Investment Q&A

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

Q: A fact that should help strengthen your confidence in HomeCapital management. Look at the LinkedIn profile of a new board member: Brenda Eprile. She has 12 years at the Ontario Securities Commission as Executive Director. Then, 11 years at PriceWaterHouse (partner). Certainly, she is a top choice for the board of a company involved in non-prime lending. I would also add that someone with a profile like this is careful with career moves, wouldn't want to end her career being associated with a fraudulent financial. She must have done some homework before joining.

Q: What are your thoughts on the bear report? Seems to me they are making some compelling arguments. The loan loss provisions are extremely low when you would think they would be higher considering sub prime clients. Also, the deposits are 80% GICs... if there was something that spooked them they could see capital drying up. Let me know your thoughts on those two comments. Thanks

Q: It seems that every time Home Capital starts to move up a little there's another short attack to push it back down. I know you rate it quite highly, but is there really a future upside? I've held it for 2 or 3 years now, and am getting tired of waiting.

Is it better to replace it with another name? I already own FSZ, BNS and TD in financials. Thanks

Q: The guest on BNN Market Call Tonight - John Kim - mentioned on the show that DH is planning some kind of a media event for the public to go over DH's fin tech business. This is supposed to give this business more clarity and transparency on its operations.

If true, can you tell us more about this "event", in terms of timing and content? I think, if the company can cast a positive light on this business, this maybe the much needed catalyst to pull the DH share price from its recent death spiral.

Thanks.
