Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, I like this company for several reasons: Packaging industry, consistent and rising dividends, strong management team and good insider ownership. I thought of starting a position 12-18 months ago when stock was trading around $15, but held back based on your opinion/concerns about company's large debt position.Since then stock price has steadily appreciated to present $28 level and company has increased dividends and continues to pay down debt to 1X as at December 31, 2016, as per quarterly results released on Friday. I have a large holding of CCL Industries and would like to add another packaging co. There does not appear to be much analyst coverage on Richard's Packaging and it would be extremely helpful if you could share your views and is it worthwhile to start accumulating at current level for growth and income ? Thanks

Q: I see on Friday a US Law Firm announced its investigating whether the offer for Span-America was "fair" for Span shareholders. I find this confusing. Isn't this usually instigated by an Investment Bank or large shareholder? What can be unfair about an offer to buy shares? If you don't want to sell, then don't tender. Do you see this causing the offer to rise? Could there be anything illegal about this offer?

Q: I own 100 shares of MDA, purchased at 80.95. Down by 15K now. I am supportive of the stock and appreciate the dividend they pay. My shares are in an RSP. My question is this: I am trying to decide if I should buy more. Everyone says "buy on dips" and at the same time everyone says "don't double down on a losing stock". How do I figure out if this is a good stock that I would be buying on a dip, or if I should avoid buying more and maybe even sell it? I have looked at the fundamentals but am stuck. Thanks very much again, Marilyn

Q: I am starting to lose patience with STN. I have owned it for 2 1/2 years and am up a grand total of 2% (plus dividend). It seems to have been in a trading range since Nov 2013. Is it time to move onto something else? They report on May 11th: should I wait for the earnings report and if not satisfied then sell (or just sell now since my patience is wearing out)?

p.s. I own WSP and have done very well with it.

Q: Hi, are there consensus numbers for Spin Master earnings next week? I'm curious to see if the consensus numbers are lower for the Q1 to reflect a likely higher-than-normal return rate, which as you said before would likely show up in Q1. Or do you think everyone is just looking past this now with the recent positive new product and corporate announcements. My guess is that they will show a double amount of return rate (I was interested to see that if you look at their past financials, there is usually about 5% or so allocated to this anyways, so just a fact of life for electronic toys I think), which will have a measurable impact on the Q earnings but not a large impact.
