Investment Q&A

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

Q: DHX Media. I have $4,200 invested into DHX'B from almost 2 yrs ago, in my TFSA accnt. I am 50% down at the moment. Your advice: should I hang on in hope, or sell - throwing $2,100 away but allowing the other $2,100 to be put into something else with hope it will do better? A double would be necessary just to offset the loss. Realistically that could take a couple of years to achieve, might not get there, might not be much of a winner at all. Meantime where will DHX.B likely be in 2 years? Not sure when it reports but if a sell then before or after reporting? Its current value represents 5% of my TFSA accnt.

Q: Hi 5i
With the decline in Kinaxis share price going into earnings tomorrow, would a new purchase at $65 level be a move you would make or would you waiting until release be more appropriate.

By the looks of the volume type, it is us small investors who are dumping the stock share by share.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Q: How serious could Norfolk Southern's lawsuit against Boatright Railroad Products be for SJ? Globe's Report on Business this morning says Boatright sold 5 mn defective ties to Norfolk between 2009 and 2014 - all installed, some on bridges. I believe SJ bought Boatright in June 2014. Are buyers, in this case SJ, protected by the terms of acquisition agreements from negligence and fraud that occurred prior to acquisitions? What about damage to SJ's reputation? I hope SJ not only comes out blameless on this, but takes strong steps to "underline" their commitment to quality.
Thank you.

Q: The shares continue to drift down with a yield approaching 10%, usually something that I have, in the past, viewed with some concern. I wanted to see how previous earnings were trending and to my surprise there are, at least in my sources, no earnings posted for year end 2016, nor for the first and second quarters of this year. They were scheduled for reporting in March, May, and August. What is happening? Why no results? And is this connected with what is happening with the shares?

Q: CPX took a hit following their last quarter, but they did raise their dividend and still have around a 50% payout (correct?). With the lower price, I am considering buying some, mainly for the dividend as opposed to capital gains (I'm retired and always looking for income). Some questions:
- has their coal-plant issue been satisfactorily resolved
- is their debt level in line with other power producers
- what do you think of their movement towards renewables
- do you consider the dividend sustainable (yeah, I know . . . )
- how successful have they been in meeting estimates
- would you buy today for income (I already hold AQN and NPI)

Thank-you

Q: Hi team,

TOY dropped by more than 7% on Friday, apparently in sympathy with Mattel. Do we know what % of TOY's sales will be affected without ToyRUs? Do we know how much ToyRUs owes TOY,(Actual number or as % of receivables)? Without ToyRUs, what other outlets TOY could use (brick&mortar or online)to sell its product? Are any of these outlets already sell TOY's product? How fast can TOY adjust/respond to these changes? How much Christmas sales are expected to be affected because of this disruption in the company's sale of its product?

Thank you for being the go-to-person for small investors!
