Investment Q&A

Q: So now it makes sense why it crashed with no "news" I mean no news for us, but the promoters of the stock, new well in advance of all the inside maneuvers and took their profits , while dumb money are .. well dump money. Pretty much all health care stocks have been a disaster: PHM, CXR, PLI, CRH. The only way to make money on this type of stocks is to be early and leave once everybody is talking about them.

The above is a question asked by a member of this site for Reliq. if the above is true, why would you recommend to members that RHT is still worth buying. Please explain. Photon keeps bouncing to $2.30 level. Do you think it is worth adding to a full position and any idea why Spotify is surging everyday. Is Spotify a potential Netflix (in terms price appreciation). Lastly with the senate vote, i would have expected a surge in cannabis stocks, but they actually fell a bit. Thanks for your input, and appreciate your ongoing advice.

Q: Could you help me understand the reason that DOL is interested in buying back shares while also proposing a 3:1 stock split. Isn’t that counter-productive?

Q: Did the Senate PASS the Recreational Weed Bill? Why is there NO mention of it in the Media...............Even CNBC was talking about it yesterday, but today = NOTHING!

Q: Can you comment on Saputo's latest earnings announcement ? I have been a longtime
shareholder and have watched the shares stagnate for years. Is it time to move on to
something better ? Joe

Q: Many moons ago I had bought Azarga Uranium's predecessor before it tanked and became Azarga! I had hoped it would have been taken over by a Big player like Cameco. This didn't happen. This is before Fukushima disaster I think. It is now worth 18-35 cents a share. (52 week range)
They announced their ? merger with URZ an energy company. Worth buying AZZ or URZ? I am fully aware that this is completely a speculative buy!
Taking a small position is NOT going to impact on my overall portfolio positions and my retirement. I am fully aware that this is not a strategy that you generally recommend! However I pose this question b/c "out west" ( aka Vancouver exchange) ) some of the companies seem to go through sudden surges when they assume new identity! I had witnessed this during dot com bubble!!
Many thanks.

Q: Does Reliq have direct competitors and how difficult would it be for another company to design a similar business?

Q: I am intrigued with Alcanna. However, Scotia has EPS expectations of only 15cents for F2019 leaving it's current forward PE at above 60. It also have negative cash flow which means they are funding the dividend by debt. What are your expectations? Is the valuation pricing in growth from renos and cannabis past F2019. I can't seem to convince myself that holding this through 2019 is worth it especially at this valuation. Please give me your thoughts and provide buy-side analysis. Thanks.

Q: "MKSI" share price dropped more than 7% yesterday, what happened? Shall I hold or sale my position? Is "MKSI" a leader in the sector? or what is their ranking in the sector? Who is holding a leadership role? What is your view to the company's future? Is this a expensive stock?

Thanks,
Lin

Q: Hello Folks:
My only health care stock is a 7% weighting of JNJ. I am considering adding UNH... would you think this prudent with this stock’s PE at 23%. What is your view on JNJ; would it be reasonable to fund a UNH purchase by selling some JNJ or would you use other money?
Thanks again for your “most valuable service”!

Q: Would you add to a position here give the weakness. Looks like backlog continues to build but the stock seems to be struggling here at bit. Time to add?

Q: Both TOY and NFI have been drifting downward after reaching highs earlier this year. I sold 1/2 positions of both when they were near $60. Would you feel comfortable adding to both at this time to bring weightings back to full positions?
Thanks for your advice

Q: I see the earnings as rather disappointing, but even so PE was around 25. Is the dividend boost what holding the stock up?

Q: in the last week market call 2 senior managers who had CVS as top pick see it lose value stuck by it as top picks with conviction. I don't own any pharma other than Pfizer and like to buy a half position.know itsU.S but guess you will have an opinion

that it still has some growth in the share value.

Paul

Q: Hi guys, love the service thanks!
Looking at a long term hold of 15-20 years , growth and dividend , but not really risky. I suspect all 3 are good, do you have a particular favourite? Or perhaps a better recomendation?
Thanks again!
