Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, with reference to a previous question, Spin Master's website is very much up and running. https://www.spinmaster.com

In fact, I had a chance to review consumers' comments as well as Spin Master replies on their facebook page. Looks like, most issues revolve around users unable to follow instructions, as specified. There were also a number of comments from users who were finally able to operate the toy after following recommended you tube video.

It appears that the highly interactive nature of the toy got many by surprise.

On a side note, one of the popular Interactive version of Barbie doll (Mattel) also faced issues with error messages.

I was able to add to my position, taking advantage of drop in share price, yesterday.

Q: This is a quote from Ryan's piece on DH.

"The reduction adds $85.5 million worth of additional cash flows. DH plans to spend 45% to 50% on share repurchases and 40% to 45% toward debt repayment.

Why would a company that has a debt problem buy back shares? Is this basically a way to line management's pockets?

Q: Good morning,

I have been following BDI for a while. I know that they have raised money for a price higher than the current stock price. Also, they have serious debt to take care off and have cut their dividend twice already. Last Monday, they introduced a Drip program for dividend payout. Is this good news or bad news? Explain to me what the drip program will do the share price and how it will affect the current shareholders?

Thank, you

Paul

Q: Hi,

In the technology sector I definitely have enough CSU, and enough ENGH and OTC. I also own GIB.A and SHOP. I have been wanting to buy KXS, but am wondering with 5 technology positions already owned does it make sense to add KXS? Will I be over diversified if I add KXS?

Q: Good morning Peter, I purchased PUR in early August based on your company report and have watched it steadily decline 21% since. I know you continue to recommend this as a growth stock with risk, while stressing the need for a long term hold. It seems I've got the risk side covered, so my question is whether you have changed your position about the growth potential. I can wait on this stock and will hang in there if warranted. What are your thoughts? As always, I appreciate your invaluable advice.
