Q: Hi team,

This is my first non-tech question in quite a while. I try to balance my tech stocks with some names in other sectors. CF came to my attention today from a TD report. It is on one of my watch lists but I haven’t followed it closely in a couple of years. TD gives it a Buy, Higher Risk rating with a target of $9.50 although I don’t find target prices very meaningful. Part of their rationale is CF’s recent purchase of U.S.-based advisory firm Petsky Prunier, who focus on mid-market segments and have a growing presence in the cannabis space for IPOs and mergers in the U.S. CF itself seems to have a strong presence in cannabis deals in Canada and potentially internationally. The cannabis segment is here to stay, regardless of the high valuations. I am not a weed guy as such, but if CF can continue to grab a good chuck of these deals, it may bode well for it.

What are the pros and cons of an investment in CF at this time? I notice you gave it a B- in your Company report last August, which is not a strong grade, but perhaps things have changed.

Thanks again.
Dave

Q: Recently you stated "We find it a bit interesting today. Management is under the gun to show it did the right thing by fighting the HSE takeover attempt. " My impression of the CEO interview on BNN last Friday was they are focusing on debt reduction with no intention of production increase. I'm pretty sure your not "a bit interested" because you expect a jump in the price of oil , management has indicated no production increase, I'm curious as to your rationale here?

Q: Great News to holders that waited
Vistra Energy (VST-N) has agreed to increase its acquisition price for Crius Energy Trust (KWH.UN-T) to $8.80 per trust unit, an increase of $1.23 per trust unit from the parties’ prior agreement.
“Vistra and Crius Energy negotiated the amendment in response to the receipt by the Crius Energy Board of Directors of an unsolicited acquisition proposal from a third party bidder dated Feb. 14, 2019 that was higher than the purchase price previously agreed by Vistra and Crius Energy,” the company stated.

Q: A warning to Jim concerning moving his shares in the Brookfield Co to his USD account because of dividends paid in USD: I called Qtrade (my broker) to find out if the USD dividends paid by my Canadian companies (including BEP) were deposited directly in my USD account. They actually convert the dividends to CAD and then reconvert them to USD before depositing the cash in the account (I moved all these shares back to my CAD account). I would advise you to check with your broker if they charged conversion fees twice.

Q: Is not 2019 projections significantly better then 2018? A company want to be responsible they are penalized???

“As the timing of the full impact of these cost saving programs is difficult to determine, we believe it prudent to re-evaluate our guidance for 2019. Consequently, for 2019 we are now forecasting revenue of $385 to $400 million and adjusted EBITDA in a range of $55 to $60 million, excluding any contributions from potential future acquisitions.”

Q: I bought WCP at the end of December for "bounce" factor at $4, and still hold. It has come up significantly this week. Is there some fundamental reason for this? In other words, does it have the potential to stay over $5 longer term? I'm wondering whether to continue to hold long term or sell and take the short-term gain, as was my original intention.
