Investment Q&A

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

Q: As you know, GLN has accepted to be acquired by BCE. My understanding is that GLN may (at their option) receive $26.50 cash for their shares.

Currently, GLN is trading at around $25.20, a 5% discount, which is much lower than I would have expected given the (presumably) low probability of the deal falling through (unless a third party offers even more, which would be even better for GLN shareholders).

Assuming the deal closes in a few months, this respresents a tremendous annualized return rate for a seemingly low-risk investment. What am I missing? Why aren't short-term investors jumping in at this opportunity.

Q: Hello Peter and team,

In regards to the deal between THI and BKW:

THI shares sit at 95.49 CAD and BKW shares sit at 34.24 USD as of 30 mins ago.

How come you wouldn't take the 3.0879 shares per each THI share under these circumstances? Would that not mean THI shares are equivalent to $105.73 USD?

Thank you,

Wes

Q: Good Morning 5i team, need your help

My portfolio allocation for AYA has increased from 2% to a little over 9%. I have tried to trim this back but every day i see increasing returns and continue finding positive article after positive article regarding forward looking prospects.

I am going to follow your lead and do as you recommend regarding whether I should sit as is or trim back to a smaller portfolio allocation % for this company.

As always, thanks for everything you do. My prescription will be coming due early next year and you can look forward to me eager renewal.
