Investment Q&A

Q: Markets seem to be shrugging off the threat of a trade war. Do you think there is a high risk of a crash? Are Investors are not taking it seriously? Or would the impact of more and more tariffs be small enough that it’s offset by current economic growth? Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter,
Are you able to shed more light on this stock? I have asked before but the response was vague and I can understand as most of these companies are not producing sizable revenues. They seem to have captured the Quebec market , yet the stock is not moving with the sector. Today, all of them are moving up except for Hydropothecary. Is it time to dump it and move into Organigram (OGI) etc Thanks

Q: I am trying to understand the financing scheme with this company. Do they have the financing or not? As I read their releases (confusing), it seems financing is in place but only if "certain" conditions are met. Basically, can investors expect to see their satellites fly anytime soon and start making money?
Thanks guys

Q: In Joel Greenblatts book "You can be a stock market genius" he mentions that spin-offs historically have been great investments. Obviously not all of them but a high number of them. Specifically they were most successful when key executives from the original company would be moving to the spin off company and leading it, and most specifically when those key executives had large incentives (options, shares, etc) if the spin off company was successful. Also there was a large amount of insider buying from these execs, specifically the CEO, CFO, etc. One example was one of John Malone's spin offs which to this day is seen as one of the most profitable in history. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this theory. Does the theory rain true in some of the spin offs we have seen like (ECN/EFN), (Bombardier/DOO). Thanks!

Q: Where can I find a list of stocks that their distributions are mainly R.O.C. ?

Q: Hi Peter and Team - After the recent deal, what is your opinion of management. You have clearly stated your thoughts on this deal (and thank you for that) but are there any positives left on the state of the management of this company. My feeling is that if management has deteriorated to such a low level in its ability to make smart decisions then the stock is no longer worth holding. Having said that are there any fundamentals that might make this a stock to hold on to in spite of the turmoil. Thanks.

Also are any fundamentals
