Q: Good day gentlemen,
This company seems to hold 400M in cash. I believe that is roughly 2$ per share. Can you confirm? Also, the contract with Quebec is for 20k kilos in year 1, with increases every year for total c. 200k kilos over 5 years. I looked at the latest financials I could find on their site. It seams their selling price for past periods was 10$ per gram. I know that this is not possible with the Quebec contract. As a back of the envelope calculation, would it not be conservative to think they could NET 2$ or 3$ per gram on this contract.
Would that not make this stock extremely cheap? Also I notice most analysis is done on EV / Ebitda, can you explain the difference between this and P/E. why do they use this and not future P/E.
Thanks

Q: Hello. Can you point me in the direction of a few solid health sector, dividend paying stock options that would be suitable to hold within an RRSP? I’m looking at a five to eight year horizon and consider myself as a ‘low to moderate’ risk investor.
PS found recent ‘ How to Pick a Stock in 2018’ very helpful. Thanks!

Q: Bank of Canada just raised the key rate to 1.75% and drops its pledge to move gradually. What's Mr. Poloz seeing that the rest of us are missing because the TSX is singing a much different tune? I hope it's not the part time jobs from the recent elections in Ont, Que & NB. We're a little removed from what's happening in Central Canada but I can safely say the Alberta economy is not running at full capacity. In fact one of the largest land developers in Calgary just recently let go 40 office workers.
It's not the first time the BoC has been offside and had to reverse course. They seem to focus too much on a few key data points and ignore the economy as a whole.

Q: Not sure this is for this Q & A but as i started looking at my capital gains and losses for tax loss selling, I am not sure how stock splits are handled. For example, can you walk through how 100 shares of EFN split with ECN how to calculate my adjust cost base. My trading platform shows the adjusted cost base but for the life of me i cannot figure out how they came up with the number.
