Investment Q&A

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

Q: Reko has just announced another profitable quarter. Revenues jumped significantly and outlook appears strong. 

During the quarter, the company re-purchased 35,800 shares under the normal
course issuer bid.

During the previous quarter, the company re-purchased 29,700 shares under the normal course issuer bid.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, a total of 238,800 shares were purchased and cancelled.

On December 2, 2021, Reko paid out a special cash dividend of $0.25 per share.

The balance sheet is pristine with close to $4 in working capital and a “hard” book value approaching $8(no goodwill on the B/S and real estate at cost).

Would you consider Reko to be a buy at these levels and what would you see as the potential outcome for minority shareholders (family controls 2/3 of the shares).

Q: Paul asked today about the men/women investing performance. This is a good article which talks about a 5.2 million person, 10-year study which showed women average about 0.4% better than men annually, and the reasons were less frequent trading and not trying to time the market.

Q: The company increased its dividend from 1 to 3 cents ( semi-annual) and its drill count. The year end numbers were good. I listened to the conference call and they said that they is a big demand for drills and they can get better pricing. Africa is not looking so bad a place to do business and the CEO was quite upbeat. This one looks promising for long term hold.

Q: Watching these two companies putting in new 52 week lows today. I know that the financial sector is out of favour but when I consider the growth rate of these two names I am wanting to purchase them. AFRM just stated it will exceed 3rd quarter and y/e outlooks. Could you give update and thoughts on these. Relative to growth are they expensive?

Q: I have been looking at recommendations in the questions and have picked the companies listed above to look into.
Without considering sector diversification, would you say each of these individually are strong companies to invest in, or would you separate these into different tiers?
In what order would you take a position in these stocks if you were to invest today? (e.g. may want to wait until prices for growth stocks like TIXT/TSU stabilize)
Also please provide suggested entry prices for each.

Q: Hi 5i
We don't have any Canadian tech companies but lots of AAPL, GOOGL and NVDA. With current pullback, SHOP and XIT are down a lot (70% and 40% off highs) but CSU only about 15%. Would you buy CSU or XIT?
Thanks,
Greg
