Investment Q&A

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

Q: What would be the reason why there are not more mergers and acquisitions in this environment? I would think with interest rates virtually nil that businesses would want to buy something in the same space in order to grow. Cheap to borrow right now.

Q: I would be very interested in your opinion of companies engaging in the provision of consumer debt. Given the employment, market, and general economic situation would a well-financed company in this space do well? Any thoughts on the relative merits of OMF:US and GSY:CA? Do you have any favourites in this space?
Thanks, in advance, for your invariably thought-provoking reply...

Q: Good morning and Happy Canada Day!
Thoughts on Evertz quarter and what your expectation of where the dividend goes from here. Would you expect them to return to .18 per quarter in short order or will we see a further cut ? Do you consider the dividend cut prudent or is it possible they are trying to chase away public shareholders and take the company private in the near term?
Thanks Rob

Q: Covered Calls on positions held like: CDN Banks, BCE & T etc. I have never considered this strategy before; but, I am now. Reading up on it and would appreciate any comments/suggestions?

Selling covered calls on positions one has to earn extra income. I’ve been reading about it and it seems as though it is not something I should try? I noticed some ETFs do it to increase income payouts.

Thank you

What other companies does officers have a financial interest in? Don't see this too often on questions? Are you only invested in American names?

Private question but you can answer publically if you wish
