Q: Hello, in my last question you recommended CLS as an addition to the technology part of my portfolio. Could you explain the reason? From what I see, it's share price is at the same point than 2 years ago, no momentum, no dividends. Are there some interesting developpement in the business? What rating would you give it? Thanks.

Q: From BMO Capital Markets, regarding the cost of borrowing (rising interest rates) and the new US tax bill. "Starting in 2018, companies can only deduct interest expense of up to 30% of its EBITBA. Any amount beyond this, will no longer be deductible. This will tighten further in 2022."
I read this quote, and noted that while you do not cover US Markets, this tax increase on companies in the States, may largely affect some of your members' portfolios. I really don't have a question about it, but thank you again for your guidance in regards to searching for value stocks. Susan

Q: in Dec. I added both ZBK and Bank of America to my portfolio...
with the correction, I am thinking of selling ZBK and adding JP Morgan instead...
the concentration will hopefully provide a greater return ( at less cost )!
appreciate your comments on this strategy ( and if you prefer an alternative U.S. financial instead )

Q: Having sold Pure Industrial, I am looking at replacing it with industrial or perhaps office. (I already have enough retail and apartment exposure.) I have looked at Dream Industrial but am concerned with its small market cap. Also, the 25% ownership by Dream Office seems unusual and I wonder whether it is a red flag.
What are your top recommendations in the office and industrial segments?
In particular, what do you think of Granite REIT? Do you think that the outcome of the dissident shareholder dispute is positive?

Q: Your report on this company highlighted U.S. softwood lumber duties as a major risk. But I believe that the Dept of Commerce exempted lumber from this company's territory. Does this change the rating for ADN ?
Does the increase in U.S. employment mean that there will be more demand for lumber for housing and therefore more business for ADN ?

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
I am thinking of increasing my weight to 6 percent each for Enbridge and TransCanada to take advantage of the weakness in stock declines during this week. Overall, i am down on both names but expect to keep them for 3 to 5 years as the dividends are great. My covalon technologies position has gone up alot and am thinking of selling half. Lastly, Alimentation couche tard does not seem to be getting too much attention on the positive side as the stock is simply building a base in the low 60s. I would appreciate your opinion on the four stocks please. Thanks very much.

I'm considering selling AVO now to free up some cash to buy a few beaten down names. My question is...if the offer for AVO was increased would it likely to be 5-10% or maybe more?
I know this is pure speculation but I am interested in your opinion.
Thank you
Dave

Q: Just doing some more work on ZWE...confused on some beta #s. Globefund has the beta = 2.07. Fundata has a 3 year beta of 0.53. 5iR has it at 0.91. Can you please provide some insight...is it simply different timeframes? I am trying to derisk my portfolio (reduce beta), while at the same time increase dividend income...adding to ZWE seems logical, but the beta numbers are confusing. Thanks...Steve
