Investment Q&A

Q: A fairly topical (and volatile) name these days... Your view on today's earnings please?

Q: I am a risky investor and was thinking to buy AVO last week but due to market volatility and specially volatility in AVO, I avoided it and today when I refreshed my monitor I saw a sudden jump by 30.67%. Do you think at the price of around $20 this is a good buy if I were to hold off this stock till next 6 months or a year?

Q: Hi everyone,

What if this is all a lie. I am talking about the recent Q3 earning report? What if there is really no smoking gun and just smoke? I never believed it when the CFO left so suddenly literally a day before Q2 release. And now I read in the G&M that he is alive and well working for another company since he left AVO. What is your take on this article and the accounting concerns pointed out by Veritas. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investment-ideas/avigilon-silences-the-doubters-or-at-least-most-of-them/article21465928/

Is this another case in which naive shareholders like me will have to learn the truth well after the share prices have completely collapsed? I look forward to your reassuring perspective. Thank you!

Q: Your thoughts on yesterday's earning release and short term outlook on the stock.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and company. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the SAND BAGGING most analysts took last/this week. The company lowered there numbers to analysts and in turn the stock had large short positions gaining and down grades. I bought some shares last week and Monday and sold this morning. Does this change your thoughts on managements communication with the public in whole? Have you set a new target price?

Thank you Jason

Q: The Q3 results of BEP.UN released this morning are below last year and also against its LTA, prompting a hit on the share price.

Can you comment on its Q3 results and also its prospect for Q4 and the full year as to whether this negative Q3 result is just a blip in the longer term of things?

Thanks.

Q: Avigilon reports Net INCOME ,EPS and EBITDA with both GAP and adjusted data. To study EPS. ROE or PEG which should a person use , adjusted or not adjusted?

Q: I'm long K-bro and concerned about it's valuation based on P/E and P/CF. Any opinion you can share on kbl's valuation and growth prospects?

Q: You Oct 31 Coverage Summary report still has a B rating for HNL.
You may want to change it to a C+

Madeline

Q: I noticed you did not sell Contrans in the model portfolio at end Oct. If I understand this correctly now that Transforce has 70% it will buy those shares pending regulatory approval but it would need something like 90% to force remaining shareholders to sell. With this as a possible outcome would you continue to hold Contras as a minority shareholders in a Transforce controlled company? If not, sell at discount now or tender?
Thanks

Q: Hi. Some education please. In an answer yesterday you said "EPS of $0.147 and actual EPS of $0.24 (adjusted and diluted)". What do you mean by adjusted and diluted? Does it have anything to do with the $100 million they raised by selling shares? Thanks.

Q: Looks like great results & focus on profit as well as revenue growth to $500m by end,2016.Had not heard the conference call. Your expert view please.Thanks a lot.

Q: I believe the 3rd quarter results are very good. Will this be the catalyst to light a fire under the share price?

Q: I am a holder of this Bank and the news today took me by surprise. Would this be the right time to sell or hang in there for the long term?

Q: The next quarterly report will come out tentatively November 13 or 14 according to the company.

Q: Home is reporting earnings tomorrow which I expect will be good, with the continuing strong real estate market. I wonder if events like earnings reports are good times to buy or to sell, particularly with financial stocks?

Q: Hi Team,

DHX is dropping again today. Is the stock for sell, hold or buy?
Thank you!

Cynthia

Q: Would you recommend holding or selling HNL if recently acquired? Could it be that the market is beating up the stock more than what is warranted and it should regain price to $3 and then a bit more?
In other words, is C+ a hold?

Q: Good morning,
Could you please comment on BEP.UN Q3 earnings report.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Is Black Diamond a name that could be overweight in a portfolio? I am considering doubling down/ averaging down my purchase price on this equity. It seems to me to be a little oversold. I will probably wait until their earnings tomorrow but I would appreciate your opinion regardless. I am very comfortable with the associated risks but of course prefer to keep my capital.
Thank you
Jeremy
