Investment Q&A

Q: Have you had time to assess the recent developments? They have reduced the monthly dividend from 23 cents to 10 cents and suspended the DRIP programs which have been the source of a lot of dilution over the years.

From what was said on the conference call it appears that they have abandoned the High Yield, High POR Income Trust Model. Going forward they intend to fund their Growth with internally generated funds and focus on creating shareholder value.

The Oil market will be whatever it is but should improve at some point.

I would be interested in your thoughts on what is actually a dramatic change in Crescent Points financial and growth strategy.

Q: You've rated GC as a 'B' in your reports. It is down 25% from it' high, down 8% today alone and is flat on the year.

Why has GC taken such a hard hit? and how do you feel about the outlook of continuing to hold the stock?

Thanks and ouch!

Q: What is your opinion about the current drop in the stock price. Down 20% in the last week

Q: The Company keeps impressing me. I'm surprised 5I does not cover it. They keep increasing dividends and monopolizing market segments. It looks like they have gotten most of their ducks in a row and continue on the acquisition trail. Seems the market likes their latest results. Would you please share your thoughts on EIF.
Thank you.

Q: I sometimes read that analysts increase a company's outlook from "market perform" to "market outperform" OR from "hold" to "buy" but they lower the company's target price. They increase the rating but lower the target price?? You would think the target price would go up. I do not understand. Thanks.

Q: Please give me your opinion on this company and their latest results.

Q: I have a non stock specific question but Enbridge is a good example. Can you explain how stocks balance out across borders when they trade in different national markets in different currencies. In the case of a stocks like Enbridge for example how do the various markets reconcile say a rising interest rate environment in the U.S. versus a falling or steady interest rate environment in Canada? There is the currency question but there is also some intrinsic different potential reactions to a steady dividend payer in these different rate scenarios. So how does the Mr. Market "know" what to do? If there is any literature you can point me to that would also be much appreciated. Thanks once again.

Q: down a lot today. any reasons.( besides a bad quarter).
Any value here?

Thx

Q: Can you explain what it means- and the possible impact of the comment I heard on BNN regarding CXV in BNN with regard to a 40 cent financing that comes off restriction that may trigger a sell off.
Thanks.

Q: I would appreciate your comments on Amaya's earnings release and its second release regarding the acquisition of Victiv.Thank you, Peter

Q: Please comment on results. Where is a good place to find earnings and revenue expectations? When you mention P/E ratios do you typically look at the current quarter EPS and the following three?

Q: The dividend increase is nice but looks like the South Carolina plant is a bit of a mess, looks like someone got wind of this before the rest of the market. What are you thoughts is this still worth holding or get out and see how things shake out over time?

Q: Intrinsyc Technologies TSX:ITC has been a dog of a small cap high-tech stock for many years. That said, over the last two years the Company seems to be engineering a turnaround. Their recent Q2 report was further evidence of that. On Monday the Company issued a press release about two previously disclosured customers that have begun issuing purchase orders for Intrinsyc’s computer modules that should ramp up according to Management, to significant quantities in 2016. What was interesting is that the Company issued a material change report with this press release about the potential revenue impact for 2016. This is common to issue material report? Should investors read into this as being significant positive development for the Company?

Q: Hi, Sylogist just released Excellent quarterly results. Stock compensation, though still seems to be a drag on net earnings. Company has $44mln in cash. I have also noted that recently they have repurchased some stock. Could you please share your comments? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter
Can you comment on this stock please, I know Ian Ainsworth purchased it for his U.S. Growth fund.
It's been a great free cash flow generator, However it has no Retained earnings and debt continues to grow, what are they doing with all the free cash.
Also would you consider the 650 million of goodwill to be a Red Flag, and finally what do you think compelled Mr Ainsworth to take a position in this stock recently.
Thanks Gord
