Q: Good Afternoon,
I am adding several positions to my portfolio. I have narrowed it down by using your reports/comments etc. . Some of the reports are dated, would like to know if you still consider these names a buy at today's level, or any other more favoured names in these sectors. Also wondering if you would recommend staggering purchases or waiting for a market pullback, realizing that some of these names are high.
All would be additions to a diversified portfolio and considered to be long term holds. Thanks for the assistance. Lavern

Q: Patient Home Monitoring announced they will hold a conference call on Aug 24th to review the Qtr results and update the market (not shareholders) on plans for 2016 and beyond. Participants will be the CEO and CSO. No mention of the new CFO they announced on June 29th. What's your read on why they wouldn't take this opportunity to formerly introduce the CFO to the market? Do you think this is because the results may be okay and the forward strategy is what they want the market to focus on?

Q: The current trading price of QHR at 3.10 appears to be quite a bit below the valuation calculated by dividing the offer of 170m by the outstanding shares. I get a value of 3.25 which seems worth waiting for. Do you agree? Thanks

Q: I would appreciate your suggestions in what to do with this stock. Are my options selling or acquiring Loblaw stock or is acquiring Loblaw stock an option? If I sell I will have a nice capital gain which I will have to declare as I hold it in a non registered account. If I were to acquire Loblaw stock and then sell Loblaw in a few months does a capital gain apply? Thank You.
