Q: I have a question about Surge Energy, SGY. From your comments and answers to other questions, you seem to like the company and speak favourably of it. My question is, SGY is not an "official" recommendation. What is it about the company that keeps you from formally recommending it? Does it have deficiencies or risks that concern you? Thanks again for your help.
Q: Good Day, I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to sell my LSG shares in favor of G. I have taken a loss on LSG however would like to keep a gold position in my portfolio. Does this make sense? Thank You
Q: Thanks for all you do and happy trails on your bike. With the recent problems at CUS and the associated price collapse, are there potential corporate buyers for this suite of assets in North America and can you 'guess' at a couple of possible names? Would someone like Chemtrade be one? You may count this as two questions!! No urgency on reply.
Q: BTE..r and yesterday's question. My understanding is that when the deal closes BTE.r will have accumulated but unpaid dividends attached. So BTE.r already has $0.22 attached that will be paid at the close. This in the NR announcing the close of the financing but is not in the initial NR about financing.
Q: I understand that lower betas mean a less volatile stock, but what is the signifigance of a -0 beta? Also, can I have your opinion on AET.UN? Too risky?
Q: Peter et al
A general question if I may. Though I haven't done any research on the topic, it seems to me, as a fairly observant watcher of the market, that there is quite a strong correlation between a stock's performance leading up to its reporting and the
reporting itself. Ie. it seems with better than chance odds, if a stock does well in the few days before reporting, it's report will be positive. I appreciate that reports are not stuck in
Fort Knox or somewhere pending release and so I'm just wondering, given your considerable experience in the market, if you have noted a similar correlation. Leaks, of course, could come from anywhere, but, I guess I'm wondering if this apparent (to me at least) correlation is something one should perhaps take account of in buying/selling a stock just ahead of reporting.
I hope I don't sound like some sort of conspiratorist, I'm just wondering how level the playing field is on some of these things.
Thanks for your thoughts. As it is perhaps not a question of general interest, please publish only if you wish.
Thanks as always
Neil
Q: hi gang
I am looking to take a position in SDRL. What are your thoughts on this stock? Is the dividend sustainable? Am I better to buy an ETF like Ishares MSCI (ENOR?
Thanks for your input.
