Investment Q&A

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

Q: The stock price falls on a daily basis. My understanding is that business is very good. What triggered the drop was news that in the state of Colorado, where QST does most of it's business, there will be on the November ballot an initiative asking people if drilling in Colorado should be restricted to at least 2500 feet away from homes, schools etc. Companies that do most of their gas business in Colorado ( like Extraction Energy) have taken a bit of a hit but nothing like Questor. If you could give any advise to Questor management on how to deal with the share price slide, what would it be?

Q: Hi,
Would you please comment on the impact of the news that Loblaw will spin out its interest in Choice Properties REIT? It sounds like Loblaw Minority Shareholders will receive 0.135 common shares of George Westin Limited for each common share of Loblaw held. Does that mean after the deal closes these shares will be added to a brokerage account? If so, and if those Westin shares are sold, is this a tax-free transaction?
Thank you. Michael

Q: Hello Peter / Ryan
Generally speaking, is there anything out there that really worries you about the way the economy is currently or where it is headed ? On the whole, you seem optimistic / upbeat and I'm wondering what it takes to shake you up and make you nervous. Just curious.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I am interested in purchasing the Vanguard Global Active ETF's, VLQ, VMO, VVO and VVL but, I am concerned with the low average trading volumes. I calculated the average daily trading volumes to range between approx. 500 [VLQ] to 5,000 shares[VVL]. I would like to purchase/sell at least 100 shares at a time to justify the 9.95 commission. Will I likely be influencing the stock price because of the low volumes? Is the Vanguard Canada published Premium/Discount data for these ETF's in line with most commonly traded ETF's?

Thanks

Q: I have read all of the answers regarding Namaste and it does not seem that you find it very attractive;however, given the latest announcements on the medical and the recreational side, do you now feel it has good potential from here. The company seems to be landing good agreements for distribution and their medical side seems interesting. My only concern is what stops the big players from replicating their model? Thanks

Q: Thinking of selling altagas. Concerned about dividend at 2.19 or about 9% with earnings at about .89 for 2018 and about 1.30 projected 2019.
Hear not favorable comments on BNN but read what I believe favorable as investment with you.
Can't see dividend remaining sustainable. What am I missing is this worth hanging on. Appreciate your comments. Thanks
