Q: Hi Peter and Team, Ken asked about GIC's for a not-for-profit. He may be able to get a higher rate using a simple savings account at Tangerine Bank since they have some "specials" that expire at the end of the year. Different clients receive different rates; my wife is getting 3%, and I'm getting 2.5%. I've also found that they'll "match" an offer from a competitor if you call them. These rates may be higher than GICs.

Q: Badger at $29 is expected to report Nov.15 with revenue projected at $109 MM vs
$111 for Q3 last year and EPS of 0.36 vs 0.49. Do you agree with these numbers and have you changed the opinion in your report last June that it was trading at a premium valuation when it was $7 less? This stock appears to have very good momentum and I'm very glad to have held it for the last 4+ years. Thanks, J.

If you don't think this would outperform then it will be the BE portfolio.

Q: Can you please provide your updated opinions on WEF vs. WFT? Of the two, which one do you like better, and would you buy one of these? My only position in the materials in Stella Jones (about a 7% full position), so would like your thoughts on this. Thank you for a great service!

Q: I am somewhat concerned about the negative momentum for the last couple of months. I understand there are concerns about food cost deflation and perhaps the ongoing price competition investigation. I also know that you like Loblaw because of the Shoppers earnings growth potential. Should I continue to hold or should I sell. I purchased at $72.00 today down to $66.00. Is there more downside to the stock going forward or do you see this as just a temporary set back and perhaps cycle rotation? Besides Loblaw, I own Premium Brands in the same sector and have done very well with it.

Thanks for your help.
