Investment Q&A

Q: I have held MKP for years. It has dropped in recent days in sympathy with HCG. Since it is a similar company, could it have similar issues? I also note that the dividend has risen to over 8%, another reason for concern? What action would you recommend for a holder of MKP at this time?

Q: Just wanted to make a correction to a reply you gave to a previous question on EFN. You mentioned that the small company facing the lawsuit is Clarion. As you can see from the extract below, it's actually Celadon Group Inc.

Keep up the great work.

NEW YORK, April 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Celadon Group Inc. (NYSE:CGI) who purchased shares between December 30, 2016 and April 18, 2017. The action, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.

In particular, the complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) CGI's equity contribution to its joint venture with Element Financial Corp. was $68.2 million, rather than the $100 million contribution the Company reported in its public filings; (ii) the Company is being actively investigated by the SEC; and (iii) that as a result of the foregoing, CGI's publicly disseminated financial statements were materially false and misleading.

Shareholders have until June 19, 2017 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.

Q: Do you know how much CXIs earnings might be tied to vacation travel in the US? If one believes that the “Trump effect” will significantly reduce tourism in the US, how might it impact their earnings? Also do you know when they are scheduled to report and what are the consensus estimates (if they have any analyst coverage)?

Q: Just a clarification on TFSA. If I had run up my TFSA to 200K and this year I cashed out, next year I could put back in the 200K I had withdrawn plus the 2018 contribution , is that correct. thanks, Jean

Q: I think it's time that I put some money back into emerging markets. Currently my only holdings (other than ADR's held on International stocks thru New York) is my investment in ZDI. All in, these current investments represent less than 3.5% of my equity portfolio. So my two part question is as follows: 1) what rough percentage would you recommend for international holdings in total (tough question I know), and 2) please give me your opinion on the relative merits/demerits of VEE vs ZEM (on a line chart they track almost identically in terms of performance, so I'm wondering if there's something "under the hood" in either of them that might be important for my decision)? Many thanks.
