Q: I bought XTC based on your report touting this name as the "perfect stock". I see it as a growth stock with a negligible dividend. So far its SP popped heading into the announcement of the last two quarterly results and so far have slide back thereafter. It just does not seem to have any traction to hold onto those the gains, or advances based on the growth reported.

Has XTC hit the "proverbial wall" that all stocks do? Even Disney and Apple hit that wall eventually. I'm sitting on a small gain with XTC now, other than advising patience, would you recommend that I should sell before the next run up to Q3 earnings, say when its SP hits $18+? After all a growth stock that stops growing is dead money and I should really move on.

Your take on my view is much appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Airboss has a beta of 0.17, but after a 4% drop Friday it dropped almost 5% today before pulling back somewhat. Isn't this a bit atypical for a low beta stock, and can you think of any reasons behind this behaviour? I know the market is down, though it wasn't Friday, but most lower beta stocks are holding up better.

Q: The Q2 results seem very good, but I saw they used half of the net earning for "stock compensation", so the earnings/shear become 0.11 instead of 0.24. What does it mean ? It is normal practice? Thank you

Q: I wonder what you think the chances are of CXI following in Home Capital Groups's (HCG) footsteps and buying a small Schedule 1 Bank, as adverse (or to speed-up) to waiting for their own application approval process? If they do, do you know of any that could qualify (or that they could afford)?

Thanks in advance,
Scot

Q: Are Oaken Banks operations isolated from Home Trusts, or could there be any liability to them, should Home Trust have some fin'l issues re their mortgages?
Oaken looks to be offering the interest rates, of the former ING Bank, before it was sold to BNS. I would switch to them, if their are no issues for my GICs,savings acct.

Q: The market has downgraded BPF substantially - by about 13% - since March, compared to others such as AW.UN, QSR and KEG.UN. That's two years' worth of dividends. The yield on BPF.UN is now up to 6.6%, which looks excellent, but the downward trend relative to other restaurants looks worrisome. What's happening with BPF.UN? Is it time to get out of the stock or time to enjoy the higher yield and wait for a rebound?

Q: Was reading the TD report on PKI today. They were saying it was going nowhere till oil moves up but speculated on its ability to pick up assets on the cheap and that being some sort of outlier catalyst. I am happy PKI for oilpatch exposure but what does it's balance sheet look like to you for it being able to pick up cheap assets in the meanwhile?

Q: In their recent news release they have this paragraph:
The acquisition and subsequent integration of a Schedule I bank and Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) member into Home Trust helps the Company further develop its deposit diversification initiatives much sooner than would have been expected if the Company continued to pursue its previously announced plans to apply for a separate Schedule I bank license, as described in a November 10, 2014 Home Capital press release.
Does this mean they will no longer seek to apply for Schedule 1 Bank status?
Many thanks
Mike
