Q: Good morning. I currently only have one bank (TD) and am thinking of adding a full position of Laurtentian Bank to take advantage of the recent drop in the share price. My question is, does the lead up to a provincial election in Quebec generally have negative effect on bank share prices in general and LB in particular? In other words, should I be anticipating further downward pressure on LB leading up to the fall election?

Thanks
Peter

Q: Hello Peter, and Ryan,
I would appreciate some guidance. EMH on Jan 3rd has been trading at $8 or so but they just announced a secondary offering $15M with a common share of $5 and a warrant at $6. I have seen this on other stocks and the value of the stock dips to the offering level but emh continues surging. Is this because of the hype or am i missing something? Much appreciated.

Q: I read your December response on this stock. It seems that their vaporizer product line required appropriate distribution channels to generate realistic returns. Apparently, the company has entered into a joint venture with one of the weed companies,which should bolster sales volumes.
Although still a high risk investment, the stock might probably be more palatable at this point. Would you agree?

Q: If one wanted to add exposure to the lumber industry do you have a favourite among these? I see that Resolute seems to have run away from the pack. WEF has trailed the others recently and has caught my eye. Please let me know which lumber stock you would suggest and why. It would also be helpful to know if you see adding in this sector as well timed or poorly timed. Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Happy New year and thanks again for the great service. Grande West was supposed to report on Dec 19th 2017. I have been looking at news releases and have not seen any earnings from Grande West. Any ideas what is going on? In general, if a company is to release its earnings on a particular date and it delays the earnings date, what does it say about that company? Is there a site i can look at (other than company site) that provides exact release dates. What is your view on Greenspace Brands and Yangarra Resources. Yangarra has done well last year eventhough most oil stocks were down. Is their balance sheet better than most oil companies in Canada? Thanks again.

Q: Good day...Your service and advise has done us well for our tenure with 5i...my question is we have 1600 shares of SIS that is house money at ACB of $6.06 does it make sense to add to this stock or better to hold as is....we have taken profits all along and invested in other balanced stocks and it now represents about a 2% of our total portfolio ...we have the cash to add to this but do not think it makes sense as we gain about 3 times at current ACB...thanks for helping...gene

Q: In the absence of fraud, if a company is trading under tangible book value and it goes bankrupt should the common equity holder get the tangible book value of his/her shares? I say this because I have been in this position before and got nothing with no explanation provided by my broker. As it was a small position and I am not a big player with armies of lawyers I couldn't take it further.

Q: You've liked Descartes in the past and have said it's a good company, but have tended to prefer other tech stocks such as Open Text, primarily because of the valuation of Descartes I believe. I'm wondering what has changed in the last month that you've started to make it as a top pick. Is it simply the 10% approx. pullback after last quarter? Are there any other changes that have occurred that have impacted this decision also? Thanks for your comments.
