Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning from B.C.

I woke today to see that Richmont Mines announced a bought deal financing valued at 34 million (they are selling X# of shares at $4.00 a piece).

My take is that $4.00 is a great price for them to get (seems that financial institutions usually extract a price much lower than current market value when doing these), but am unsure what it means bigger picture. I think 5i generally doesn't like these sorts of events as it dilutes current shareholders, however I'd appreciate your thoughts on RIC specifically.

Is this a bullish event for RIC?

Thanks so much.

Q: I am concerned that a flat yield curve is bad news for HCG in that their margins will be squeezed. I don't think that they will be able to repeat past years' performance. When they were profitable back in 2009, the yield curve was steeper than it is now. I am down 13% with this stock and considering moving on as I think the future does not look bright. Do you think this could be the reason for the drop in the stock price?

Q: I have about a 6% position in Open Text (OTC) and about a 2.5% position in DH Corp (DH) representing my tech holdings. Do you see anything wrong with slowly adding to DH while valuations remain under 14.5x 2015 earnings (I have 2015 consensus at $2.45 earnings per share)?

Do you see the potential slowing earnings in the banks having a material impact on DH's growth prospects?

Lastly, I'm thinking about slowly building DH to about a 4% position and then adding between a 4% and 5% position in either CSU or MDA to round out my tech holdings over the course of this year. What percentage weighting in tech would you consider too much? Thanks again.

Q: In early Dec you advised waiting to see what the new year brought for this stock. Seven weeks later it is down over 4% today alone, barely above its 52-week low with an RSI is 12 on low volume. Is this a good entry point for 2+ year hold or would you suggest continuing to wait. I would only purchase 1/2 position or less to start and $6.45 is tempting.

Q: I currently own GG:NYSE and have a paper gain. If the ECB does provide stimulus this Thursday would you sell GG:NYSE and buy a European ADR listed on the NYSE. If they do not provide stimulus would you sell GG:NYSE and buy a Swiss ADR traded on the NYSE, thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my question.
