Q: Hello Peter,
Loads of insider buying in this company by directors and a foreign holding firm (would not try to pronounce the name of the firm). Think a buyout is in the works?

Q: This has been very lonely stand up stock in my portfolio. Rather unusual for it to be as it trades thinly at points. Now I can see a reason for it in it's recent purchase of Healthmark. I can't recall when the last time was that it bought something. Do you think this might represent a change in corporate thinking? What does the purchase mean to your thinking on RPI and how significant do you think it is for the company?
I am looking to sell some shares. Hopefully at higher prices?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I noticed after looking through the Ink Insider Report for WSP that there are two very deep pocketed 10% + holders of the shares:
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board- 17,524,815 shares held
Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec- 15,699,525 shares held
Total shares outstanding look to be 90 million. It appears that both pension funds take their quarterly dividends in shares as opposed to cash which dilutes the other shareholders over the long term. On one hand WSP will likely never fail due to the deep pocketed backstop of the two pension plans but on the other hand the CPP Investment Board received 148,810 shares in July in lieu of cash. I guess WSP can grow faster if it is able to redeploy the cash that it would have had to pay out to CPP (and the Caisse). I would like your take on this issue. Thank you for your sage insights. DL

Q: Hello Peter,
I bought this stock at near all time high and thus down quite substantially while holding for a fairly long period now with nothing to show for it.
Your downgrade reflects the risk even if the growth is attractive. For a new investor in the stock the rating is appropriate. But for an existing shareholder here is the dilemma. If I sell, I have the tax loss (which I cannot use now maybe sometime in future) as the only positive. On the other hand, given the steep fall, there could be a nice rebound and therefore an above average return from this point on. What would you suggest? Would I be making the classical mistake of being in love with my loser if I held on? Or should I switch to one of KXS, PEO, QHR, TC in the growth portfolio?

Q: It was noted in many articles that the DGE in New Jersey conducted a very thorough investigation of the Pokerstars acquisition prior to the approval being made:
http://www.pocketfives.com/articles/new-jersey-dge-doing-comprehensive-review-amaya-s-pokerstars-purchase-591396/
I would think this would alleviate most concerns regarding the AMF investigation. The DGE was also able to complete it on a timely basis; how long do you think AMF can drag this out before reaching their own conclusion?

Q: Greetings: Would the NJ gaming commission's review have included any investigation into the insider trading issue: the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement found Amaya’s PokerStars brand to be under "strong, ethical and trusted ownership and management" ... Do the words trusted and ethical ownership and management only apply to past business practices, apart from any illegal stock trading allegations? Thank you.

Q: Good Morning Team. Great news about Amaya. I have done very very well in the past (thanks to your guidance) with shaving my AYA holdings (first bought at $6.50) and able to buy another good stock and pay off some bills. I only hold 2.5% at the moment. I have some cash in my TFSA for an opportunity. Could this be it? Or would you suggest slower is better in this case with AYA? Thanks again for all you guys do for us including calming our nerves!!!
