Investment Q&A

Q: As a follow up to the discussion on Contrans. What happens to those of us who have not tendered our shares, if Transforce succeeds?

Q: Since the tumble from $18 for AVO volume has been 2X average except for Monday when it was 4X. It certainly seems someone knows something negative here, or thinks they do, and sellers are gaining the strong hand. Could you provide a current short position on the stock, and do you have any comment on the Point and Figure chart target of $9? Thanks, J.

Q: Is there any limit on the number of extensions that Transforce can request? This offer was made on Aug. 14,2014. This could take some time. Thank-you

Q: AVO continues to tank today. Should I hang in there? It is sure painful watching this thing slide.

Q: Any current information on the cause of the price decrease? Catalyst or negative news?

Q: what is your current assessment of this co.

Q: How do you view Trimac's potential growth from here? And valuation? Thanks.

Q: What do you think about Contrans Group at the moment? Did Transforce successfully buy them out?
Thank you.

Q: It's down again today(8%) on heavy volume and the towel is ready to throw itself in. Is there any significant insider selling on this stock?
Thanks

Q: hi , would you have a opinion on this company. thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team, leading gold mining companies like G, ABX, YRI, K are all trading at multi year low levels. P/B ratios for YRI and K are well below 1. Aren't these companies are deeply undervalued? If so is it ok to have a slight bias towards gold mining sector to seize an opportunity for the next 6 - 12 months.

Q: I enjoy the weekly 5 from 5i. Thank you for that value added information.

This week the article on the solar industry piqued my curiosity. Are there any US or Canadian stocks that you can recommend for an investor wanting to test the waters in this industry, and preferably not get burned?

As usual, thank you for your help.

Q: I have been waiting for some strength in ACQ to start a position. I have never owned it . I guess the renewed strength has to do with Buffett entering positions in dealerships. So would you buy it now if you did not own it? Thanks.

Q: Greetings from BC: I read the following in a gaming article, but I did not see any of this news coming from the company. Does that mean that it is not "material"? The article said it was the reason behind Amaya's recent drop in share price. The whole gray-market issue is not something I've heard much about, but I guess Canada is also a gray market. Perhaps they are doing this to clean up Poker Stars and Full-Tilt in order to prepare to face US regulators?

Amaya Gaming withdraws from 'gray areas'
Since the acquisition of their parent company Oldford Group Limited by the Amaya Gaming Group, PokerStars and Full Tilt have already undergone several significant changes. These included, amongst others, the launch of the new PokerStars 7 client and an opening to the casino world with the inclusion of roulette and blackjack games to PokerStars.es.

Amaya CEO David Baazov says the company intends to use both PokerStars and Full Tilt to enter new verticals like casino and the sports betting, but the group does not seem keen to keep working in "gray markets" where online games are not expressly prohibited or strictly regulated.

What do you think?

Q: syz was halted . no info on company website. what did they do?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I am wondering whether to cut losses on BDI, it seems in a freefall for the past 6 months. The stock is down over 30% from its high point in May and continues its decline today despite overall market direction. Yesterday, I received notification from BMO that 5 brokerages either downgraded or cut prices on BDI... I know you were positive on BDI in the past, what are your current thoughts on this stock. Are fundamentals still solid? Do you anticipate it to recover from current lows within one year timeframe? Thanks.

Q: AVO recently released a series of information on its products.But the stock continues to drop sharply,some 5% today.Pat Horan recommended it as one of his top picks on Sep 29 on Market Call Tonight.Its CEO has to realize that growth & product enhancement have to be accompanied by corresponding growth in profit.Todate I have lost $9 since purchase prior to release of last Q results.Your advice on whether I should sell now Thanks a lot

Q: HI,THIS STOCK WAS HALTED THIS MORNING AND NO NEWS,ANY IDEAS?
THANK YOU
Daniel

Q: Sorry it is BMO suggesting I sell

Q: I am down 34% with AVO, but I still like the growth story. I would like to buy more to bring the holding back to a full position now that the price is under $18. Would you add to my holding at this point or would you wait until after tax loss selling?
