Investment Q&A

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

Q: What's up with WSP? It held up quite well since March but after
issuing some financing a little while ago it slipped back and seems to be languishing, even during the run up prior to Thursday. What was the financing for? Was it a prudent time to do that? There had been some mention of a merger with a US entity; was the financing related to that and is that going ahead? And last, where do you see this equity going from here. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I wonder if you can point to an article or other guidance on what key metrics to look at and how to interpret them for a stock. Being relatively new, I tend to look mostly at profitability and revenue growth on a go/no-go basis when looking at a company in the absence of other info (ie 5i recommendations). Using REAL as an example, total after tax profitability is only 9% and 3 yr revenue growth is a tepid 8% and falling from a 5yr rate of 17%. These numbers are underwhelming compared to other co's, so I must be missing something with a company like REAL, and would like to learn how to see a little deeper.
