Q: I bought half a position today @ $1.84 for the following reason. They have a lot of cash, patents, experience and are divesting what experience tells them to drop. If WIN were a private company with an IPO today, I suspect it would trade north of $5.00. What do you think? (before I buy the other half!) Thanks for the ongoing support.

Q: Sorry another question on wilan. Skippen says that the dividend will be cut but does not exclude possibility of special dividends.
Would his strategy be to drive the share price down so the company can buy more shares at a cheap price and then collect a special dividend on more shares they would own. Is that a strategy that companies have used in the past? Is it a possibility they would do that or even ethical?

Q: Hi 5i My local lumber yard suggested I put my lumber order in as soon as possible as they are expecting an increase in pricing. They have been told from a supplier that demand from the U.S. is increasing and price increases will follow. My question is ADN has been going down the last few weeks but ADN has just increased its dividend, as boots on the ground would you take this as an opportunity to buy into ADN. Thx Gerry

Q: Thoughts on their earnings released just this hour. Missed on earnings and stock already hammered.

Any red flags regarding the sustainability of the company? Even if you lop off 20% of estimated 2015 earnings the stock is trading at 11x. How cheap have you seen these type of businesses get?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Q: HLF has fallen hard. Have your views changed with respect to this company?
Read Answer Asked by Imtiaz on November 04, 2015
Q: Hello Peter and team, Seems HLF keeps reporting bad numbers mainly due to the strength of US$. So does this mean this company has no hope until the CDN$ strengthens? Isn't there something they can do about this? Anuhow your comments please and is it worth holding?

Q: Hi,

Can you comment on the work involved in institutional analysis and also expand on your comment about the short position holder reactions to the earnings release at avo. I would have expected at least flat pricing after the Quarterly, but see it down now 14%, are short traders driving this? Also, rbc and cibc both changed their targets on the stock within 12 hrs of the earnings release, it seems quick for thorough review. Finally, was there anything on the conference call hosted by the CEO that you found interesting?

Thanks,

Eric

Q: For 2015 AVO have predicted a 2015 adjusted diluted EPS of 0.79. This is less than the 2014 adjusted diluted EPS of 0.80.This is a 1% decline from last year
They have not predicted the IFRS diluted EPS figure. Assuming a stock price of 10$CDN this gives a P/E of 12.7 and a PEG ratio of Minus 12.7.

It seems many investors consider a positive PEG ration of 1 or less is a good buy.

What am I missing. Is the PEG ratio not reliable.

Read Answer Asked by Allan on November 04, 2015
Q: We are now doing our own trolling for answers. The Investment Reporter downgraded Wi-Lan to a hold in May 2015 because:

1) Its shares had plunged by over a fifth.
2) They estimated WIN would earn 3 cents per share this year
3) It trades at an excessive p/e ratio of 91 times
4) The dividend looks too high
5) Thinks the market expects the firm to cut its dividend
6) Cash of over US $118 million – debt US $43.3 (good)

Seems they got it about right, however last month they had WIN as a buy “for long-term gains and rising dividends”!

Nobody is perfect. What percentage do the directors own?

Thanks
