Q: I hold SIS and also disappointed, but I did purchase at $5.72 so I will watch for now. PLC announced an offering: Park Lawn Corporation Announces $125 Million Bought Deal Offering and Successful Completion of Cress Funeral Service Acquisition. Stock down 6.75%, is this an opportunity to purchase PCL at a discount?
Thanks

Q: I would like to know if there is any "hanky panky" going on with
SIS and Dejardins. SIS got upgraded by Dejardins from $16 to $17.50 on an earnings miss which made the stock go up over $15. Now Dejardins are the underwriters
of this deal. Also does this type of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"
happen often in the markets?

Q: What are your thoughts on the bought deal private placement of 5M shares? If this was a less common occurrence it would be acceptable but SIS just raised money last year. On both occasions they wait for the share price to get to around $15/$16 and they decide to raise money and drive the share price down. They have set a ceiling on the share price and everytime it gets momentum they send it falling back down to earth. It seems to me that they raise the dividend to drive up the share price only to dilute our shares to get more money. If you need money why raise the dividend 20%, why not keep it the same or slight raise to save money and stop diluting and let the share price go above $16. I've liked mgmt but I'm starting to lose confidence in their decisions around growth. They have just ensured that the share price will fall to $14 tomorrow and stay in that range for months to come. Same as last year. Sorry, frustrated with the recurring dilution. Thanks

Q: Hi,

I have losses that I am holding in ITC, CRH, and WCP inside my TFSA. I would like to sell one or all of these in order to add to some of the other names listed. In which order would you sell first, as well as which ones would you add to right now considering where the stock is trading at currently? Thanks!

I am underwater in all of these stocks in one of my non registered accounts. I would like to sell and then buy back in 30 days or more in my TFSA or RRIF (not sure which). Do you feel any of these may pop up within that time frame? With that in mind in what order should I sell first..to last? Your suggestions will be greatly valued as always.

Q: Hi Gang, good news is I sold most of the above with gains except for COV and KXS, looking closer if I did not the losses would put me in big trouble, over 40% for most of them from the high, I know that 2018 was not a stellar year but I'm 65 years old and can't wait 5 years for these stocks to come back, do you have any thoughts on how to get out before a stock takes a 40% haircut, is a 8% or 10% stop rule help or perhaps farther out. Thanks Anthony

Q: Purchased this back in June 2018 for my RRSP account for some "growth" with a 2% position. Now down 22% - at what point does one say that's enough and move. Can you suggest a possible replacement a little less volatile.
thanks

Q: My question revolves around Peter's webinar and the thought we should know when to sell our losers. I bought the above just before the decline last year. All outpaced (negatively)the market decline considerably. During the recent market rally 2 have not participated with the market, the others have basically market performed. Leaving the value at this point -23%. There have been some misses in the last reports for these companies. As an investor what am I looking for now to continue to hold these positions or be a seller.
Thank you,
Mike
