Q: There is a report out that a CIBC advisor, Murray Bockhold in a letter to the Chairman of the Board of Extendicare Inc is asking the company to payout a special one time dividend of C$100 Million following the disposition of their US business, shrink the board to 7 directors from 9 and for the company to buy back C$100 million in shares. Do you think there is a possibility for any or all of these to occur? Thanks

Q: Hi. I have owned this stock for many years. Did quite well with it at first and sold off enough to cover my initial investment. I still hold 500 shares and could use the money that selling them would generate to buy stocks in other sectors that I am lacking. (I seem to be over invested in the healthcare sector). My question is .... should I just sell it now and use the cash to re-balance, or wait to see what happens with the pullout from the US.

Q: Re: EXE (Extendicare)
Hi,
I was puzzled by the wild ride this stock had in yesterday's trade. Was up almost 10% in the morning and of course way down (28%) by end of day.
Yes, I understand the reason it went down so much later, due to the big dividend cut. However, I'm totally confused about the way some news obviously must have passed around the large number of investors who "knew something was up" earlier on.
Just how and where is this kind of info available, since no news or public announcements were published about the company before this happened.
I am really turned off about this whole thing, how some investors are privvy of confidential info and many others are not. Was there inside info provided and why does it happen so often ? (See most recent price swings for CAE up 10% in one week).
Thank you for your comments.
Paul

Q: I have held EXE for a number of years in a RESP account. Not factoring in Dividend payments I'm at about a 20% loss at the current price. Considering I have about 8 more years to run on the RESP what is your opinion on hanging on for a turnaround or the sustainability of the current Dividend? Any suggestion on an alternate investment?

Thank you for this excellent resource and all of your advice so far!
