Q: GIB.A, I know you like this company highly. My research shows: huge debt.,very low ROE,121% > MRQ in revenue but -71% in EPS & no dividend. It went down a bit on the Obomacare problem-I hoping a bigger collapse but his starting to rebound. What am I missing in my analysis-oh trading at a huge premium to EPS-in other words very expensive. Make me feel better about this one so I can pull the trigger.

Q: With respect to Betty's question below on CGI, I think this sell off is simply because of the increased scrutiny CGI will be facing due to the poor roll out of Obamacare?? Recent article today in the Globe about it. This story does not seem to be going away any time soon, and rightfully or wrongfully, CGI's name will be run through the mud, both for the site STILL crashing, and the huge cost of the program. Obamacare will obviously be debated heavily over the next 3 months... referances to the poor roll out will be made by everyone, and CGI will be the one tied to it. Personally? I think it's just a good opportunity for those not it, to get in, but I'm a shareholder so take that with a grain of salt. Just my 2 cents.

Q: Re GIB.A: is this an example of noise from sell side analysts?

"Deutsche Bank downgraded CGI Group to Sell saying the company's aggressive accounting has driven much of the reported margin improvement. The firm says CGI's top line growth is weak and lowered its price target for shares to $24 from $32." (Sept.3)

What I don't understand is: why not just say the outlook for the company is poor or shares are overvalued rather than smear the company's accountants? Any thoughts? J.

Q: CGI Group (GIB.A) has recently had its accounting questioned by Veritias research of Toronto. According to a recent article in the Globe and Mail the analysts there are of the opinion that the recent logica acquistion in the UK is being used imaginatively by the accountants at CGI to artificially inflate future earnings at the company. Nothing illegal is suggested but its rather dubious if true. Any comments?

Q: hi 5i'
can you expand on gib.a's homeland security contract benefits, besides financial of course? do you know what the contracts are about. do they mean more great spying on US citizens and probably canadian citizens? that sounds great if that is the case, but are they going to do even more? perhaps more renditions, and sending those "terrorist" types off to cuba prisons with no trial. wouldn't that be fantastic. please tell me more!
