Q: Do you think the proposed nomination of the new directors gets approved by share holders ?
If so, could the new board replace Mr. Goodman.
Can you elaborate as to what is most likely to happen in the next few months ?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: So sorry, I asked this question yesterday but got the stock ticker wrong! It's not Winpak that I am interested in, it is Winmark on the nasdaq code
I'm thinking of investing in this company. Considering the slow down in the economy, consumer high debt in Canada and possible upcoming recession, I think this is one of the few consumer discretionary companies that might not be too affected. Your thoughts on this company, please. They are consignment stores.Many thanks for your great service! Jen

Q: My allocation in the consumer category is at its maximum. Would a swap of NFI for GIL make sense?

Q: I hold SIS and also disappointed, but I did purchase at $5.72 so I will watch for now. PLC announced an offering: Park Lawn Corporation Announces $125 Million Bought Deal Offering and Successful Completion of Cress Funeral Service Acquisition. Stock down 6.75%, is this an opportunity to purchase PCL at a discount?

Q: I would like to know if there is any "hanky panky" going on with
SIS and Dejardins. SIS got upgraded by Dejardins from $16 to $17.50 on an earnings miss which made the stock go up over $15. Now Dejardins are the underwriters
of this deal. Also does this type of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"
happen often in the markets?

Q: QST reported quarterly and annual numbers this morning. What is your take? Annual was strong but quarter seemed to lag a bit. Key is the future. Does their 7-10 million 2019 Capex bode well? Would you be a buyer now?

Q: Medison(7.3% shareholder) is nominating 6 (qualified members per co) plus its CEO(existing director) to the board of GUD(total 7 seats).Maybe this will result in positive price action for long suffering investors who bought in the $10 range.Your comment please.Thanks for u usual great services & views

Q: In February of each year, iShares attributes a significant amount of Non-Cash Re-Investment of Capital Gains for the previous year for holders of CEW. For tax year 2018, it was about $0.533 per unit (roughly 4.3% of unit value). This increases my average cost, so when I sell it in my cash account, my capital gain is reduced (or loss is increased) an equivalent amount. I don't mind this too much in a taxable account.
1. However, If CEW is held in a registered account or a TFSA, am I correct in believing this non-cash reinvestment offers no advantage whatsoever?
2. Why don't these ETFs simply issue a cash distribution? That would benefit owners irrespective of which type of account the units are held in.

Q: What are your thoughts on the bought deal private placement of 5M shares? If this was a less common occurrence it would be acceptable but SIS just raised money last year. On both occasions they wait for the share price to get to around $15/$16 and they decide to raise money and drive the share price down. They have set a ceiling on the share price and everytime it gets momentum they send it falling back down to earth. It seems to me that they raise the dividend to drive up the share price only to dilute our shares to get more money. If you need money why raise the dividend 20%, why not keep it the same or slight raise to save money and stop diluting and let the share price go above $16. I've liked mgmt but I'm starting to lose confidence in their decisions around growth. They have just ensured that the share price will fall to $14 tomorrow and stay in that range for months to come. Same as last year. Sorry, frustrated with the recurring dilution. Thanks

Q: Follow-up on my earlier post today relevant to a possible reason for COVALON's 10% jump in stock price: The Zacks report a COV director sent to investors this morning (as an email attachment) is dated: March 18, 2019, and was authored by Brian Marckx, CFA, with Zacks Small Cap Research. While there may be an old Zacks report out there, this one appears to be new.
