Investment Q&A

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

Q: In Amaya's last financing, I notice the following: The Common Shares issued under the Private Placement are subject to a statutory resale restriction until November 12, 2013.
Is that date likely to bring increased selling? In other words, should we expect a price drop on Nov 12? I believe the share price for the financing was $6.25 ? I realize you can't predict what those who participated in the financing will do, but I'm wondering if there is a general rule of thumb. Just want to brace myself or trim some before. Thanks

Q: I would like to invest in the solar energy space, and to that end have been keeping my eye on First Solar (FSLR) and Canadian Solar (CSIQ), both trading on the Nasdaq.

Of the two, which would you recommend for a full position, and why?

Alternatively, would you suggest a half position in each? (2.5%) Both seem to be making great gains in the past 6 months, and I'm not sure if I'm really comparing apples to apples anymore.

Thanks!

Q: With the IPCCs release of their latest climate change report, I'm concerned what will happen to the TSX which is over 30 percent energy stocks should governments finally decide to clamp down on carbon emissions.How could ETF investors protect themselves? Would you buy an alternative energy etf like TAN or is there a better way to hedge potential losses over time?

Q: Hi,

Do you think the hype around 3D companies is justified. Are companies DDD and SSYS good buys even at these inflated P/E multiples. What do you think about this industry 2 years down the road. Thanks

Q: Hi,

Have you heard about a company LXV. This company is launching a social website Mobio on Dec 1. The company is already up a lot in the last few days and the volume has picked up by 20 times. Is it worth the risk?

Q:
Sphere 3D (any: tsxv) is not a 3d printing company but rather in the cloud space. It has contracts with Corel.

The company has done a private placement at $3.35. Share price is at $4.30. Is this not a good sign ? The market cap is only around $75 million with a low float count.

Regards,
Thomas

Q: Hi, I would like to know if you've looked at ANY and what you think of this 3D printing technology. Could this bring about the next industrial revolution? I am very tempted to go there with a few $$. DDD, ANY, and now a new ETF (ROBO) covering robotics has come onto the market...how to play? Your thoughts, please. Regards

Q: Good afternoon, Peter & Co.
I guess this question goes far beyond the normal scope of this forum but I am having difficulty doing an analysis of the sector and the investment possibilities.
I would like your insight/opinions on the area of 3D printing and possible investments. I have done some work on 3D Systems (DDD) and Stratasys (SSYS). I assume investing in this sector would be speculative.
Thanks for your valuable insight and comments.
