Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Petr:

You recommended FSZ last week on BNN. I'm having trouble interpreting its P/E ratio of 165. I presume you are using something else instead of earnings as a comparator. Could you explain?

Q: Good morning! (assuming you don't see this until Monday AM). I am interested in participating in discussions about valuing stocks, perhaps something similar to the CMS Share Clubs but online. In my ideal world, these would have a focus on Canadian Equities. I would be curious if you know of anything like this online where there is an honest exchange of information (as opposed to the seemingly usual pump or dump posts on many forums). I would be more than willing to do some homework, and submit an analytic overview if others could do the same for other stocks, or for the same stock using alternative methods, or ... ?
By the way, I really appreciate your site!
Thanks!

Q: Hi, regarding CEF.A, recently the share price has been 5% below NAV. I recall several months ago it was pretty much at NAV. For a fund like this that basically tracks the price of gold/silver (in theory), is my thinking correct that it may be better to purchase the fund than actually purchasing the bullion? This also avoids transaction costs and delivery charges. The fund seems to be audited; do you see this as a prudent strategy when the fund is trading below NAV based on market fear?

Q: Hi Peter and team

In a recent globe article on stock analysis (June 26th page B18), Long Run Exploration (LRE) was shown as having some pretty good metrics: low price to cash flow, high growth, good recycle ratio, high reserve replacement ratio. In a subsequent investigation (reading their investor presentation) it looked like it was selling at about half of NAV. Despite this it is in a long decline. What do you think of them?

Thanks

Ross

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
With gold and silver prices steadily falling I have been looking at the big streaming companies (Franco Nevada- FNV-T and Silver Wheaton- SLW-T). In the shorter term they will suffer from low selling prices but on the flip side they are likely to see wonderful opportunities in this environment to negotiate advantageous streaming deals with financially stressed producers. I would appreciate your opinion of this line of thinking. Thank you. DL
