Investment Q&A

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

Q: Using low end of guidance @ $2.18 the shares are trading at below 11x P/E. Globeinvestor chart is showing RSI in oversold territory (unless I am reading wrong or using incorrect data - which could be a possibility :)).
The long term debt is still pretty high but if we are to believe mgmt.'s story the shares are cheap. I've been picking away and I'm at half a position with an ACB of around $30. Would you suggest buying the other half position with the share price currently at $23.01 as I am writing this question? Or continue to average in during the tax loss selling season?

Q: I have taken a loss on shares which I own of the Stars Group (TSG) in my US investment account. If I sell these shares, and then immediately buy the Stars Group (TSGI) shares for my Canadian investment account, am I still allowed to deduct my tax loss from my US account? In other words, are the US shares (TSG) and the Canadian shares (TSGI) considered unique for the purpose of tax deduction on a loss? Thank you.

Q: Here is a list of some of my holdings. Most of them are frightening. TOY, GSY, PHO, COV, TSGI and KXS which I just increased to a full position the other day.
RHT, CXR and SINO FOREST. I have seen them go from dollars to pennies and out of these I am very concerned that TSGI -- one morning I will wake up and it will be pennies and when I go to 5i you will be telling us that you will be removing it from the portfolio and selling it. If it will take years for these to recover, should we not put our money somewhere else until that time comes?
Thanks Dennis

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan
I am in the dog house on listed stocks in my registered accounts (RRSP/TFSA/RESP). For TOY and TSGI , I will wait for your review in Q&A section. As part of cleaning up portfolio would you keep these or if not then replace with which stocks? Money requirement and risk is not an issue.

Value your opinion. Thanks

Q: In the conference call the guidance discussed was $2.13-2.68 (although someonelse suggested $2.16-2.71). The analyst estimate from your website shows $2.88 for 2018 and an estimate of $3.24 90 days ago. This seems to be a considerable downward trend although management seemed quite upbeat and insisted there are no structural changes to account for the weakness. Given this context I have two questions. Are there other metrics to suggest management is executing well? Are you comfortable with the potential such that you would take a new position at this price or would you wait for next quarter?

Q: The share prices of both TSGI and NFI have recorded significant declines recently. However, I feel the growth prospects for both companies are solid and, as such, consider this to be a good buying opportunity for a 3-5 year hold. Do you agree and, if so, would you ease in with 1/2 positions at this time or take full positions and simply put them away for a few years?

Q: Hi,
In what order would you choose the listed companies to sell for tax loss harvesting.
And would you hesitate to re-purchase any of these in 30 days?
And would now be a good time to sell them? Or would it be better to wait a week or two.
Thanks,
Mike

Q: Did TSG screw up with their purchase of Sky Betting?

I ask because I wonder if the money would have been better spent partnering with major North American Sport Leagues instead? I can see a future (I hear this is the case with European football) where watching sports becomes more interactive with in-game betting or fantasy sports that is integrated and live as I watch. This could be through an enhanced subscription. How awesome would it be from my television remote to bet how many home runs will be scored in a game, inning, player, etc? With other gaming companies signing exclusive agreements I'm sure such scenarios will be channeled through their gaming products as opposed to The Stars Group.

Q: What were the main factors that drove TSGI's stock price from April to its high in June? And what has now been the main reason for its decline? Has anything fundamentally changed? I see that Poker, its largest revenue source actually declined in comparison to Q3 2017. Is this a big concern, or is most of it's expected growth to come from gaming/betting? Is there hope that when/if most States legalize online gambling that TSGI will earn more much revenue from this?

Q: This morning you noted that TSGI had paid $300 m against debt. I am wondering how you calculated this. I see on the news release that they paid off the $100m on the credit line (after quarter end) and long term debt stands at $5.65B but I don't see mention of $300m? Are they making these payments because they are cash rich or because of some statutory requirement under the lending agreement?

Thanks
Mike
