Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your updated report on Knight Therapeutics gives six A+ ratings and one A. Did you arrive at an A- overall rating due to management risk concerning CEO Goodman's possible health issues? With the present management team, is there eventually a possibility that his departure, for whatever reason, would not diminish the company due to existing talent?
How likely is it that Endo would sell Paladin to Knight? Is that not the ultimate embarrassment - selling a company for which you paid a fortune - for a song?
Thanks.

Q: How does the possible exercise of the options noted below from their current MD&A impact the price and opportunity?

In April 2014, the Corporation completed a private placement underwriting 5.75 million units at a price of $3.25 per unit, for net proceeds of $17.5 million. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half warrant entitling its holder to purchase one additional common share of Savaria at an exercise price of
$4.25. These warrants expire on April 15, 2017.

Q: Last February you did a portfolio review for me and it has served me very well. At that time ETF ZUH was recommended for healthcare exposure. Subsequently, I have recently subscribed to ETF & Mutual Fund newsletter. I noticed ZUH is not in your list of recommended healthcare ETFs but XHC is on the list. It has probably been so for a while and just did not notice. Should I switch out of ZUH and into XHC?

Q: I have more than doubled my initial investment in Savaria and I haven't sold any shares yet; however, I was wondering what the current forward P/E ratio is and if you would ever sell because it got too 'expensive' in the short term?

I understand buying strength and that hitting new highs is a very good sign, but say Savaria went 50% higher than it is today in a short time frame, would you ever sell purely because the valuation was too high or would you tend to ride it out and risk a pullback because after all, it is still a solid investment and a growing business?

Q: Hello,

Curious about inside ownership with these two companies. Both have been on a tear for a while, and wondering at what point would a larger company look at buying these up for their growth potential. Would you believe they are takeover candidates or does some characteristic of each make that unlikely?

Regards,

Robert

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
In your latest newsletter you mentioned to trim SIS back down to 5%. I have a very small position and hesitated on adding to it because it kept moving up and I thought I had missed my opportunity. I'm now up 150% which represents 2.7% of my portfolio (thanks for that and I'm now kicking myself for not taking a full position).
Is it too late to top it up to 5% now?

Thanks for this great service.
Rob

Q: Could you provide an updated opinion on DR based on their latest quarterly results. The latest quarter appear to be very good with the dividend payout ratio dropping below 50%.
I am thinking of initiating an initial position in this company for a combination of nice income (over a 5% yield) and hopefully a little growth in the share price over time.How does future growth in their business look?
Your thoughts as always would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Good morning 5i. What is the potential downside of sgyp? With respect to its new fda approved gastrointestinal drug. It appears to have better results than its competitors with less side affects. Its potential market base in the U.S. alone is huge. My question with its recent drop in price and the fact that i'm a little overweight this stock is whether I should hang in there for the next 12months? Thx
