Q: I saw this news release and would be grateful for an interpretation.
http://investors.algonquinpower.com/File/Index?KeyFile=400290864

If shares are only offered to the public, I suppose that includes institutional investors? Also, I'd be interested to know how the market works in this situation. ie, if supply of shares exceeds demand, will the price keep dropping until they're all sold? It is about 4.6% of their market cap.
I would like to purchase shares and would appreciate guidance on when you would suggest this could be done.
Many thanks.
ps. I very much appreciated your frank article 2 days ago on the financialpost.com

Q: HPQ was slowly working its way higher until it was hit by a ten percent fall last week. the fall occurred, apparently, because of a new director coming in and the decision to cut a number of jobs. I was a bit puzzled by this and wondered about your thoughts on the company. It seems to me that investors often like cuts, as they are meant to produce more money. Yet, here it is a reason for a drop. Perhaps the people don't like the new president? but, you would think that he would have been well known by this time. Perhaps they think that the new policy of cuts from a new president may be reckless and its efficacy is uncertain? I have been thinking of opening a position in the hope it will soon recover that ten percent it lost. I don't want to have this stock as part of my permanent portfolio but simpy as a trade. are there any cautionary remarks you might make on this strategy?
thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on Nutrien? I have seen it recently recommended by a few as an entry point for a recovery with a dividend. I have never invested in this company but have thought about it and have always been happy I did not invest in it as it has dissapointed.

Q: There was a recent reverse head and shoulder pattern along with two days of higher share volume than the ten day average. I will be adding shares if the share price climbs above $34.50. Also, I will be adding to my share count ( that was a full position before the recent pull back) and will be for a long term hold.
Your thoughts.

Q: In response to an earlier question you indicated that Horizons would be converting HXS and other ETF's to a corporate structure because of federal government action. Would this new structure be suitable for an RRSP? I am looking for a Canadian ETF invested in US equities for a registered account where I do not lose the withholding tax and also like Horizon products thus far. Thanks.

Q: I would like to add to my position on this, but am concerned about the valuation.
According to Morningstar, consensus forward P/E is 17.67.
BUT, the TTM earnings are $2.24 per share. If the forward P/E is correct, the forward earnings would have to be north of $5 per share, which doesn't seem to me to be realistic.
What do you think is the forward P/E? If it is over 20, I would likely look elsewhere.

Q: Air Canada has demonstrated very good EPS growth and ROE for some time. Their stock has had a modest pullback, August through September, but seems to be gaining momentum again. Air Canada has the 2nd largest fleet of Max 737 in the world. Why wouldn't the grounding and route cancellations affect results. Q1 and Q2 results beat estimates. Q3 results, typically the largest reporting period, is due October 29. Do you think it will affect Q3 results? Would you take position now or wait until after October 29.
