Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter, read your article on March break strategies in FP. I will be spending April in Europe. YTD I did very well with some Canadian companies such as AC, VRX, Magna, but especially in the US biotech sector. What should I do? Go to cash? Put in stop-loss orders? Or just monitor the market from Italy - I can trade over the internet, of course.Thanks for your advice.

Q: I purchased this at the same time as A&W and both have dropped substantially since purchase.
I would appreciate your review of the financials of RPI. and is the reason due to recent distributions made or are they connected to Market swings.
I am wondering if I should be selling or do you consider this holding appropriate.
Thanks for your advice

Q: Hi team, Do you know why the halt? Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter and Co.
Have you taken a look at the earnings yet? Rev. was 5.2 million and earnings 0.06 per share. Rev. growth was 26% and earnings were down year-over-year because of one time costs. What were expectations and what do you think of the earnings?
Thanks,
Michael

Q: Hi Team,

Can you give me your outlook on QST and SUM. I hold SUM in my TFSA at about a 7% position, and QST in my registered account at about a 2% position. Haven't seen much movement as of late on either one.

Thanks,
Jordan

Q: Over the past month ADN is up ~ 11 % while WEF is down ~25%. ADN has a PE of only 6.6 Vs. 12.4 for WEF, ADN has a PB of 1.1 vs 1.9 for WEF and finally ADN has a slightly higher yield of 5.4% vs 4.2% (based on TMX data). I have a very small position (<1% total portfolio) and wondering at this point would you favour adding to WEF or selling WEF and buying ADN. I do not want to own both as I already have too many stocks.
Appreciate your excellent service.
Steve

Q: Wondering if you have any comments on 5N Plus as potential growth stock. They seem to have been growing steadily and well over the last few years although not a large company comparatively.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff:

You have probably already aware of Amaya response below. You may or may not wish to publish however I was wondering what would be a good entry point here, if I was to leverage down

"Amaya comments on media report regarding Italian operation (cnw)
MONTREAL, March 11, 2015 /CNW/ - Amaya Inc. ("Amaya" or the "Corporation") (TSX: AYA) today provided clarification to a media report regarding a tax dispute involving the Italian operations of PokerStars.
The tax dispute relates to operations of PokerStars dating from before the acquisition of the company by Amaya in August, 2014. The merger agreement related to that transaction provides remedies to address certain income tax and other liabilities that might occur post-closing but stemming from operations prior to the date of acquisition, including monies held in escrow as initial sources for indemnification. The current tax dispute is something Amaya was aware of prior to the transaction. Amaya does not anticipate that these tax issues would apply to future fiscal periods. The company's operations continue as usual on www.pokerstars.it and it remains focused on delivering the most popular online"

Thanks again for your great advice.
