Q: Could I get your thoughts/interpretation on latest news release from SYZ.
"Sylogist was not, at this time, selected for a master service agreement with the state of North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. To date, two larger organizations have been awarded agreements to compete in the North Carolina market once they pass a number of hurdles, including state compliance. The Department of Public instruction has, however, agreed to fund customer upgrades for the modern K12 certified solution. Given the lengthy process ahead for the new entrants' certification, testing and piloting of new system offerings, the timeline for selection and early implementation of replacement systems has been extended by 4 years or more from the original plan. The current plan leaves Sylogist with a much longer runway of continued support for its legacy system and funding for upgrades to its modern K12 system. The Company has adjusted the forward operating parameters in the business to address the current situation and these changes result in projected increased profitability over an extended period of time. On a financial basis the Company is very pleased with the developments in this market to date."

Q: Does today's acquisition make New Flyer itself a more attractive takeout candidate? Thanks.

Q: I have held Park Lawn for a while and it has been a decent performer. However, I note that over the last month it has been very strong, almost, relatively, parabolic and without a “down” day for some while. Ie. from around $25.50 on May 1 to over $29 today. Do you have any information on why this security may be acting so?
Q: would you initiate a position in Magna today?
Q: Would it be a good time to add GC to my TFSA? How is its debt level?
Q: Can you comment on the latest earnings for COV.
Thank You, Peter
Thank You, Peter
Q: hi folks:
as a followup to my earlier query on savaria's accounting i would like your further comment
sis employed hedges when it had ZERO debt , claiming it wanted to smooth out earnings variation caused by currency --- in those years this hedging cut profit in half
today they have debt which, along with the hedges, is impairing profit --- revenue is up 55% while operating income rose half that amount and EBITDA, (which is a phoney figure) is even less.
their accounting is unnecessarily complicated which always concerns me
if you look at a big company, like Teck or LNR, the reporting is 'fairly' straight forward
in my opinion these SIS guys try too hard to look better than they are - and are potentially just awaiting the next acquisition to get back to growth
comments?

Q: Has Great Canadian Gaming bought back shares since Q1 (last quarter)? Has there been any insider buying/selling?
Q: Have SIS closes the $14.55 financing?Thought it closed last week,but see no news.Please update.Thanks for u usual great services & views
Q: What is your assessment of SYZ? Last earnings were a little light. What does your crystal ball see for the company? It's backed off 10% or so and now has been stuck in a range for a long time.
Q: Hi Peter
every quarter they highlight growing sales and EBITDA, but it never translates to the bottom line
profit is flat
what is wrong with the company, that growth never comes out the bottom line?
also with 59% of revenue from the USA, why does it need to have currency hedges to protect itself from rising material costs priced in US dollars? --that should be a natural hedge
most quarters (except last one) those hedges are a drag on profits
and now they hedge interest rates too !!
thx in advance
