Investment Q&A

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

Q: I sold BDI at a sizable loss years ago and fully appreciate how extremely cyclical this companies earnings are, for good or bad. Waiting patiently for an opportunity to catch a high beta cyclical upswing in the companies earnings. Can you advice as to how to approach this investment thesis? Start building a position now even thought its early or wait till there is clearly an upswing in earnings while trying to avoid false starts? I cant help but think that after years of terrible government policy there is blood in the streets now.

Q: Do you ever cover any non-listed corps involved in Real Estate, or offer any opinions on pre-construction Real Estate (Commencial and Residential ) opportunites?

There are many "private" construction deals available but there are very few tools to help the average Joe separate the wheat from the chaff?

Q: In the answer to question asked by Richard you state that the 2019 EPS for SIS 2019 is 83 cents.
The company recently announced an estimate of $60M earnings for 2019 with less tha $50M shares outstanding, which is obviously a higher EPS than your est. Is this because the company is referring to EBITDA and you are referring to net earnings?
When we are shown the forward EPS on Morningstar etc..., are they referring to EBITDA or net earnings? Is it really only net earnings that matter? Please explain.
Thanks
John
