Q: Alaris reported Q4 results yesterday and they were mixed. Although they recently increased the dividend by 9%, and reported increased revenues in Q4, distributable csh flow was down significantly. They give reasons for that, but I am left wondering how genuine they are. Are you worried about the reduced cash flow or are you ok with their explanation? i have a full position and a nice profit in it, but i am wondering if I should reduce my holding. Is it a buy, hold or should I reduce my position?

Q: Do you see anything in the news report that could be considered fradulant or managment reporting anything improperly that could cause lawsuits (this will be for sure) and the stock to fall further? Maybe regulatory issues? Looking to possibly exit if there is further downside and risk to the company or hold, but I'm assuming this company will be the penalty box for awhile so there is opportunity cost while I can invest in other higher quality companies. Thanks!

Q: Recently we have seen many blue chip stocks that had done really well pull back.

Companies like RBC, TD, BN, SHOP, MFC, CNR, CP, JPM, GOOG, MSFT, BRK, and others…

What are your favourite five Canadian and US large cap names that have pulled back recently? Would you be a buyer today or would you wait until the market settles a little?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Hello Team,
I saw and read with some apprehension the news as well as the questions asked by members and your answers earlier. Does it not justify the short seller's comments that were published about a few months ago and send GSY also in a tail spin? It had something to do with under reporting some automotive losses, if I remember correctly. In that case would you think it could even get worse and it may be time to take one's losses and leave a sinking ship?
Thanks,
Adel

Q: Comments on Goeasy pre-release adjustments to its loan portfolio, higher charge off rates etc. To me the amounts regarding car loan seemed manageable but then they are ending the share buy back program and cutting the dividend so management oblivious is taking very drastic action. Is this still investable? Would you take loss now or wait it out ? If improvements occur in 2027 as management forecasts how long do you think before stock recovers to say $125?

Q: Hi team,
Capstone has seen good momentum and a return of 125% over the last 18 months.However since I've purchased it a month ago,it is down over 25%.Thinking of dollar cost averaging,but waiting for the present volatility to abade.What signals would you be looking for before making a decision to add more.I am looking at a one to two year hold on this one.
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: Here's a pure speculative question. I hold NTR and NNRG. Their short term future prospects are, of course, partially tied to the middle east war.

I know it is tough to compare a single stock to an ETF, but what kind of upside do you see each having over the next year or so? I plan on trimming one or both to fund adding to another asset class at some point.

Thanks.....Steve
