Investment Q&A

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

Q: A follow up question to one earlier today. You say that you would expect a bid of between $18 and $22 for the announced privatization. CBL is only trading at around $16.50 suggesting the market either expects a lower bid (which shareholders would probably not accept) or that there is considerable uncertainty that the privatization bid doesn't happen.
Either way the market does not see this announced potential privatization as credible?? Do you agree and does the company have a history of looking at this without being serious? Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
Given the issues with some world banks, I have decided to hold off buying XLF. Do you think i am overly concerned here? Second, Sienna Senior Living is either stable or goes down a bit where as Chartwell continues to grind a bit higher. Any idea? Lastly, ATD.B has pulled back a bit. Do you see this as a good opportunity? Alternatively, i was simply thinking of increasing my weights on Savaria Corp given the results and forward guidance and Knight Therapeutics as it seems like it is becoming a health care fund with great management. Please advise fo your thoughts. Thanks again.

Q: About Patrick's question on HomeCapital... in case it helps members, I couldn't help but share my experience with investing in GoEasy. It was a wild ride after buying it about a year ago. When the shares hit 17, I sold 1/2. I thought "5i said it's cheap and growing but there must be a problem with the company!". Then, GoEasy, broke-out and shares hit 25.00, a 45% increase from my sell point. It's harder than expected to hold-on to positions that we buy with the *intention* of holding for a long time. However, much more painful than holding a weak stock is to see it recover massively after selling. Since this is not a growth by acquisition story like CXR and VRX, and unlike those, HCG has a 10 years+ history, a non-trader will probably do best by no longer watching the daily ticker/news. Don't do what I did with GoEasy. Wait a year. The 5% buyback should help.

Q: I have opened an in trust investment account for my two children aged 9 and 10. At this time I have $5000 for each. This money is not intended for their education as I a saving for this separately. I would like for this money to sit for them long term and grow. I would like to buy one or two stocks for long term growth and a decent dividend is a bonus. Can you suggest one or two stocks that fit this category. I do plan to add small amounts over time for them.
