Investment Q&A

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

Q: ALA has been weak lately. The stock is still up about 30% since Jan 1st but lower over one year. Do you think the weakness is related to selling the remaining portion of their Canadian spin-off or just normal trading? Looking at the one year chart it appears some sellers could be taking profits and others could be crystallizing capital losses. I don't think volume has significantly picked-up during the decline - the stock just tends to drift lower.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: Could you please explain "after hours trading".
It doesn't seem like a very equitable concept.
Thanks

Q: The stock had a "provision of income taxes" of $48M and that has killed their earnings.
Their net loss is actually better this Q compared to Q2.
Net loss before income taxes this Q is $24M compared to $28 in Q2.
Shouldn't this $48M be omitted in the calculation for adjusted income/loss?

Q: Hi,

BEP has taken off recently and despite the market's rush to safety and dividend paying stocks, I can't rationalize the quick increase. From my charting work, the current price is as high as it'll go in the near term unless it has some new sources of growth (i.e. acquisitions). I'll also note that its upward move comes with increasing volume, however in the past 2 weeks both price and volume have stagnated (which supports my thesis and chart that this has topped).

AQN, looks better at the moment - similar dividend as BEP, but with more growth potential.

For me, all points lead to selling BEP and looking to buy back in later or initiate in AQN. Can you convince me otherwise?

Q: Hello 5i,
I am up 125% on Target (10,000) and down 25% (5,000)on ZPR. Should I sell ZPR and substitute it with something else that you can suggest and sell TGT. This to buy back in a month.
Would you suggest buying back TGT with the full amount gained or get back to the original amounts splitting the proceeds between your suggested replacement for ZPR and TGT?

Should I just keep everything as is, collect the dividends and watch TGT go up? I do not need the funds.
Thank you and please remove the appropriate amount of credits.
