Q: I wonder if you can comment on the latest earnings report from Savaria. It would seem to warrant a more positive share price reaction.

Q: Hi, I bought a lot of LRE.to in the past couple month between the price of $1 to $1.3. I am currently worried that this company may not be able to survive through oil price recovery. I also worried if I sell it now, the stock may go up huge if the oil price goes up. Should I sell it and change to a similar oil company but with less debt and safer to survive the low oil price? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Q: Looks like after over a two year wait I finally got my wish. Starbucks has announced a 2:1 stock split. Currently their dividend is 0.32 per quarter. Is it safe to assume that after the split the dividend will only be 0.16 considering that there will be double the shares? I see nothing to indicate that I should sell any of my shares going forward and I am thinking I should continue to hold for another 4-7 years. Compiling all my accounts Starbucks is a 5.86% of everything that I have invested. What are your thoughts on Starbucks going forward

Thanks

Q: To ad to your reply to Thomas: TPK has recently been operating in a near perfect scenario. Revenue mainly in US $, many costs in Canadian $. They should be blowing the doors off. If not now, then when?

On a positive note, I notice that Tim Hortons is currently running TV ads in TO promoting TPK's Swiss Water Process. No idea if TPK is funding any of the ads.

Might want to hold for a few more months to see if the stock gets some more lift.

Q: I own CCT on the tsx - will the price continue to fluctuate based on exchange rate until the deal is closed, and therefore, if C$ continues to slide, it is better to hold for now and look at selling if there seems to be some strength coming back in the C$ ?

Q: As do some of the other members I own some Catamaran (wish I had more). I am wondering if you have had time to consider any good candidates worthy of analysis to replace it?
Many thanks

Q: After experiencing healthy gains in Patient Home Monitoring, I read through the entire Convalo Health website to learn about their company. Their plans has some good potential but seems to rely heavily on new insurance-paid therapies. If the Republicans win the next election and skewer Obama's healthcare plan, will this significantly affect Convalo's business model? Second, they presently have one location where they have increased sales from $80K to $300K and around $5M in cash. I assume they will have to do a "healthy" raise to grow similar to PHM.
Your analysis would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I hold CCT and would make 50% in 7 months if I sold now; but what about the challenges by a couple of Law firms?

Q: what good cash vehicles would you recommend that are liquid and available in discount brokerage trading accounts.I currently have a large cash position as I have zero weighting in financials and oil and gas and don't expect to deploy these funds for 6 months or more.
Reading the questions there seems to be much discussion of $65.00 oil,with the reserve increases that I am monitoring,$35.00 oil seems a more realistic target.What are your thoughts?

Q: The last question on DDC was Nov 13/13, at which time you called it an OK - type of company. It appears since then to have changed for the better. Certainly it is doing better than most of its peers. Thru my bank acct I have access to Value Engine analysis of DDC. According to them DDC's fair market value is $37. So I'm thinking this may be a good buy. I'm not sure how to interpret their balance sheet, however There is no line that says "debt" - just a comparison of Assets to Liabilities; which to my untrained eyes looks pretty good(assets=3x liabilities).So what are the debt issues, if any with this company? Are there any other red flags I should be aware of? Lastly, how do view DDC today.
Thankyou----I really enjoy your service.

Q: I currently have broker accounts with TD Waterhouse & ITrade.
Can I get your thoughts on QuestTrade. Who are they / who owns them? With TD & ITrade I know I can get help by walking into a branch but strictly online seems a bit riskier.

Thank you as always.
Craig
