Investment Q&A

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

Q: When I listen to Knight's analyst conference calls after reviewing their latest results, I am very unimpressed with management's attitude towards "just doing better". The same four executives have been at the helm for at least six years and the stock price is down by half. They are the only ones making money. I wish Goodman would clean house or maybe it's time for him to go, as well. This company is a major disappointment and needs some fresh initiatives from a brand new group. Their performance is embarrassing.
Do you think this Company, that seems to have so much potential, will ever accomplish anything beyond mediocre performance? It's time for new blood. The present team is too rich and definitely not hungry for success. What do you think?

Q: I know in your last answer you indicated you had simply run out of patience with GUD. Wondering what your thoughts are now ? Outside of some major move (maybe a buyout or privatization) do you see much chance for significant capital appreciation over the next year. I'm down over $5K on 2000 shares ...wondering if I should just move on ...and if so, any suggestions (maybe HHL) ?

Q: hello 5i:
recently, I asked a question about LIFE; thanks for the quick response. In hindsight, what I should have asked might have been: which covered call ETF, in the health care space, provides the best dividend rate, with the lowest return of capital. As we're dealing in registered accounts, return of capital is not of interest to me.
thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I have reviewed the questions on these two ETF's and I would like to confirm my thinking. I need to increase both my international and U.S. sectors, one more than the other. As I understand it, if I purchase LIFE, then my international sector would improve over HHL and if I purchase HHL, then my U.S. sector would improve over LIFE. Beyond geographic sector allocation I am largely indifferent albeit with a slight preference for HHL more due to its MER more than anything else.
So, are my assumptions correct and would you have anything further to add in terms of preferring one over the other that I may have overlooked?
Many thanks as always!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: I bought this stock a few years back, it pays a consistent dividend but little value add outside of that. I am thinking of selling and moving into other US pharma with better growth upside. What are your thoughts and a couple of recommendations for alternatives.
As always thanks for your advise.
