Q: SYZ continues to drop - is there something "wrong"? Is it time to bail (ie. "stop loss") and buy something whose stock is increasing such as SHOP? Selling low (SYZ) and buying high(SHOP)is often not a good strategy unless the low is going lower and the high is going higher. Your thoughts on doing this trade.
Q: Hi,
When I look at AIF on the TSX website, it lists the stock in the technology sector. Would you count them towards your technology or real estate sector allocation?
Q: I realize this company (GSE Systems, GVP-US) may not be covered by you in the normal course of events but it was mentioned by a BNN analyst and sounded very interesting. Do you know anything about it?
Q: I own both of these companies, through BMO INvestorLine. Keep getting messages to act upon something. I am of the opinion that failure to make an election will result in a cash payment under the arrangement to be paid in Canadian Funds (which I want). Timing 1 to 3 weeks for payment. Does this seem to be correct or do I really have to Make an election?
Q: This company seems to fly under the radar. Is this something I should be looking at as another REIT? I think it is now listed as stus.a-v. Recommended by a friend for income. What do you think?
Q: Pls. provide the details of JE's new pref share offering. Is there a reset minimum; over what base i.e. 5 yr. Canada or; are there any unusual wrinkles?
Also what is your opinion of the offering and the effect of resulting debt reduction on the Company?
Thank you, Hugh
Just wanted to know your thoughts about EMH and active investing. We all know that fees are a huge drag on performance; but interestingly, an old Globe article by George Athanassakos argues institutional factors like hugging the index are the main factor for underperformance.
Would there be an advantage in returns (not including fees or commissions) with following a disciplined 100k model portfolio versus investing 100k in a traditional 300mil fund with the same holdings? I suppose inflows and outflows would be a major factor as well.
Q: Hi ,if you can clarify a scenario
- Using the finaning done by CVM.v as an example . They raised $12 million at .33 with a 1/2 warrant (full warrant exercise price .70 for 18 months)
The share price was at around .45 yesterday and gapped up to the .55 area today
What are the most likley reasons the share price goes up on this news?
Is it possible they drive it up to short (covering with their .33 cent shares) or is it just a positive reaction to funding
Thanks and excuse any ignorance
David
