Investment Q&A

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

Q: Enghouse's recent announcement of the new "President", has him starting immediately, without any explanation as to a departing "President". Is it correct to assume there was no prior President of the Company, and in the past the CEO and President role were both held by Stephen Sadler, or is this a vacancy that is getting filled? Why would there not be a better explanation in the press release, this could be construed as a negative?

Q: Hello:back In the 1990’s the tsx and the Dow were just about even. Today there is about a 10000 point difference. In general terms, can you explain why this has occurred. Also I have read in several articles that the tsx usually lags the Dow by about six months to a year. (Either up or down). Do you agree with this statement. If yes will the tsx begin to narrow the gap in the next few years?

Q: Hello Peter,

1) Your thoughts on Midas Gold. I was thinking of purchasing some based on the possibility of the Idaho Project going ahead. Is it viable at 1300$ Gold
2) Your thoughts on New York City disposing of Energy Infrastructure. Seems like everybody is down on Oil and Gas. I'm thinking this is a start of a trend to move away from the energy companies engaged in Oil and Gas. And will it negatively affect oil and gas.

Q: Hi Team
For my spouse’s RRSP
Between Glaxosmithkline (GSK) and Bayer AG (BAYRY) which is the better investment to accompany Royal Phillips NV. (PHG)
Within a household is it ok to own similar securities between partners and accounts or is it more prudent to hold different companies for maximum diversification and some downturn protection. I own JNJ, NVO and GUD.
Thank-you in advance, Sam

Q: Hi team - Happy New Year!
I'm interested in investing in the bioplastics sector because I'm thinking alternatives to plastics that are made out of natural ingredients and plants that are completely compostable and just as effective (if not more) and durable, and similar in cost, as many conventional plastics that are made out of petrochemicals, will be a growing industry (already growing rapidly in the EU).
I have found a publicly listed company on the Venture in GDNP that's a microcap and they make many bioplastic products. Can you tell me your thoughts on this company. I know its not profitable, but revenues have been increasing and they're predicting they will increase by 50% this year. I'm fully aware of how speculative such a small company like this is, but as a highly speculative play where it would make up a small position in a growth portfolio, what do you guys think? And do they have any major competitors or dominant players already in this industry that I'm not aware of? And if so, would you recommend purchasing one of these major companies (assuming they're publicly listed) instead of GDNP?
Hope you're having a great weekend!
Cheers,
