Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
I’ve owned SFL for years, since shortly after I first became aware of it via some early 5i comments. The holding is under water and has been for much of the time I’ve owned it, though the amount it is down has been more than offset by the generous dividend payments received. It has always been priced as though its dividend was in significant jeopardy but the dividend has actually been increased more than once while I have held it. What do you think of its prospects these days? I don’t have any other marine shipping exposure. I can’t help noting that the short interest is listed by my online broker as about 16% of the “float”. Is it time to abandon ship? Thanks!

Q: Can you comment on Harte Gold Corp. Is the recent dip a buying opportunity, or would you see any concerns.

Q: Good morning.

Your 15% prediction on AGT seems to be holding as accurate.

My question is what should a holder of the stock do with this drop? I own in an RRSP and thus have no tax advantage to sell but if a rebound is unlikely I will suck it up and move on.

Would you
1. Sell
2. Hold
3. Average down

Please explain the fundamental reasons for your recommendation along with best course of action

Thank you in advance

Q: I've been watching this stock for a while (up and up it went). Of course as soon as I jumped onboard a couple of days ago it dropped. I always have trouble with these "shooting star" issues. The question is always did I miss the boat or does it still have legs? What do you think?

Q: Is there a case to be made for trading HCG with it sitting at current levels? I realize that your service advocates careful and balanced portfolio management but there do seem to be opportunities to harvest $.40/.50 cent swings.

As a second part to the question, do you see the company going to Zero or has it already bottomed out as CXR and VRX did before it with the short attacks. The underlying business seems better than it is getting credit for but perhaps that doesn't matter.

Q: Hello - any news on earnings? Thank you.

Q: Could you please comment on their results and outlook.

Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i,

What are the forward EPS and revenues for Aphria (APH)? What is there trailing and forward quarterly growth rate for revenues at? Also what is there cash and debt position?
What is the cost of production metric that is used in the industry and how do they compare?

Thank you,

Shane

Q: I see on Friday a US Law Firm announced its investigating whether the offer for Span-America was "fair" for Span shareholders. I find this confusing. Isn't this usually instigated by an Investment Bank or large shareholder? What can be unfair about an offer to buy shares? If you don't want to sell, then don't tender. Do you see this causing the offer to rise? Could there be anything illegal about this offer?

Q: Your view on the last quarter would be appreciated.

Q: Hi.. how do you rate TAP US or would ADW .A be a better choice for a long time hold in a TSFA
Thanks

Q: I have held MKP for years. It has dropped in recent days in sympathy with HCG. Since it is a similar company, could it have similar issues? I also note that the dividend has risen to over 8%, another reason for concern? What action would you recommend for a holder of MKP at this time?

Q: Just wanted to make a correction to a reply you gave to a previous question on EFN. You mentioned that the small company facing the lawsuit is Clarion. As you can see from the extract below, it's actually Celadon Group Inc.

Keep up the great work.

NEW YORK, April 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Celadon Group Inc. (NYSE:CGI) who purchased shares between December 30, 2016 and April 18, 2017. The action, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.

In particular, the complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) CGI's equity contribution to its joint venture with Element Financial Corp. was $68.2 million, rather than the $100 million contribution the Company reported in its public filings; (ii) the Company is being actively investigated by the SEC; and (iii) that as a result of the foregoing, CGI's publicly disseminated financial statements were materially false and misleading.

Shareholders have until June 19, 2017 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.

Q: Hello!
Do you know any reason why Prometic has been trending lower lately? Is is a good time to buy?
Thanks,

Q: Do you know how much CXIs earnings might be tied to vacation travel in the US? If one believes that the “Trump effect” will significantly reduce tourism in the US, how might it impact their earnings? Also do you know when they are scheduled to report and what are the consensus estimates (if they have any analyst coverage)?

Q: Just a clarification on TFSA. If I had run up my TFSA to 200K and this year I cashed out, next year I could put back in the 200K I had withdrawn plus the 2018 contribution , is that correct. thanks, Jean

Q: Hello do you have a preference bwtween SIS and Kinaxis for growth? Is one more risky than the other? Thanks, Bill

Q: I would appreciate your analysis of the recently-released quarter for McEwen Mining and your view on gold in the near term. A pundit on TV today said gold looks good because of the low CAD. How does a low dollar help gold when it's priced in USD?
Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Do you have any suggestions for a replacement for MDA?

Thanks,
