Investment Q&A

Q: Distributable cash dropped 36 cents a share which seems quite large. Is there any reason for this?
Thanks
Mike

Q: I've held this company since 2012. Fortunately, I have taken profits several times over the 8 years. With the decline I am undecided on adding to this position or liquidating. Only a 1% position. Based on the fact sheet on their website trailing earnings are sitting at 17.4x PE. Can you please tell me what you have for forward earnings estimates? thanks.

Q: Has the rationale for the Dutch auction fallen apart now that the shares are currently trading well under the lower limit ($39/share) of the auction. And the shares likely have further to fall given the social distancing effect of Covid-19 on their business. And if the auction was cancelled the shares may trade even lower on the news.

At this point why not cancel the auction, and instead, aggressively buy back as many shares as possible in the market? Maybe GC wont be able to purchase the same number of shares as with the auction but they will get them at a cheaper price. If they still are overcapitalized after the share repurchase they could always start to issue dividends. Nothin' wrong with that!!

Cancelling the auction makes the most sense to me. If they cancel we will have a GREAT opportunity to buy Great Gaming.

Q: Hello
I hold both stocks and liked them so far. I am considering back some more stocks with both stocks currently down with this market volatility.
With the corona virus fear and probably a recession, how do you see both companies outlook based on their overall earnings and management.
Do you still consider PKI as a good growth stock?
Do you suggest waiting for more downturn before buying them ?
Thank you

Q: With the carnage going on in oil. IF, one still to partake in the gamble, is Enbridge a better gamble being a midstream company vs a producer. It looks decent for an entry I think

Q: The TD report on TOY earnings says:
Q4/19 Results: A Self-inflicted Trip to the Penalty Box
(owing to an ill-advised transition to a new DC during its peak selling season).
TD is famous for using acronyms in their reports. DC?
Confusing. Can you explain what transition they are talking about?
Thanks

Q: Lightspeed just closed a $175M financing a couple of days before the meltdown. Great timing for them and their large shareholders who also sold some stock.
Would you buy this stock now at $30? It's up from $18, the 52 week low but more than one-third down from their $49 high. What do you think?

Q: Has the Brazilian currency gone up or down much since Knight made the purchase of Biotoscan and do see it as an influencing factor overall or is the currency relatively stable?
Thanks.

Q: I would like to start a small position in GC, in a corp account that is not looking for a dividend (5+ year time horizon). In your opinion, is GC a good longterm hold and is now a good time to buy? Can you please give me some insight into why they are buying back shares - is there a chance they wish to delist and become a private company? As always, thank you for your comments.

Q: I am a recently retired investor who has held SYZ for a while; ridden it up and appear to now be riding it down. I see that insiders seem to be starting to buy again. At what price do you think it becomes a compelling opportunity? (I do love my dividends!)

Thanks for your help

Q: In Jaime’s question he references GUD price to book, one has to realize that the acquisition was done at a premium to market, and likely several multiples above book.

Q: ENGH's Q1 seemed to be solid, especially the adjusted EBITDA amount and margin. Did you see anything to worry about?

Q: Could you please comment on the Q4 results reported today. The stock is down 21% from its high on Jan. 5/20 versus a 3% loss for the TSX over the same period. I know it is problematic with todays volatility and uncertainty but could you venture an opinion as to how you think this stock will do over the next 6 to 12 months versus the market in general. Thank you, Ian

Q: comments please on the quarter

Q: Greetings,

Your thoughts, re, latest earnings, please.

Q: Is Tricon's dividend an "eligible dividend" (i.e. subject to the reduced dividend tax rate) for Canadian investors?
Thanks!

Q: I bought this stock in January at around $40 and now stock sold off big to under $20 so down 50 per cent. Wondering what to do with this position. Do you think over a longer time period it will recover somewhat or cut losses here

Q: Would you add to 1/2 position of BYD and/or ATD.B to bring them to a full position? Would you add to just one or would you add to both, if so, would you wait or just buy now?
Thanks for your service

Q: I have held SIS for about 2 years now and down 28% - I am looking at selling SIS and replacing it with FSZ - has a nice 7.50% dividend growing at about 5% a year. Can I have your opinion on SIS and whether it's worth holding, hoping that it recovers and can I have your opinion on FSZ as a replacement. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: GC is a very big disappointment since purchase @ $55.96 some time ago($57 is 1 yr H) with problems like money laundry in B.C. & muted outlook despite some good Qs like today's.Today Canaccord upgraded to $59 from $58 with a Buy after It beat
estimated Rev & Eps. Estimated that casino Pickering will completed by end of Q1 & hotel & entertainment venue by Dec31 It hurts while waiting with no dividend despite buy back by GC with no meaningful appreciation in price.Is there a better stock to replace it,if desired.Txs for u usual great services & views
