Q: I have had these two co's for 5-6 years. I am currently at a loss of 50-60%. Should I sell these two and consolidate in something like FNV OR AEM or the bullion ETF? Is this the right time or should I wait till the gold price moves up. I only have about 4% of these stocks in my portfolio. Thanks.

Q: Given the sell off that we are experiencing, do you think this is because of people shorting the stock. Also, has Altagas now become attractive to activists?

  • $2.40 P/E (TTM): 17.5X Cap: $65M
  • View COV Profile

Q: How do you see this acquisition by COV. A purchase price of $16.1M CAN for a company which gave you $11.1 CAN seems great but would I be correct that their bottom line margins are much lower then what COV's regular business gives.
Revenue of $11.1M CAN with earnings of $.684 M is much lower than revenue of
$20 M and earnings of $2.2 M (for the first 3 quarters of 2018) on a percentage basis.
Thanks
