Q: On the news "Element issues US$1.2 billion of rated ABS term notes through Chesapeake" the stock has dropped 38% (and halted)

CIBC just reiterated their $15 target price and said it is a buy and deal is good.

Would retail investors be selling out here? Am looking at buying here - dividend is now coming close to 5%

Also can you explain the use of the ABS term notes for the fleet management business. Thank You.

Q: Question related to the new preferred share offering: ECN.PR.C which yields at the very minimum 6.25%.

Deal was sold out and as soon as it started trading the share price dropped below the $25 issue price and is now below $24.

Why would anyone buy the issue at $25 and sell it right after. Any ideas?

Also, would you recommend adding to it below $24. I have 700 shares which represents around 1.2% of my portfolio.

Thank You.

Q: Are we seeing yet another short attack here?
Looks like they had a very positive announcement with the ABS notes just yesterday and now the stock is getting decimated. Why do these short attacks keep happening in Canada is there anything we can do about it. HCG, CRH, BAD, I'm sure there are others that I can't recall. Its getting tough to be a Canadian small/midcap investor.

Q: Hello Team, I have around 10% of my TFSA money in CPG which has de-valued by 30% since buying. My question is should I consider selling, reducing or continue holding the position? The stock seems to depreciate much more than other energy stocks. I fail to understand the rapid slide down in price. Even in last year, when crude was around $30, the price of the stock was much higher than the present one. Any other news in the offing which I am missing? Thank you for all valuable suggestions that you have given me so far!

Q: Can you provide some data points around dividend "growers" companies and if not available dividend companies in general. Current P/E forward looking vs. historic average and ranges. Just wanting to get an idea on how much higher than the average these stocks are currently compared to historic levels, how overvalued they "may" be to help assess downside risk. Thanks!
