Investment Q&A

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

Q: I just noticed that Enghouse is to be included in the TSX Composite Index and the Dividend index. (I think those are the correct terms)

First, what exactly are these indexes? Does getting listed on these say anything about the company itself? What are the criteria for getting put there?

I know that this can result in an increase in buying/selling as various indexes and funds buy the stock to fulfil mandates. What I don't know is how valuable or important it is to the company and/or investors. Does it speak to financial strength, ability to get loans or raise capital or is it just the result of a mathematical calculation?

Thanks for the insight.

Q: Hi there,

Any ideas as to what Goldcorp may be doing with all the raised as of late, and the money raised with the sale of Tahoe? Just paying down debt? Are there any companies on their radar? If so, which ones would be logical fits with their plans in your experience?

Thanks,

Arturo

Q: Hi 5i,
I have received this "Daily Bull & Bear Report June 15, 2015" from TD Direct Trading.
"Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc CPH (TSX)
Head and Shoulders Top -
Trading closed at $10.92 to confirm a Long-Term Bearish Head and Shoulders Top pattern
Tells Me: The price seems to have reached the end of a period of "distribution" at the top of a major uptrend; the break down through support signals a reversal... more details
Bearish Event - 83% move possible"
Their target price range is "$1.00 - $2.75"
Is this bleak forecast realistic?, should we have "fire sale"
Thanks,
Morris

Q: Hi 5i: With respect to the question asked by Dennis about AVO buybacks: I recall reading quite recently a statement by AVO to the effect that the AVO board figured that their shares were undervalued, and that they therefore planned to support their shareholders by doing a series of buybacks. In other words, they have been up-front about their motivations.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I noticed this morning that, according to AVO's most recent Ink Insider Report, 563,400 shares have been repurchased at an average price of about $17.50 so far since May 14, 2015. Avigilon raised $100 million back in April, 2014 at $29 per share. Aside from alienating those people who purchased shares at $29 do you think it makes sense for a company in hyper-growth mode to use their cash to buy back stock when the company is not generating any free cash flow on an operating basis ??? (using data from TD Direct Investing) Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, DL

Q: Having only recently added Amaya to my portfolio, The G & M article this weekend was more than coincidental. Can I assume that today's 5% drop was a result of the negative features in the article. Are you still moderately or aggressively bullish on this company?

Q: Can we get your thoughts on the latest Globe and Mail article on the Amaya investigation? I've noticed that the G&M seems to have a constant barrage of negative articles on Amaya.

Does the AMF have to report the results of their investigation at a certain date or could this drag on for years?

Q: My 5% position has fallen to 3% with G's decline. I'm considering topping it up to 5% again or taking a position in another gold company. G is my only gold company, and miner for that matter. One concern is the talk of rate hikes looming and golds getting hit further. Your opinion please?

Q: I am looking at adding CPH to my portfolio. Would you suggest starting with a half position in todays market? Also I am wondering how to interpret the company's goals. For example, they are targeting $1biln cap by 2020. Based on the current number of shares (26million) that is a stock price of almost $40. Is this what management is suggesting here?
