Investment Q&A

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

Q: I believe the main reason for the sudden drop in HWO over the past few days is that a stock advisory service, which had been recommending HWO as a buy for the last few years, suddenly issued a SELL recommendation, due to risk of lower oil prices and declining cash flows. The notice came out at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (1PM EST) on Wed, and the stock price dropped immediately on sudden large volume.

Q: Good Morning.
I wanted to make room for GSY in my RRSP. Would you endorse a switch from ECN/EFN? Or do you see this alternative unnecessary?
Thank you

Q: I have a follow up to Chad's question. And I'm sorry to beat this issue to death (last question on the topic). But you mention Litner's acquisition of 307k share on January 26th, but Canadianinsider.com lists those vary 307k shares as exercised options (0.15 per share). I've also been watching Litner sell a ton of common shares (well over a million) over the past ~45 days on canadianinsider.com with no mention of any actual buying in the public market. Does your insider sales source that shows "Net" buying take into consideration the difference between exercising options and true acquisitions in the public market? Is the information on Candianinsider.com to be trusted? I know investors shouldn't put a lot of stock into insider sales as these individuals can be selling for a number of personal reasons unrelated to the stock, but the number of shares Litner disposed of seemed quite substantial to me.
Thanks again.

Q: In an answer to Alexandra you stated that the distribution was a combination of dividends and return of capital with roughly 75% of the distribution being a dividend ....I had recently looked at this also...their website states that the 2015 distributions were as follows: 38.3% eligible dividend, 40.7% foreign non-business income and 21% ROC. This can vary but at least in 2015 over 40% was fully taxable income.
