, and Robos did conclude that as they are based on just robotic (automated) analytics. So, what has changed? It is tempting to buy COR.(the Ex-div is a couple of days yet holders are dumping). Clearly , the market knows something that has not yet been reported. What gives, do you know/can you tell? Does Cowen have THIS much impact? I doubt that, so there must be something else surely? What is your view on today’s price on this US REIT? You have favored COR.us in the recent past.

Q: Regarding my earlier q on NRGY you mentioned that it was trading at a discount of around 3.5% and explained that there were some good reasons not to like the mutual fund that it would roll into.
But given that closed it closed at 5.52 and Ninepoint shows NAV as 6.03 it could - at that price - be purchased at a discount of about 8%, no? If that were the case, would it not have made sense - apart from the commodity risk - for a fund which will close in about 4 weeks and for which an investor would receive its NAV?
(I was really asking whether I was missing something in the conversion process from NRGY to NPP008)

Q: Hi Team: The price collapse in TCW seems overdone considering the overall financial improvement in this company.What would be the book value of TCW and could it buy back more aggressively it's stock considering the compeling valuation? I am considering averaging down late into tax selling season and thinking two to three years hold.
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: WRT your recent DHX report, I think it leaves out some significant assets: Cash, short term investments, and the Peanuts sale cash. Can you check these numbers:

1) Net debt = $760M - $246M Cash/short term investments - $237M Peanuts sale = $277M
2) I think Current median EV/sales multiples for the media content assets is around 1.8x (confirm?). I believe peanuts sold to Sony closer to 3x (confirm?). I'm not sure the exact net revenue Peanuts brings to DHX?
3) If we assume the 49% sold peanuts stake contributed ~$100M in revenue, the DHX projected revenue would drop to say around $350M. So we are looking at $350M x 1.8 = $630M of content assets.
4) Margin of safety: $630M = $277M net debt + Equity;
Equity = $353M, compared to under $200M current market cap.

This company is certainly a cigar butt, which I picked up close to $1. Seems to have a couple puffs left?

Q: In my cash account, I am down 22% on BABA, up 52% on ALGN and up 54% on TRHC . Would you claim a loss on BABA and buy either ALGN or TRHC? Sectors are not an issue. I do like BABA, but the war between Trump and China seems not to be resolved in the near future.

Q: NRGY is trading about 9% below NAV this morning (Based on Friday's closing NAV and this morning's moves in oil equities). Given that the fund is being closed and rolled into Ninepoint's energy mutual fund, does is it make sense to buy if you are okay with owning the mutual fund?
Also, do you have to accept the mutual fund or can you request cash when a fund is closed like this?

Q: I need a little more information about the Hydro One Installment Receipts. They represent debentures? How many IRs per $1000 debenture?

If the transaction goes through, how many H shares does a holder receive for each receipt? (Is it based on a fixed number of shares, or a fixed value?).

If the deal does not go through, what does the receipt receive (a fixed $ amount)?
