Q: Hello Peter and Staff
I know you like this company . What I am trying to understand is their risk versus others like IGM or CI where there seems to be concern over the upcoming disclosure rule changes . Is FSZ not also exposed and if less so why?
Thanks for all you do
Dennis
Q: I had planned to sell some or all of my shares of WB, when suddenly, this offer with MTN happened. I have a nice capital gain (222.99%) since buying the shares in 2011. Also nice is the share price increase as a result of the deal announcement. However, the dividend has been flat/no increases since 2011. Questions: Is is in my best interest to wait till the deal goes through and then sell? What happens if I sell now to take advantage of the pop in the WB price?
Q: Just an FYI for David. I first bought SYZ in early 2006 At $2.40. I have owned it ever since. I have never had an issue adding to the stock on dips nor an issue selling when I needed to take some off the table.Including the dividends it is probably the best ( most Consistent) ATM I have owned. If 5i likes it chances are strong that it is a winner Thanx Robbie
Q: i want to buy syllgist, you keep recommending it, but it is not liquid.
if something goes wrong you cannot get out and you will take a huge loss, and this has happened to me before so could you comment.
i own lots of shopify and kinaxis but there liquid so i am much less concerned. dave
Q: Hi, Could you please comment on PBH earnings ? They did mention of slowdown in Alberta and Saskatchewan and an issue with major product launch, any future impact, in your view? They also seem to reaffirm a strong full 2016 year ! Thanks
Q: Please comment on the current valuation of the company? At this time would you change any of the grades for the key metrics from the June 2015 Report Card?
Q: I asked a question on PM soon after the takeover bid concerning the possibility of an increase in the share price before closure of the deal. Thanks to your answer, I held on and, lo and behold, the price has increased some 10% in the last few days. As before, I has difficulty in getting news (all I got so far is a circular about the meeting to vote for the deal). Is the price increase due to a dividend? Thanks as ever. henry
Q: I have $20,000 to invest in a good, steady dividend paying reit with some chance of growth. Other reits we own are MST.UN and AAR.UN. Recommendations, please! - Ted
Q: I patiently hold AVO (at an approx 20% loss) and see that it is still maintained within the growth portfolio. You've mentioned previously that it is a frustrating name. What would it take to lose your interest? Is there any sign(s) that it will begin to behave better or should I be prepared for a long, patient wait with this name? I like the space that it is in and can't see why it doesn't perform better.
Q: Any thoughts on McCoy? Liked this company before the oil meltdown but they are really suffering these days. Still with negative EBITDA and their press release says they need an upswing in activity to go positive. I'm holding a few shares. Wondering whether to dump them and move on or ride through this cycle.
Q: What are your top recommendations for Canadian power producers. I am selling Northland Power (NPI) based on my advisor's recommendation and would like to re-invest in the same sector.
Q: A year ago, Knight signed a deal to distribute 3 of Advaxis's products in Canada and bought about 400,000 shares at $13.91, a premium at the time from the Advaxis treasury. The shares tanked to $5, recovered to $8 and have jumped %6 to $14 in the past 3 days on the announcement that Amgen bought worldwide rights to another Advaxis drug and gave them $40 Million. This will help Knight as the shares appreciate but will it hurt their deal on the other 3 drugs they represent as Advaxis may concentrate on the behemoth deal with a super-large pharma co. and neglect their other products.
Knight's share price has help up well during the healthcare decline. Do you think they will one day do a big deal or continue to drip out their $600M in miniscule does? I am sure this company will be a blockbuster some day, but I may not live long enough to see it!
Thanks.
