Q: Hi team,
Is the 10% drop in PRL shares a buying opp today? As usual in the market these drops make little sense mathematically speaking the offer of 100 million in shares on a company with over 1 billion market cap should theoretically not drop all the way back to offer price . Same thing happened to HPS a couple days ago. If the deal was good; which no reason to doubt it won’t be if you trust the company , then it seems like a gift to buy shares in the dip on days like today. Or what am I missing here ?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Why are the markets so insensitive to what’s going in the world? Near war in the Middle East, genocide in Ukraine, far-right parties everywhere in Europe, vicious comments in the US . Not close enough yet to North American pockets? Publish if you want. Thanks.

Q: Just a comment. Quite some time ago GSY was trading around $90 and issued a huge number of shares significantly under 90. The deal sold out plus the over allotment. The market price dropped of course on high volume. I realized that the firm buying the shares were fully expecting that the value of GSY hence the share price would go well beyond $90.
I apply the same thoughts to PRL

Q: My favorite holdings LMN and DRX are lagging behind recently. It seems that LMN has a significant insiders selling over the past few months and DRX has a customer concentration risk issue. With the current negative momentum, do you see any red flag for concern or a good opportunity to buy more with new cash ? Thank you for your great service. Bill.

Q: Can you recommend a hedged ETF that follows the S&P 500, but not with the Magnificent 7 having a lot of weight, as I feel these are overbought? I really like ZUE but it has too much Magnificent 7. Looking for 10% appreciation first year including both capital appreciation and dividends.

Q: Is there any recent news on this stock? Do you have an opinion on the future here. Is there technology approved/confirmed? Are we at the marketing / contract stage of growth? Have had some nice price appreciation in some other small cap Canadian companies lately. (PNG, ZDC AEP) Do you feel this company is ready?
Again Thanks for your help

Q: Hi,
I reviewed Q&A on INTC post "melt down"! I can understand your words of caution.

My question is based on a recent comment by a guest on BNN Bloomberg (Mark Sebastien) who said that INTC's fabrication unit alone is worth 22$. With QCOM and hedge funds circling around and the technical pattern indicating the possibility of island gap reversal, worth taking a small position for a quick 20-30% profit?
(22 to 30$ jump).

Am I dreaming or being delusional?!

Q: Hi All at 5i! I have 44K in CPD in a non registered account which provides me monthly income via dividends. I prefer a stock which pays a decent dividend but also offers some growth. I would like to sell my CPD which has given me no growth and reinvest in better growth/ dividend paying stocks. Could you offer me the names of 5 such stocks?.
Cheers,
Tamara
