Q: In reference to your answer to Bruce about Shaw Communications. You indicated that it is owned largely by Rogers Communications. I thought it was owned by the SHAW family, thus the dual class share structure. Are you saying that Rogers is a major shareholder and what percentage do they hold? Can you clarify this please?
Q: What are your thoughts on this company? Do you expect the price to increase?
Q: I am trying to reduce the number of the different stocks I own. I'm considering selling home capital group HCG, and replace it with either currency exchange CXI or Sun Life financial SLF, both of which are still underweight in my portfolios. Do you think it would be a reasonable a trade? It would leave my financial weighting intact.

Q: I am looking to add a solid, long term real estate investment to my portfolio. I am trying to decide between RioCan and Brookfield Office. They both seem well managed, large and well-financed. The main differences I see between the two is that one (BOX) is the office space while the other is more retail oriented and secondly, BOX has international holdings (mainly US?) while REI is said to be exiting the US market.
What are your views on these two companies or is there another option I should be considering (I know yo like Chartwell)? I am more interested in total overall return, whether it be from dividends, growth or both.
Thanks for insight.

Q: Good day, I am not risk adverse and sometimes that can get me in trouble. This stock looks like it is overblown to the downside. I know you would never recommend it but if my Healthcare allocation is ~5%. Would now be a good time to load up, maybe beyond a full position in this stock, or is that too dangerous with it falling like it is? I am thinking just above 5% of my portfolio?
Q: Regarding Maida's post on CINVEN buying 7.2M shares today. Is that news accurate. I've been trying to find any news on internet (incl. their webpage) to no avail. Someone at stockhouse.com says news came from Reuters (couldn't find anything). Have you guys verified this? If so, maybe you can provide the link.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Q: I am a retiree with substantial cash set aside for things like a new car, appliances on their last legs, some renovations, and a trip. My questions is: do I include this cash as part of my portfolio when determining asset allocation %, both in equity vs fixed income and, more importantly, when calculating what % of my portfolio is in individual stocks and what % is in any given sector? Obviously, %s change dramatically if I only count the $ actually invested! Thanks again for your steady hand.
Q: With the broad-based sell-off of healthcare stocks, do you have any sense which other sectors may benefit to the extent that institutional sellers are re-investing their sale proceeds?
Q: I am not a holder of Valeant Pharma, but I do have a small position in Concordia. While one could argue that Valeant had appreciated quite spectacularly after its failed bid for Allergan and was perhaps due for a pullback that recent market behavior seems irrational! It seems that retail investors don't really have a chance in today's markets with HFT and powerful short sellers. Many retail investors will get scared out of these stocks and others when huge declines occur even if they bounce back in 3 weeks or 3 months as evidenced by what happened on that Monday in August. Is there something the market watchers can do to restore some semblance of fair play in the stocks markets?
Q: Hi,
Why is it that when these stocks drop, CXR, the one not being targeted by subpoena, seems to drop twice as much as VRX? For example, last Monday CXR dropped 20 % whereas VRX dropped ten?
Today, when news came out of allegations of VRX's, CXR dropped just as badly? From its peak, VRX, has dropped about 56%, whereas CXR has dropped 82%!! I can see why people are selling VRX but why is CXR being punished worse?

Q: A follow-up to the discussion on the ACB of stocks held in multiple accounts: the real complication, here, is if some of your funds are managed professionally. It's by no means unusual that, acting independently and at arm's-length, both you and the money manager have taken positions in the same security. However, your money manager's end-of-year documents will pretend that only they own shares. Conversely, for you to integrate their cost-of-shares into your own end-of-year documents has the potential to get obscenely complicated, and (since the money manager doesn't reciprocate) pointless, to boot. I've never heard of the CRA complaining about reporting ACB separately for separately-managed accounts. After all, it would only create make pointless (i.e., unremunerative) work for them, too.
