Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter; CXI sold a block of insider shares ( 159,000) to a institutional entity. Obviously because of the thin trading history - but would this indicate that somtime they will have to do a equity issue to put some liquidity in the stock. Do you have any idea who the buyer might be? Thanks.Rod

Q: I just read your report on Winpak. At present I hold a 5% weighting in CCL.B in my cash account. How much does WPK and CCL.B overlap in the type of business they do?

While I have no plan to sell my CCL.B, would a half position in WPK in addition to CCL.B make any sense? I am a long-term investor with a diversified balance among my holdings/groups that I am comfortable with at the present time. I do have some cash that needs to move away from the sidelines.

Q: Hello 5i: I am slowly building the Model Growth portfolio. I now own AVO, DHX.B, EFN, and GUD. I have enough money to add either 3 small positions or 2 full positions. Can you help me decide which stocks to pick next.

I will then probably add 2 per month until portfolio is complete. I realize this is a tough question because it should be viewed as a portfolio, but unfortunately I must go according to cash available. Thanks for all the good work you do.

Q: the price of AFN just keeps falling. Do you think this is overdone or is there some fundamental reason for it. Thanks.

Q: I have held CAE for a couple of years and while is has gone up, it is does not appear to be set for any kind of dynamic growth. It has been particularly frustrating because it appears that it should - well capitalized, good backlog, growing area, unique technology among other advantages.

Would you consider switching this for MDA? I don't want to give up on CAE too early and there is nothing wrong with 10%+ growth annually but I am wondering if MDA could offer the same but within a "growthier" storyline.

Appreciate the insight.

Q: HI,

I bought a small stakee in ACQ(1 %) (after having sold it ata good profit) just in time for it to decline 42 %.I would almost need ACQ to double from here to break even. I am think that either of XTC or GC is more likely to double sooner.
Would selling ACQ and buying XTC with the proceeds be a good idea? I own Amaya (5%) and Magna (1.5%). Or should I just top up ACQ ?

Thanks in advance

Q: Mr. Hodson, any obvious reason for Constellation Software weakness ? Just preparing itself for better jumping, or general weakness for bigger caps companies ?

Q: JUST A COMMENT, from Stockhouse
http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard/t.aya/amaya-gaming-group-inc?postid=23851570
think about your strategies
This stock has been range bound for a year. When it gains traction, the incessant attack from the Globe pulls it down again. When do you think the inevitable break out occurs? With Bwin, US entry and sportbetting all around the corner and the Casino roll out. With delivery over and over again by Baasov and a hedge fund in at 30 to 34. Do you want to miss the rocket launch? You won't ever get in at the price you sell. Period.

Mr. Hodson, would you care to comment on the above ?
