Investment Q&A

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

Q: The decision to buy a stock is made easier with your simple A,B,C,D scoring system and I really appreciate that. My questions is: Will 5i report, or make note of, when a good time to sell comes up for a previously high-scored company? If so what would be your indication - a downgrade to the previous score or should I be looking for something else?

thanks!
James

Q: What is your opinion of the current market situation. Are companies like Silver Wheaten and Barrick bargains at this point or do you think that they will continue to drop?

Q: Golden Minerals (AUM) dropped 18% today with no apparent news. The commodity markets are passing through a tough period but don't you think a drop of 18% is too much. Do these kind of drops have some big insiders unloading before the news becomes public? Is there something inherently wrong with the company as I do not see a catalyst except weak earnings which were already discounted into the price?

Q: Any Thoughts on Sandstorm Metals and Energy (SND)? i believe they should do well long term due to the management's past experiences. the company has had one or two hicups with regard to Royal Coal's bankruptcy, however, they are debt free and sitting on close to 40Million in cash and also they are currently trading below guaranteed cash flow, however, their is the risk of their other companies not meeting their targets. overall, i see more upside at current prices especially if ones time horizon is 5 years or more. how would you grade SND, and if you could kill two birds with one stone, then take a look at SSL also, the big sister.

Q: What is your take on Richard Morrison's FP article on the weekend that takes the position that analysts' reports are no longer as biased as they once were, given the IDA's policy 11 (which I understand is meant to keep the investment bankers from influencing the analysts)?

Q: Hi

Excellent service. RMX is not requiring funding, hires Lalonde away from Goldcorp, will shortly have a mine at the end of 2013 and today releases some fantastic drill intercepts again. Any suggestions as to why? I understand that they are in the between stage between explorer and producer but other companies would react much more substantially if they issued drill results like those of today. Your thoughts would be appreciated

Regards,

Arturo

Q: Hi, I am a new member. Does 5i introduce / time coverage on a new stock (i.e. A+ to C+ grade range), if and when the share price is relatively inexpensive or is it merely the market price in and around the time of the report issue? Example - does the $17.45 Price/Share in the newly issued May 9 stock report on MTY Food Group reflect a value price point to purchase shares? It is important to know how your coverage system works before I purchase shares. Thanks.

Q: Re: Insider buying (an odd question) Can you think of any other plausible explanation for insider buying (especially CEO, CFO, Board Member) than that the buyer is signalling that the shares purchased are attractively priced relative to future business prospects?

e.g. Skippen's recent purchases of WIN shares....

Q: I have a question about Wi-Lan

Hi Peter, regarding your response to Jim on May 10, wouldn't it be reasonable then to lower Wi-Lan's rating from A now or would you prefer to wait and see for the next few quarters? Thanks.
