Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hydropothecary Corp announced yesterday after the close the Acceleration of the Warrant Expiry Date. The press release reads that they ' elected to exercise their right'. If they have the choice, why would they chose to do so at this time? This company is speculated to be a takeover in the medical marijuana space so would this part of their process to clean up their balance sheet?

Q: Greetings 5i,

I have been considering adding a position in DWDP, as I view it as an excellent diversified blue chip in the materials sector (which I view as the weakest sector in my portfolio). Moreover, as a fairly young investor (I am 36), I also view their holdings as very appealing long term prospects, as I cannot envision a time when practices like agriculture and chemical manufacturing will not be essential. However, given the impending breakup, I am unsure how to proceed, and would like your advice. Please feel free to deduct as many credits as you see fit.

First, could you provide your overall assessment of DWDP as a buy and hold name for a conservative, long-term portfolio, where neither funds nor proceeds will be needed for the foreseeable future?

Further, would you recommend purchasing the shares as they are now (perhaps a half position to start), or would it be prudent to wait for the breakup to occur, and reassess at that time (I am not in any rush to add to my portfolio, but do not want to miss out on an opportunity either)?

Finally, is it known what will happen to held shares once the breakup occurs (I was unable to find any stated plans in my research)? If not, could you please explain the most likely scenario in your opinion?

Thank you.

Q: Sylogist has been buying back shares in the market. I really don't see a big benefit in this seeing how the stock is already so illiquid, and we are already so late in a cycle. Is it really that hard to spend some of the 30million cash on something accretive where it is more beneficial to be buying back shares? Has the company stated in a conference call what they plan on doing with the cash and if they are looking to deploy it soon?
Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I have my accounts with Investorline. I have access to research reports from both S&P Global (quantitative stock reports) and Morningstar Equity Research as part of their service. Are these a good source of information or would you have any red flags that I should be aware of before using these as part of my research?
They also provide analyst ratings and target prices which I always take with a grain of salt. I know in past comments 5i doesn't view these favorably but do these offer any value to investors or should we just ignore these?
Reason I ask is there are always guests on BNN that do not view analysts very favorably for independence and other reasons. After hearing this many times, it gives one pause.
Thanks,
Dan
