Investment Q&A

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

Q: I noticed Sylogist has a strange looking chart where there is a distinct upward trend from early October. You can almost draw a support line from the lows of about $6. It also hit a new 52 week high today. I'm not sure if this is significant from a technical analysis point of view, or if your team even thinks technicals are worth looking at. Any comments?

Q: I do my investing online so do not have an advisor. There is a notice for Amaya stock owners to see if we want to join the class action suit. I only own 100 shares so not much at risk, but do you recommend to join it, or since I still own the stock, to not join it.

Q: Thanks for your answer. Please Note that the RDM reports in US dollars so $37 million is the conversion cash amount to your US$28 million. Are the earnings multiplies you quote adjusted for the fact that RDM's stock trades in $C and they reports earnings in $US?

Q: RDM's stock price hit I believe a 8-year this morning. How much higher could this stock go if you factor in a take over or acquisition given the Company has about C$37 million in cash and no debt?

Q: PBH has gone up a lot in the last 2 months. I'm now seeing a forward P/E of 23.5.

At what point would you say that a company looks good but the stock is too expensive to buy at the current time?

I currently have ATD.B weighted at 5.77%. Would you advise selling a half position in ATD.B to buy a half position in PBH?

Q: Hello team,

I have a question which may turn to a suggestion. You have just released a report on this company, which is generally positive for a long-term investor. I wanted to ask what you know about the management of this company. Have you seen them? What do you think of them? How much skin do they have in the game?

And with that, what do you think of having a section on Management in your coverage report? Like who they are? what is their background, past experience, education, etc? Have you met them or not and what is your overall impression of them? I think a section of this kind would add more value to your coverage report. I don't think I am the only one who believes more often than not it is the management that makes or breaks a company. I don't want to invest in a company which you (5i) do not have a good impression of. And if you put this information in the report, members would not have to email you and ask you the same.

Thank you as always 5i.

Q: I am relatively new at handling my own portfolio and am cautious by nature.
My Peller shares are up 60% since I bought them and I have seen no media coverage
which would explain this. Would you think this might be a good time to take my profit, or are you aware of any reason I might want to hang on?

Q: Hi Guys,

Would you purchase Winpak at todays price of $49.46? It is trading with a PE above 24.

I know it is a good company, but is now the time to buy or should I wait for a POSSIBLE reduction in price.

Thanks
John

Q: Would a switch from Trimac TMA to Gamehost GM make any sense? - are they equally risky? Or should one hold either? Thanks Jim
