Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Like many long suffering investors, I am really getting fed up with this stock. I watched a recent interview on BNN with Jonathan Goodman and was not impressed. He had an opportunity to justify why GUD was a public company and completely failed to do so. His message seemed to be if you are not investing for your grandchildren's financial future you might as well forget this stock. I think GUD should at least initiate an initial and rising dividend policy since it has failed to invest much of the large pool of cash being reserved for acquisitions. What do you think of these odds. Thanks.

Q: Cormark Securities analyst David McFadgen dropped his target for Great Canadian Gaming Corp. (GC-T), calling its financial disclosures related to its Greater Toronto Area (GTA) “troubling developments.” With a “reduce” rating, his target dipped to $41 from $44. The average on the Street is $56.80.

What are the financial disclosures that McFadgen is referring to?

Q: I was surprised with a previous question “What would you recommend if Mr Goodman steps down? Hold? Sell?”
My impression is that he has no intention and there is no indication that he will “step down.” Am I missing something?
From what I have read it also appears that it is unlikely that Medison will succeed in forcing him to step down.
Attached a recent article in the globe. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-knight-therapeutics-ceo-addresses-dissident-shareholders-proxy-fight/
In your opinion do you agree that Goodman will stay in control and get shareholder’s support?
Thanks

Q: In respect to Paul's question, non-eligible dividends are not taxed the same as interest income. As an example, for 2019 the top Ontario tax rate on interest income is 53.53% whereas the top Ontario tax rate on non-eligible dividends is 47.40%. By comparison the top Ontario tax rate on eligible dividends is 39.34%. I'm not aware of why A&W pays out eligible versus non-eligible dividends. TaxTips.ca has a good site for those that want to review tax rates on dividends, interest, etc. at different levels of personal income.
