Q: What are your thoughts on these? With more pipelines likely going through under Trump, pipeline service/camp companies will likely have a great upside. Is here something similar that you would recommend instead? Which of these do you prefer since I think they're fairly similar (correct?)

Thanks!

Q: Hi,I have Wcp that I will keep,but I also have Tog that I consider ok, for a 2.5 sector weight. For a +three year time frame,and a 2.5% + dividend would you have a better stock to switch to? Or just keep Tog. I consider management and lower debt a key factor.
Also I will be slowly adding to each as cash comes available.
Thanks,Brad

Q: Does Mattel's financial results release offer any insight into Spin Master Toys? Mattel says they were impacted by a significant US toy category slowdown. How would one know if these poor results were specific to a company or an industry? Spin Master is a long term hold regardless as I have confidence with their strategy, especially using evergreen entertainment properties as a setup to sell children toys and branded products. I don't think Mattel has developed this strength.
