Investment Q&A

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

Q: Further to the Dutch auction, I am trying to figure out the affect this auction may have on the current and future stock price. When exactly does the company buy the stock? Do they do one big purchase on Apr 15 or buy daily along the way? Will the stock stay between $34 - $38 during the auction period or if the stock goes above $38 does the company end the auction? Finally, by putting a purchase price with a ceiling of $38 is the company saying that is what they think the stock is worth?

Apprecitate your insight.

Q: Can you please comment on Fiera's latest quarter and prospects going forward? It seems to have some momentum. Would you swap this out for BNS or any other financial?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Fiera Capital reported this morning and the numbers looked fairly good, at least to me. I have the company in my wife's RRSP account, primarily for its 4% plus dividend yield and future dividend growth. They seem to be growing their AUM quite nicely in difficult markets. Finally the valuation seems inexpensive compared to other Canadian asset managers. I would like your take on the above. Thank you as always for your sage insights. (PS- I just purchased the book "Market Masters" and I thoroughly enjoyed the section devoted to 5i Founder and CEO Peter Hodson. Great interview and wonderful book. I highly recommend it to other 5i subscribers)

Q: This will interest other members holding $GSY. It's not short sellers. I'm told that some employees sold about 2M dollars of shares now that the "buying/selling window" is opened, but a fund picked them up within 30 minutes at $18. Also 4 insiders have bought the stock recently at 19.50 in the public market.

Q: Any particular reason why GSY is doing a nosedive this week?
Most or all of this category is up lately. Their volume today far exceeds daily averages & I can't see any reason for the recent drop. Thank you.

Q: Airboss (BOS) is taking a beating today. Is this simply normal volatility for a company of this size for news of not meeting forecasts/estimates?

Q: For someone who is looking to get some more small/mid exposure in their portfolio, how do you feel about a switch of CGX for BOS at these levels? Besides the portfolio reason stated, main rationale is that CGX looks a little pricey and BOS looks like a good value. Also want to stay in the Consumer Disc. space with this change to keep balanced.

Q: Can you help describe for us how a sitting CEO, also be involved with buying that company? Doesn't the CEO have privileged information that most other shareholders don't and also isn't there a conflict of interest to float a potential offer as it can artificially manipulate the short term stock price? It's very confusing to me that he can do this without undue influence.

Q: Hi,

Are you concerned that large Cdn tech companies are only able to how earnings through acquisitions? CSU's organic growth over the last 3 quarters is essentially flat. Why aren't they able to grow their existing businesses? Do you expect organic growth to return when the macro economic environment improves?

Thank you,
Jason
