Q: While FB was plummeting I sold my shares and locked in some gains. I used the money to buy shares in Constellation Software. I believe CSU will recover faster and keep growing. I feel that with the news of a slower growing user base and users being on FB for less time, it will take the market a long time to regain it's confidence in the company. Do you agree. Or should I just get back in at this lower price?
Q: My ECI shares are held in an RRSP and thus there are no tax issues to worry about. I am content to sit back and collect the 3.45% dividend until the deal closes in several months. So if I do nothing (IE not tender to the offer) am I correct that my shares will be
bought by BIP for cash ($29.00) upon closing?

Q: More of a comment than a question, but I would appreciate your view. The knock on the old MDA was that revenues were "lumpy" and margins low. Looking at the most recent financials, that still seems to be the case for the satellite business, which generates EBITDA margin of only12% if I read things correctly. Conversely, the newly-acquired Digital Globe imaging business has an EBITDA margin over 60% and happily this is the part of the business that is forecast to grow. This can make up for the weakness of the legacy business, which I presume they will not get rid of because of a desire to offer integrated "space" services. But it stuns me that the satellite business runs on what must be a less than break-even basis. I have a now slighly underwater half position and plan to stick with it.
Q: There have been a number of news releases on marketing partnerships and potential sales lately? Is there something hers or is this a replay of past? comments?
