Q: In my travels I notice that some rail companies are going to a cement railroad tie. Is that something we should worry about for SJ? And why would wood or cement be better?

Thanks, Jean

Q: 9:19 AM 3/7/2016
Good Morning Peter
I have a large position in ALGOMA CENTRAL CORP CONV UNSEC SUBORD DEBS 03/31/18 6.00%. When these mature in 2018 am I guaranteed to get paid back in cash or is there any danger of being paid in shares at the conversion rate because if so and if the share price is away down in 2018 I would be better off selling the debentures now as they are trading at par.
Thank you.... Paul K

Q: I know this is outside your area of concentration, but I'd like an opinion on the Canadian dollar vs. the U.S. I put about 25%of my net worth in U.S. dollars in the high 90s. Recently I see an uptrend against the U.S. dollar and am considering repatriating that money. Do you agree with my reading of the situation and that it could be sustained for six months or more. Do you have a guess at where the Can. dollar would have to get to be "over-priced".

Q: It has mentioned several times that deposits at many Canadian financial institutions are insured through CIDC up to $100,000. I don't remember any mention that all deposits in any Manitoba credit union or caisse populaire are guaranteed, without limit by the Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba.There are several credit unions in Manitoba that offer online banking across provincial boundaries and higher interest rate than the banks. Implicity financial is one example that offers 1.75% interest on deposits and the unlimited guarantee.

Q: Concordia reports Q4('15) on March 23 and TD shows Non GAAP EPS of $1.46 (7 analyst average). Not sure if this is an upgrade from your Jan.27 estimate of $1.12 (GAAP?) or if currency conversion is in play because they report in US$ or it's Bloomberg numbers vs Broker's?

As Ryan mentions in the Oct. blog piece on CRX leverage is the issue to focus on so if they hit their 2016 numbers of ~$6.50 US how much of their $3.48 US BB debt would you expect them to pay down by end of 2016 FY and could this remove the "mini Valeant" tag if they were able to pay down a bunch? Thanks, J.

Q: My wife has a loss carry-forward in her non-registered account. I'm thinking that with only one place for the $5,500 investment this year it would be better to work on reducing the loss carry-forward than contributing to her TFSA. Once the loss carry-forward has been eliminated contribute to her TFSA.

Is my thinking correct?

Thanks
Ron
