Investment Q&A

Q: It seems to me the charges against Amaya's Baazov are more akin to tipping and stock manipulation than insider trading, probably even more difficult to prove. However there's a cease trading order on these insiders so wouldn't that affect Baazov's ability to continue with his $21 bid, even if he wanted to? Also how many months might this case drag on before people get their day in court and isn't it likely the stock will mostly mark time till things are resolved?

I wouldn't be in this stock except for 5i but my average cost is <$8 having been in since 2013 and I have taken profits 4 times up to $35 so even though I didn't act on the Feb.29 blog post (actually sold some more @$19) I did act on the CUS reco and am currently +5%, so thanks for that. It's my opinion that we are all personally responsible for our own actions, not someone else! J.

Q: Can you please shed some light on why CXR is down 8% since the call this morning? I thought the call was positive and it helped to break the correlation to Valeant's business issues. What on the call is being interpreted so negatively by the markets? This doesn't impact my decision to hold long term as I got in at a very high price, just trying to educate myself on market moves. Thanks again and again...John C.

Q: I would like to know your advice as to Silver Miners that are producers and have major recoveries of silver discovered on the land they hold, that appear on the TSX. Thanks

Q: What did you think of their latest financial releases for 4th qtr and YE? Thankyou.

Q: I have done well with RDM..the company which provides the technology to scan cheques by phone..It now seems selfie payment is the big trend and whichever company provided this technology is going to do very well..Can you recommend a company to take advantage of this? Although I have my doubts if my payment will be accepted on a bad hairday :)

Q: Intrinsyc Technologies just release Q4 results they were outstanding with significant revenue growth. The Company was fully profitable for the year earning $US0.03 EPS. Many non-profitable tech companies are trading at much higher multiples than ITC. What is your opinion about ITC and do think the company will get some more attention from the street even though they do not need any money.

Q: Hello Peter et al.

What do you make of the earning release today? No movement in the stock price today after the release. Everything is stated to be on track still for Stella's sailaway in May/June with 1st oil prior to 30-Sep. The hedging program they have had has saved them and they still have it for 10K BOED out to Jul 2017. They still have their RBL redetermination slated for April 30 so that is the next catalyst for the stock up or down. They have reduced their debt from 800M to 665M as of Dec 31st, 2015. I guess it is still a show me stock but hopefully will have a jump by year end. Is there anything else that I am missing or should be aware of for this stock in 2016?

Thanks,

Brendan

Q: Hey

Just a question on Phm. I'm holding for the next quarter results to see how things are going but does it not seem to be trading awfully strange. As if it's being held down at these what I perceive to be very low levels? There's been some crazy talk of a potential sale do you think that's a reason it's remainly at such low levels? Finally if you don't mind what do you think of Concordia now. I took first position at 35 last week on drop.

Q: Do you have a current opinion on this stock ? Buy, sell or hold and why ?
Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on Cxr's earning call? Have you noticed any red flags/ or view this company a strong buy. Please also comment on their debt management plans.

Thanks
Febin

Q: I noticed in your question/answer dated Mar 16/16, you talk about the quarter report, but I'm sure you sent me an email saying Mar 21/16 when the quarter report was coming out & CXR on the 23. Question: Could you give me the results for both companies.

Q: NeuLion "before tax" EPS is relatively flat over the past 5 years at $0.01, with their 2015 "after tax" EPS bump coming from a $27.8M "income tax benefit" (Common shares outstanding have grown from ~139M to ~280M since 2011, a 200% increase.) Any idea what this "income tax benefit" is? Will it continue to occur going forward?

Q: is the stock a buy for a growth portfolio

Q: Your thoughts on their results. Ignore if already answered.

Regards,

Robert

Q: Recently read an article in Globeinvestor entitled "It's time to check out the dazzling yields of Canada's big bank preferred shares" a recent offering from them pays a dividend of 5.5% and after 5 years is reset to 4.8% over the 5 year Canadian bond rate. My question is what would the symbol be or how could I purchase this,I trade online and that's the vehicle I would like to purchase them through,appreciate your answer ..thanks

Q: What is your latest view on this company? It is down big time this morning. Does the 22.1 million dollar flow-through equity financing announced today have anything to do with the drop?

Q: BGI.UN seems very illiquid but seems to be in a good sector and has a high yield. Thoughts on that ?

Q: Hello 5i,
My daughter turns 18 next month and we will open a TFSA in her name. Please offer a strategy for us to consider. Her timeline is very long-term, and the focus is growth. Maybe a mix of low-cost ETF's and a few stocks; and a stock like AAPL that appeals to the younger generation and will keep her interested in following the markets and economy. THX.

Q: For a long term hold in a rrsp what would ur preference be. Thks and keep up the good work
