Q: Ecn is reporting soon. What are expectations? I am holding with a small loss which I fear is going to turn into a big loss when financials are released and results of review are revealed. The stock is acting very much like CTS leading up to the completion of their strategic review. Thoughts ?

Q: hi,
can I get your opinion on the Aug. 9th Globe and Mail article by David Rosenberg and Bhawana Chhabra, "...It's time for investors to revisit their asset mix." And are you able to provide a few Canadian dollar ETF's to buy ( US treasury index? other? ), if you would in fact recommend that?
thanks, Chris

  • $3,814.13 P/E (TTM): 92.98X Cap: $80.82B
  • View CSU Profile
  • View Questions on CSU

Q: According to the July 18 news release from CSU:

"The Company’s quarterly results will be disseminated via press release and made available on the Company’s website ( www.csisoftware.com ) and SEDAR, after markets close on Friday, August 11, 2023."

Is it normal for companies to release their results after market close ON A FRIDAY?

Politicians want to release bad news at the end of the day on a Friday, especially before a long weekend. So I am wondering if a company would follow suit by releasing bad news at the end of the week after the market closes.

I am not expecting bad news, but I can't recall a company like CSU releasing their results after the markets are closed on a Friday.

Your comments?

Q: I would like to get your latest opinion on this company after their latest earnings report. Topline numbers appear to be very strong.
I am looking for a secure dividend with some long term capital appreciation. In your opinion how safe is the monthly dividend. Are their debt ratios ok? Do they have much competition?

Thanks very much

Please give your opinion on this quarterly report. It looks great to me...but am I missing something. I own the stock and am up. Not sure if this is a time to buy on strength...be happy and cash in...or just be cautious and hold. Your opinion is always respected before I take full responsibility for my decisions.
