Investment Q&A

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

Q: I sensed that when I looked at the DH results, it was kind of soft (as confirmed by you in the earlier answer). Also, the dumping leading to the day of the release is a strong sign the market will react negatively. All have since come true.

Of course. based on the opening actions, I also sensed that the "shorts" could be at work to milk their last cent out of this stock. Hence the big dive and the big volumes at the opening bell.

Based on your experience watching market actions, am I right about this? Or I'm just a paranoid small retail investor grasping for answers?

If I'm right hopeful that would get rid of the volatility grapping this stock for the last while (with the departure of the shorts) and normal trading would resume.

Q: DH just released its 2016 Q1 results. It looks good to me but nowadays companies are evaluated on a quarter by quarter basis against the mysterious "expectations" by the market, which seldom care about anything long term. Good results are not necessarily rewarded with pops in share price, but bad results will definitely be punished.

With that said, how do you interpret the DH first quarter? I'm somewhat disappointed that there is no dividend increase since it's been set at $0.32 for a long time. Thanks.

Q: In an transaction to-day DH was sold inadvertently instead of DSG. Since something had to be sold, would you think it is preferable to hold the DSG and let the DH be gone or sell the DSG and repurchase the DH. Commissions are negligible and there is no capital loss involved and an accompanying sale (capital loss) covers any capital gains.

Q: My tech holdings are 17% of my portfolio, which is a lot higher than your latest recommendation. They include: CSU, DH, ESL, ET, MDA. Should I lighten up or is this ok for a senior who doesn't need current funds? I'd be willing to part with any of them except CSU. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
I found the "Five from 5i" extremely interesting today but in reading about Blockchain I couldn't help but think immediately about DH and what impact such a technology and process might have on them. From your far more informed perspective, would you see DH as an adopter and still be able to survive or would Blockchain provide serious competition. I couldn't quite glean from the article to what extent the concept is, or would be, proprietary. That would make a significant difference for companies such as DH, I assume, should Blockchain gain traction and become an industry standard. Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated. And, yes, I hold DH - currently about 0.25% underweight my target.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Do you think it would be safe to add to my position in DH Corp. If they have a decent report after the market closes on Feb.23
I took a half position after the stock was hit with the big short from a hedge fund back in the fall (2015)and was waiting to see their report before adding any more.
Thank you for your advice on this question

Q: You have previously discussed allocating higher weightings to particular companies with strong growth prospects, a strategy which I like to employ in my own portfolio (i.e. I am comfortable holding as much as 20% of my portfolio in a single name). I have favoured FSV and XTC for the past few years, and have seen great results. I am looking to take profits and bring those two positions down from around 35% of my portfolio to 20% (10 each). Currently DH looks like an attractive candidate for an overweight position of 15%. Is this a company you would be comfortable overweighting heavily? Or are there other companies you would prefer at the moment (maybe 1-2 others)? Risk tolerance wise, I am looking for aggressive growth, and can hold for as long as 5-10 years.
Thanks
Alex

Q: Picked up a half position (300 shares) once the dividend hit 4%. I plan to hold for a few years. Hopefully I made a good decision. Would you put DH in with the financial or technology category? Also, knowing how they have re-invented themselves from a sleepy cheque printing company, how would you categorize the risk from apple pay type competition to DH corp? Or would DH corp be a beneficiary of this movement?
