Q: Why is Photon being crushed for past 2 days, with large volume ? Is it the guidance for the 2nd half or some other issues ? We thought, after the China deal, it was Blue Skies !!. Thanks
Q: My ECI shares are held in an RRSP and thus there are no tax issues to worry about. I am content to sit back and collect the 3.45% dividend until the deal closes in several months. So if I do nothing (IE not tender to the offer) am I correct that my shares will be
bought by BIP for cash ($29.00) upon closing?

Q: More of a comment than a question, but I would appreciate your view. The knock on the old MDA was that revenues were "lumpy" and margins low. Looking at the most recent financials, that still seems to be the case for the satellite business, which generates EBITDA margin of only12% if I read things correctly. Conversely, the newly-acquired Digital Globe imaging business has an EBITDA margin over 60% and happily this is the part of the business that is forecast to grow. This can make up for the weakness of the legacy business, which I presume they will not get rid of because of a desire to offer integrated "space" services. But it stuns me that the satellite business runs on what must be a less than break-even basis. I have a now slighly underwater half position and plan to stick with it.
Q: I don't understand why PHO report good earnings but share price down but other companies report good earnings their share price up a lot, could you please explain why, thanks always.
Q: Knight seems to be anxious to acquire the rights to ThetapeuticMD's new products as they have agreed to many success payments plus a $20M investment. Is this an exciting deal?
Q: I hold 2000 shares of ECI with a significant unrealized capital gain in a taxable account. I read in an RBC report that the offering of exchangeable shares "intent would be to provide a taxfree rollover" . Could you provide some explanation of how this would work. Thanks.
Thanks for some great picks SIS, TOY, WSP,KXS, MX to name a few.
Unfortunately I bought MAXR ($61) just before it was removed from BE port. It is about 1% of our total. Would you recommend buying more and move on to one of the BE names we don't own yet (CSU,CLS,PBH,BYD,SJ).
Q: I'd like to echo Adam. I owned ECI prior to today and was thinking of adding to the position. After a BNN guest panned it on Monday I was instead thinking I should perhaps cut and sell. After your quick reassurance yesterday I added to the position. This is the value of this site; letting people who are not experts in business finance and don't have the time to monitor the finances of every company they invest in ask a simple question of those who are and do.
Q: With the recent sale off. Am considering adding to SHOP(3 %) or initiating a position on CSU. Your advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. Fooklin
