Q: What is the story with DH?

SP was up yesterday supposedly due to the Q2 results, and today it did a 180 and took a big dive wiping out yesterday's gains and then some. I used to own gold and mining stocks and have seen this play many times in the past. I thought DH is main stream enough and big enough to not being played that way. If that is not the doing of some manipulators, what could be the possible reason for yesterday's pump and today's dump?

Thanks.

Q: Can you explain more about CSU conference call and Q2 results? For a previous question on CSU you told that Revenue Estimate at $510 million and EBITDA @ 131 million (I am assuming these are CAD though wrongly printed as USD). However you later said EPS missed estimates by 50c. I felt this is a big miss. You also said stock may be week. However today CSU went up. Can you explain. I came out of my CSU position today and want to know if I have to re enter. If not can you suggest a better stock than CSU in tech sector?

Q: What I see from the last several quarters is a company that will not grow as fast as it did in previous years. Nevertheless, with revenue and originations up, moderate EPS should eventually appear. The company has a very low P/E, low payout ratio, rising dividends and decreasing share count. Is this morning's sell-off not a buying oportunity?
Are investors simply too fearful of the name to even look at the numbers and see some value? Or perhaps I am missing something here?


Regards
John

Q: Preferred shares and fixed income

Hi 5i team : I own only common stocks in my portfolio and since I am a mature person that is near retirement, I have the feeling that my exposure to common stocks is very high. So far, to mitigate my risk, I keep daily of the market changes, so I do not get caught in a drastic downturn.
To get more protection, I have thought in buying some preferred shares , but I know nothing about them to start a position.
Are the P.S. a good way to go ?, if so, what should I learn about them and how (references, books, etc), also what would be a reasonable percentage of my portfolio to have in P.S.?
thanks for your help
Alex
