Q: Mogo was IPO'd at around $10 per share. Since then the stock has wondered down to less than half that price--yet the company has diversified from a quick "payday" lender to one that now derives 50% of its revenue from subscription services that were not even part of the valuation at the time of initial offering (I believe). It is also the only Canadian Fintech that seems to be getting any traction in the marketplace. So my question is, why is the market not paying more attention to this company?

Q: I am just wondering if you know why sometimes a stock cannot be traded on line when in a self directed account. For example, in order to trade MOGO finance with TD I must call them in order to make a trade. The answer I get from TD is that they do that with a certain number of stock with low trading volume or when they are high risk stocks. I don't think MOGO falls into that category anymore than many other stocks that are thinly traded and much riskier. They have no explanation as to why MOGO is one of the stocks that cannot be traded on line. Is it worrisome? Is there something wrong with the company?

Q: What do you make of the recent announcement on Sedar (July 3rd) regarding Michael Wekerle's acquisition of more shares in Mogo? Can anything be read into this purchase? I suppose he's either expecting the stock to go up for some reason or is positioning himself to take over the company (if that is even a realistic possibility, which I don't know). I would be interested in your comments. Thanks as always.

Q: Hello Peter,
On Nov 23, 2017 Brian has asked about GoldMoney and in Dec 2017, Amy had asked about Mogo Finance. You had indicated that both were buys at the time and the stocks were high. What has changed so much that both companies have declined significantly 6 months later. Also, can you please explain the main differences between Cannabis Wheaton (now Auxly Cannabis), CannRoyalty, and Ianthus Capital Holdings as latter two continue to do well where as Cannabis Wheaton is in the dumps. Finally, i just wanted to comment that in addition to your expert advice, i do appreciate the comments by members and the type of questions asked as it provides insight into many companies. I find this site very useful in many respects. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
I was thinking of putting money in CME, SQ, GS, GMP (toronto), XAU(toronto), and MOGO(toronto) as a means of getting myself started on investing in bitcoin. Any comments? Lastly, when a company like CMED is reluctant for a takeover, does this normally imply the company is looking for more money on the table or feels it can do it on its own? I know that is a speculative question but in general as it seems CMED is not backing down. Thanks very much.

Q: Hello Peter,
Both of these stocks ride on momentum. If one owns them, how do you approach the sell aspect? Do you simply use technical analysis of 10 and 20 day averages as opposed to 50 and 200 maybe too long given how quickly they rise and fall? Also, once they are sold, how does one approach the buy part (10 , 20 day averages again) Your comments are appreciated.

Q: My portfolio is light in the financial sector (CXI) and and I was thinking of adding GS at about half position (25K) to my RRSP and/or cash account for at least a 5 year hold, likely much longer. Although the yield is very attractive, I would prefer more growth. I am about 5 years from retirement and will be fully funded from other sources. I have slightly above moderate risk tolerance. Please suggest 2-3 stocks from each Canada and US, and if possible provide a rating. Thanks.
