Q: Airboss (BOS) is taking a beating today. Is this simply normal volatility for a company of this size for news of not meeting forecasts/estimates?

Q: For someone who is looking to get some more small/mid exposure in their portfolio, how do you feel about a switch of CGX for BOS at these levels? Besides the portfolio reason stated, main rationale is that CGX looks a little pricey and BOS looks like a good value. Also want to stay in the Consumer Disc. space with this change to keep balanced.

Q: Hi Peter, I listened 2 hours conference call yesterday and went through the presentation and it seems like to me that their 2016 estimate is lowered because of some headwinds and also some because they want to be conservatives on their estimate. Did you feel the same from their call? Also I don't understand why could not they file 10-K before March 15? Cannot they ask their board committee to work extra hours for review? Or cannot they pay more to PWC to audit it faster? I don't understand the reason? With their lower earnings estimate it seems like they have 3 times 2016 earnings now? Do you think it is a contrarian buy now? What else can be other negative catalyst to take it more down from here? would you suggest to buy for 3 years hold?

Q: Hello, I am considering switching from BIN to NFI within a diversified portfolio, long term hold being the goal balancing dividend with growth. NFI has done very well, too pricey?? Any other suggestions? Thanks, Lavern

Q: Can you help describe for us how a sitting CEO, also be involved with buying that company? Doesn't the CEO have privileged information that most other shareholders don't and also isn't there a conflict of interest to float a potential offer as it can artificially manipulate the short term stock price? It's very confusing to me that he can do this without undue influence.

Q: Along with picking individual stocks. I wanted to started buying ETFs that would cover US and international markets. I was thinking VSP for the US (S&P500), VXC for international and VAB for a bit of exposure to canadian bonds.

What do you think of these choices? Are there better choices out there?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Just sell - NOW!! Don't wait another day! JUST SELL!!!
With 30B in debt; nearly 40B in questionable Goodwill & In-tangible Assets & no audited Financial Statements; - what else would you need. As well, apparently they are now in breach of their Walmart contract for non-compliance & of course, there is the US Justice Dept. investigation as well as the SEC probe. Sounds about right for an auction - if there will be any realizable assets.
