Q: Aside from the obvious demographic appeal of increasing demand for Savaria's products for aging persons with disabilities, it strikes me that as seniors have increasing need for cash flow in later years, they will turn more and more to reverse mortgages. This will lock them in as long as they can live in the financed home. That said, faced with disabilities that might otherwise force them to leave their home, purchasing Savaria's products will be the only solution. Do you agree? Do analysts understand this market force?

Q: Hi Team!

When does GC next report and what is expected vs prior quarter ie Q4 2018 vs Q4 2019. Also can you supply the same numbers for fiscal year 2018 vs expected 2019?
From the charts, they have basically been in a downtrend since March 2019 and leveling off around the $40 mark the last 3-6 months. I have read prior Q&A and it seems like they may not get back to an upswing until 2021...also supported by your Company page Financials wrt Fy1 12/19 vs Fy2 12/20 EPS numbers.
Can I interpret from this that this may be dead money until then and perhaps it may be better to invest in a company that offers a better upwards trajectory and revisit this stock at a later time? Or should one look further ahead and accumulate at these low prices anticipating better returns as they finish up some projects?
They do seem to have some pretty impressive financial numbers (ROE) and past growth numbers (from your Companies page). Not sure if these have changed given 2019 performance, or lack thereof.
I have held this stock for about 1.5 years.

Cheers,
Steve (in Ottawa)

Q: If LSPD has beat earnings expectations, do you attribute the share price weakness to the fact they raised their potential share offering up to 1 billion dollars? Is this a dilution fear that's causing the share weakness? If so... is the market wanting LSPD to grow organically as opposed to offering shares for aquisitions and such? Not sure what investors expect here?

Q: Hi 5I,

I need some clarification on your view of Syz. On Jan 29 a question from Rod on Syz top up yielded a "hold" response, and same type of question asked by Pierre on Jan 28 yielded a cryptic "fine" response. I too am looking at adding to my position (within target %) and came across an article in today's Globe stating CEO bought over $300k of shares in January. It would be great if your answer could delve into the potential of adding too/holding this company for 5+ years.

Thanks,
Chris M.
