Investment Q&A

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

Q: I got lucky and sold 1/2 my position in Fission (FCU) around $1.60. Have been watching it come down and am considering picking up some more. I don't see any bad news (just lack of news and a dropping uranium price). Am I missing something, i feel this is a fabulous future mine which will be bought out by one of the big players. I don't see how uranium can't be a good investment looking out a couple years. Thanks

Q: Linamar is up 12% today on good earnings. It received a sell downgrade recently from a Canaccord Genuity analyst very recently. My question is when an analyst make such poor calls, is there any consequence for him or her. Do they get fired? How should retail investors react to these upgrades and downgrades. Can we be sure they are not manipulating a stock?

Also who is behind Seeking Alpha,giving out all kinds of free information on stocks when we know that nothing in this world is free. Thank you very much for your comments.

Q: Just wondering Peter why your appearance on BNN would affect the response to questions. Does Ryan Modesto not also reply to questions? By the way it was a very good Market Call segment on BNN! Are you the only one of the 5iResearch Team that replies to questions?

Thamks for the unique service you provide.

Q: CGX
I hold Cineplex in my RRSP. I don't quite understand why the stock is down so much based on its recent quarterly report. Report doesn't look bad to me but perhaps I'm missing something. I like the yield on this stock and don't mind holding it for the long term but don't want to get caught in a long term yield trap. Should I be concerned with its lagtest quarterly report?

Q: Find below your last take on Yellow Media. Any updated view, or endorsement coming?
Yellow made $1.51 per share in the last quarter, and analysts estiimate more than $4.70 per share in 2014, so it is a very low P/E ratio, but not quite as low as RBC indicates. 2013 estimates for the full year when reported are above $6. We have not liked the company much, but need to give it some credit. Online revenue has grown, and was $101 mm in the last quarter. Total revenue is still falling fast, however, with print essentially set to disappear over time. Y still has $600 million in debt, even after eliminating more than $1 bb in debt in its restructuring. As a highly-leveraged, high-risk recovery play it has some merit for aggressive investors. But we cannot endorse it just yet.

Q: Hello Peter & Team, what did you think of the Redknee (RKN) quarter just reported? Can we annualize the 5 cent quarterly eps and deduct 20 cents as the annual eps running rate (implying a 23 x PE ratio? What do you make of valuation? Many thanks, Keith

Q: This is not a question about AVO! (however I did buy some today).

I have some more questions on SWC.U.

May I have your thoughts on the latest quarterly report - any danger signs there? How do you interpret the drop in management expenses? Are the grades and reserves OK?

What does it mean when a stock symbol ends with ".U"? What is a "diluted share"?

Is this stock highly speculative? I would need to reduce an overweigh position in LIF to purchase SWC.U. Does that make sense? (I wouldn't be comfortable with a weighting purchase greater than 2%.)

I know I have asked alot of questions so I don't expect an immediate answer.

I have just made a donation to your charity event and I encourage other members to do so. Bicycling in the mountains eh... One of the few events (stocks) where riding it to the bottom is more fun than the climb to the top - unless you blow a tire - so slow down!

Q: PLZ Plazacorp. It has been almost 6 months since you commented on Plazacorp, and given that interest-sensitive stocks/units have come somewhat back into vogue in that time, is Plazacorp a solid, long-term investment today? Thank you as always...
