Q: I hold SIS and also disappointed, but I did purchase at $5.72 so I will watch for now. PLC announced an offering: Park Lawn Corporation Announces $125 Million Bought Deal Offering and Successful Completion of Cress Funeral Service Acquisition. Stock down 6.75%, is this an opportunity to purchase PCL at a discount?
Thanks

Q: There's lots of recent news on Onesoft Solutions. New contracts , earnings , and initial coverage report from Beacon Securities with a sizeable upside target price.
The stock has performed well hitting 52 week highs over the last few months and seems like there's traction for growth ...
Would you kindly you give me your overall opinion please ?
Thanks

Q: In February of each year, iShares attributes a significant amount of Non-Cash Re-Investment of Capital Gains for the previous year for holders of CEW. For tax year 2018, it was about $0.533 per unit (roughly 4.3% of unit value). This increases my average cost, so when I sell it in my cash account, my capital gain is reduced (or loss is increased) an equivalent amount. I don't mind this too much in a taxable account.
1. However, If CEW is held in a registered account or a TFSA, am I correct in believing this non-cash reinvestment offers no advantage whatsoever?
2. Why don't these ETFs simply issue a cash distribution? That would benefit owners irrespective of which type of account the units are held in.

Q: What are your thoughts on the bought deal private placement of 5M shares? If this was a less common occurrence it would be acceptable but SIS just raised money last year. On both occasions they wait for the share price to get to around $15/$16 and they decide to raise money and drive the share price down. They have set a ceiling on the share price and everytime it gets momentum they send it falling back down to earth. It seems to me that they raise the dividend to drive up the share price only to dilute our shares to get more money. If you need money why raise the dividend 20%, why not keep it the same or slight raise to save money and stop diluting and let the share price go above $16. I've liked mgmt but I'm starting to lose confidence in their decisions around growth. They have just ensured that the share price will fall to $14 tomorrow and stay in that range for months to come. Same as last year. Sorry, frustrated with the recurring dilution. Thanks

Q: Follow-up on my earlier post today relevant to a possible reason for COVALON's 10% jump in stock price: The Zacks report a COV director sent to investors this morning (as an email attachment) is dated: March 18, 2019, and was authored by Brian Marckx, CFA, with Zacks Small Cap Research. While there may be an old Zacks report out there, this one appears to be new.
