Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I recently purchased more shares of GS for my husbands RRSP during it's recent pullback at $28.46 as all the research I have done indicates that it is a good stable company with good growth, dividend and the potential for additonal special dividends or take. I was pleasantly surprised to see the bounce it today to $31.66 on the reported news that they were acquring another firm. I would like your opinion on this acquisition and would you continue to hold this stock? I know you like to hold for the long term but a 11% return in 11 days is tempting unless you see further upside.
Thanks for all the sound advice you provide.

Q: Gluskin Sheff + Associates Inc.(TSE:GS)

GS has been under tremendous selling pressure for the last 5 days, and the graph seems to have gone below all 20/50/200 days Moving Averages. And yet there seems to be no adverse news. Can you advise if there is any concern here, or we should cut losses?

Q: Good Morning,

An observation on Gluskin Sheff (GS). The stock is up almost 10% in less than a week, as far as I can discern on no news. Are there takeover rumours circulating?

Q: The company's press release shows the ex-dividend date as Feb 18. The stock had a drop today as if the ex-div date was today, Feb 13. The WSJ quotes shows ex-div date as Feb 13. So maybe some people thought the ex-div date was today and sold. I bought 450 shares today hoping to get the special dividend on Feb 18. I hope I am right. Keeping my fingers grossed. What do you think is happening?

Q: Hi,

How would you rate GS in your stock universe and what do you think about buying it at the current level. Do you think the quarterly earnings they had are sustainable and how much would they be making in the current and the next year. Do you still think it is has a takeover potential even at this high price.

Q: Gluskin Sheff (GS)has had a great run and now appears to be giving back a bit of its earlier price increase. Is this a normal retracement? Is there rumour or pending news? Do you see this as a buying opportunity?
I look forward to your insightful response.

Q: Hi Peter,

Correct me if I am wrong, One way to judge a stock is to see the return on equity as the equity holders will receive a dividend after all the debt and prefereed shareholders are paid. NOw gs.to has a return on assets 49% and return on equity 93%. would this company be a great buy.

Thanks
Paul

Q: GS
What do you think of the recent increase in stock price. In the last 3 months I have made a nice 10% profit with the special dividend issued in September, should I exit now or is this a long term hold.

Q: GS Gluskin and Scheff.

Does this week's developments (owners selling their shares) alter your opinion of GS as a worthy candidate for one's portfolio? If no, what would you replace it with? If yes, would you back up a small truck and buy more shares?

Thank you for your help; and I hope this finds you enjoying your time in Europe and picking up some new and useful ideas.

Q: I have a position in Gluskin Sheff (GS). Does today's announcement of the cleaning up of the ownership structure increase the chances of the sale of GS or is it more likely that that Mr Gluskin & Mr Sheff just want to reduce their positions? Thanks, Tim.
