Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I noticed that Knight Therapeutics (GUD) is lending Synergy Strips Corp $6M. As part of this deal, Knight will receive 15% interest on the loan, and get a 10-year warrant to purchase 3.5 million shares of Synergy at $0.34 a share. Synergy shares are currently trading at $0.425

My potentially easy question is: what does Synergy get out of this besides the loan? Do they get any corporate knowledge from Knight? 15% interest and a 10 year warrant to buy shares at a (potentially significant) discount seems like a really bad deal for Synergy, and a fantastic deal for Knight. What am I missing here? Couldn't Synergy just go to a bank for a loan?

Q: In early Dec you advised waiting to see what the new year brought for this stock. Seven weeks later it is down over 4% today alone, barely above its 52-week low with an RSI is 12 on low volume. Is this a good entry point for 2+ year hold or would you suggest continuing to wait. I would only purchase 1/2 position or less to start and $6.45 is tempting.

Q: Peter, any idea what causes the sell-off? Is the company impacted negatively by low oil? It's very oversold now. Good time to buy? Thanks in advance.

Q: Many small tech stocks such as Prometics (PLI), Patient Home Monitoring (PHM), CRH Medical (CRH), etc. and large ones such as Concordia (CXR) and Constellation (CSU) have tripled, quadrupled and more! These stocks either keep going up or flatline for a period. It's hard to buy a stock that has increased 400-500% within the last 12-18 months.
I own small positions in the first three and want to add some positions. I don't mind risk if the rewards can be so great.
Can you rate PHM, PLI and CRH and suggest any new small tech ones that have such magnificent potential?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Guys looking for some ideas for my RRSP and TFSA contributions for the year. Obviously without knowing my other holdings this is a little more difficult exercise for you, looking for max growth, dividend not required and 20 years until retirement. Based on the discussion from 5i I'm considering CXI, DHX and/or QST. Any thoughts? Thank-you.
