Investment Q&A

Q: It is now clear that money laundering has been occurring at some of GC's casinos in BC. In particular at the River Rock casino. The Director of VIP Guest Relations has had her registration revoked by the BC Lottery Corp. GC is being investigated by the RCMP and it appears that GC could suffer other financial penalties. Should this be a concern and should investors be cautious?

Q: Hi, Sylogist stock price took a tumble on Friday, last week. A reasonable guess is large selling by a number of 5i Research members. Considering that it's been a holding in the Balanced Portfolio for many years and until recently, your advice was to be patient with this stock as it still holds growth potential. Also, it was clarified in your update that there was nothing wrong with company. In Nov/2017, company's guidance for 2018 was for Revenue of $36-38 mln and Adj EBITDA of $ 0.80-0.85 per share, which is much higher than 2017 results. CEO also mentioned that these projections did not include any future acquisitions. So, do you think, Friday's drop of 8% creates a buying opportunity ? Thanks

Q: GUD. Is GUD likely to accelerate growth ? Great company, but frustrating, and not using its hoard of cash.

Q: Hi 5i: I currently hold both SIA and CSH, but as part of my stock trimming I am thinking of selling SIA and putting all my eggs into CSH. Does this make sense to you? Thanks for your advice.

Q: Earnings next week, good time to buy in or wait after earnings. Most analyst are positive on the stock with a target range of around 40$.
What is your view now ?
Have a nice family weekend !
Thanks.

Q: After today's vote,I will reluctantly own some mty.Your opinion of mty and perhaps a few better suggestions if I sell.Sector and income are of no consideration.Thanks.

Q: It seems like there has been a significant amount of management selling ... can you please comment

Q: this morning GUD stated that it submitted a new drug for review,Why it dropped sharply today?.Txs for u usual great services & response

Q: I see you have removed SYZ from the balanced portfolio. As a thin trader, would you expect the stock to go down as some/many of your followers will 'rebalance' to match your moves? If it does move down, is this a lesson for subscribers to be careful in investing in recommendations that trade thinly? Of course, it works the other way when a thinly traded stock is first recommended.

Q: Hi 5i
I have been considering buying kbro linen as a portfolio stabilizer with 3% div income.
Your previous comments ant stock price movement indicate stability; to the point of boredom.
Would you please confirm or comment on expectations and below thoughts?

Efficiencies should be increasing with positive effect on margins
New plants will enable growth with increase in capacity
Dominant industry position should enhance contract win potential
Scotland acquisition will add to earnings
Eventually all this should show up in earnings and stock price

As a final Q, sentiment has weakened recently (small volume). Any thoughts on likelihood of negative sentiment will outweigh positive fundamentals whereby drive stock price down through 38 dollar support?

Thanks for your input.
Dave

Q: High five 5i,
I'm down 13% on this stock, should I stick around or just let it go! :)
Would it recover in 2018, that is, up 13%.
God bless you 5i.

Q: What is your firm's view of GUD ?

Q: Would you be able to tell me when CCL.B reports their next Earnings.

Thanks Valter

Q: An update to my Nov 2016 comment. My now 7 year old's RESP CSU shares are comfortably 6 baggers (previously only 4 baggers in Nov 2016). Thanks again and looking forward to my first 10 bagger. Again thanks for the advice to not be afraid to buy a stock that has gone up in price. I've purchased CSU in a number of other accounts since and all are now up a minimum of 100%.

Q: Hi Peter and team - I have read the description of Photon Control's business in TD Waterhouse but am still unsure of exactly what it does. Would you be able to give an easy-to-understand summary of the company. Also could you comment on recent insider buying/selling and overall ownership, as well as provide any reasons that makes this a good buy at this time. Thanks for the excellent service.
Rob

Q: Hello team,
Why the huge decline in ECI ? Would you hold, add, buy or just sell and replace with something else?
Thanks!

Q: I would appreciate your comments on CSU's quarterly results.

Thank you, Peter

Q: Hello, what do you think of ABT financial results just released yesterday? Is your evaluation of the company still positive? Regards, Gervais

Q: Hi Folks,
Would you have any particular issues with CCL.B at this time? At around 56 dollars will it act on it's own or just flop around with the general market?
Thanks once again,
Larry

Q: hello 5i:
wanting to invest in this company, but would like you to comment on the supposed infighting and lawsuits buy company insiders, as per James Telsfer's discussion of 8 January 2018. Have these been resolved? Are there other "issues" occurring with the company?
