Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter & 5i:
Would you be able to explain what the secondary bought deal offering means when the announcement says:
"The Fund will not receive any proceeds from the Offering. Food Services will distribute the net proceeds of the Offering to its long standing shareholders."
Food Services are selling their shares and then going to issue a "special one-time distribution" from the proceeds?
Thanks so much.

Q: I had been waiting for Stantec's quarterly numbers to see if they had finally turned things around. It turns out they were released last week and given there was little fanfare and that the stock price did not pop, I assume the results were nothing special. Given the solid numbers WSP just announced, is it time to throw in the towel on STN and move over to WSP or do you see upward movement for STN?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I'm considering cutting a loser to invest in something new that has some growth. SIS, PBH, and TOY have been poor performers for me for a while now and have been dragging down my returns. If I thought the issues were temporary for all 3 of them I would hold and wait it out but I've found each of them has been less than impressive. SIS with the equity raises and mgmt that I'm losing faith in, PBH with a million excuses as to why each quarter has negative surprises (weather, swine flu, minimum wage,etc), and TOY with disappointing numbers that seem to be getting worse with no real catalyst to get back to growth (Toysrus overhang, diminishing sales in their top sellers that are getting stale, no replacement "home run" product to turn things around. These 3 seem to no longer be growth stocks, do you think I should cut any of the three or give them some more time?
