There is constant IT security breaches and talk about IT security which is mostly what Absolute Software does. One would assume that spending by small and big firms is constantly going up in this area to ensure not security issues arise. I see ABT stock continues to drop to all time lows in this environment. Is this an issues with Absolute's product not being adopted by firms e.g. do they have a good product mix? Just wondering is this a stock you see will recover at some point in the next few years? Is it a possible takeover target?

Further to my question about AltaGas Thursday morning, is it fair to say ALA is being unfairly punished? The yield is at 9 %, forward estimates suggest growth and profitability etc. What is your take? Time to get greedy with this one?
Q: If their first drug, plasminogen gets approval along with a pediatric voucher where do you see the share price. Is it odd that the share price presently is abysmal dropping 30% in a month with the decision due by the FDA no later than mid April. Lastly would you expect a lot of institutional buying for a good run after approval as the risk of the company being viable will be alleviated.

Q: The EPS of Altagas for 3/18 is shown on your "companies" chart at .38, whereas you had stated to Jason on Mar 1 re his question on ALA results that the EPS was in line at .36, wouldn't that be a miss? The EPS for ALA for the next quarter (6/18) is shown as .14, why the big drop, is the falling cdn$ and rising interest rates going to cause any problem for ALA carriage of debt?
Q: Hi 5i,
I have a pretty balanced RRSP with these stocks and FUND. I am only up with the FUND and BEP.UN. I have about $10, 000 to add to the mix. Should I buy in to any of the losing stocks, add a new one or wait and see . Possibly ranking the "losers" might help me.
Many thanks. I enjoy the Q & A daily.
Great coverage.
Cheers
Paul
Q: Hi,
I would like to own amazon. Do you think it will be negatively affected by nafta / potential trade issues? With the volatility in the markets I am thinking about putting in a stink bid before going away on holiday for a couple weeks. I have enough enough money for 4 shares. I was thinking about a bid for 2 shares at around $1350 and a second bid around $1200. Does this sound reasonable? different numbers? Bad idea?
Thanks
Kerri
