Investment Q&A

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

Q: I just received a letter from lonestar about a special meeting to vote on changing the year end Which is okay. l noticed they are also proposing a stock option plan up to 10% of the floats. I like the idea of employees owning shares but is 10% a reasonable percentage. I would have thought 5% would be more reasonable. What is normal, reasonable while balancing incentives for employees while not watering down the # of shares.
I want to echo another reader concern. I write in very in frequently but may have multiple questions at that time.

Q: MDF - Mediagriff is the parent company of InterTrade Systems which just announced a deal with Bare Necessities. I trust this is a positive. I have a part position in MDF presently and wonder if this would warrant adding more? The stock has not been exciting to date.

Insiders of MDF were buying a week before the news. I find that somewhat suspect. They also bought more a couple of days after.

Thank you

Q: Can I get your opinion on jfs.un I have recently taken huge gain off the table and I'm sitting with quite a bit of cash here. Everyone on tv keeps saying that there is still a way to go with this stock market but I also remembering hearing this in 2007 and 1999 and we both know what followed those years. Now I'm not saying that the stock market is about to crash, but JF's track record in a downturn is pretty good. Just looking for some feedback, thanks.

Q: How does LOY's earnings announcement today impact your view on it as an investment, taking account that its share price has moved up today already? Also, might the announcement last week that the CEO is not accepting additional options granted to him by LOY have been the result of feedback from large investors that the number of options that were being granted to him was excessive, especially considering the general weakness in the share price to that point?

Q: Hi Peter,
Will the announcement today from MCAN Mortgage (MKP) be overall neutral (or better) from a revenue point of view, and if so does the drop in price provide a chance to add to current holdings at a good price. Present holdings are 3.4% of overall portfolio, held in a RIF and TFSA.
