Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter! SIS said in their statement "There are over a thousand resellers of accessibility products in North America." Their purpose behind this statement was to iterate that there are many opportunities for acquisitions that could improve synergies, but I'm more concerned about how they maintain a competitive advantage. Do they depend too much on R&D? If not, what makes them stand out from the rest and what are the barriers to entry? Is there any brand loyalty among its customers? Do you see them being bought out in the future (i.e. like United Technologies that own OTIS elevators)? Thanks!

Q: Hi. Ceapro is , I believe, a company that is making inroads into the cosmetics industry with natural grains etc and NO animal testing. Do you folks know much about this company. Also, as I do not invest in companies I consider to be ethically questionable, do you have ideas about ethical companies with good growth or income outlooks? Thanks.

Q: I currently own DRT and wonder if it would be better to sell DRT and invest in SHOP or another tech company as my total weight in this sector is only 4% and does appears to have better growth. I currently own ENGH and KXS both at 2% weight.

Thanks

Q: My only gold stock is MND. I figure if I'm going to wait around to see what happens to gold, I want to be paid something. What do you think of MND? On the dividend, how is the payout ratio? How long have they been paying it? Have they ever raised or cut it? Are there any other cash-flowing mid-cap or small-cap gold dividend payers? Thanks.

Q: I've held ADN for a couple of years and am underwater about 10%, but have enjoyed the 5% dividend along the way. I don't mind hanging onto it other than I'd sure like to see it break water one of these days. But is there another company in the same sector that I could replace it with that pays a dividend but has better growth prospects?
