Q: I own a few hundred shares in Zim largely for the dividend. Today they announced an increase in the quarterly dividend payable Sept 8th to $4.75 yet the shares dropped from over $50. US to under $48. Can you explain this strange behavior. I would have expected it to go the other way.

Q: There has been over $3million insider buying, notably including by the CFO, and the company has redeemed stock consistently over the years.

Q: Good Morning
I have held Vitalhub in my TFSA for some time with no reward for my patience. Although it seems they are making progress, much like WELL they don’t seem to get any recognition from the markets. Would you endorse a switch to DOO, CTS or another name from the Growth Portfolio? Or is more patience warranted given their latest quarterly results?
Thank you

Q: I am considering selling XHC and replacing it with HHL in my RSP to add income. Is this a wise move and do you see any other issues with this change? Thx James
Q: May I have your thoughts on ILMN? Analysts appear to be projecting a weak stock price going forward...but the 8% drop on Friday may be more a result of their comments rather than the latest companies financials. Could these Wall Street firms have already shorted the stock prior to their analyst's comments being issued? I believe the latest earnings are negative compared to a year ago but overall I felt the latest quarter financials weren't too bad. Is the short interest high? Are insiders buying? Is the Reddit crowd circling? I'm sitting at a loss but still prepared to hang-in-there.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi Guys
According to an update i received from Simply Wall St.
12 analysts covering this stock no longer expect the company to break even in the near future.
* They were expected to make a profit of 5.23 million in 2023.
* New consensus forecast suggests the company will make a Loss of 8.75 million in 2023
This doesn't sound very encouraging. What are your views?
Thanks Gord

Q: Please delve into the various components of Knight's quarterly results published this morning including sales, eps, cash position, ebitda, etc.
They still need a big deal to propel them but did this quarter signal an emergence from the previously perpetual doldrums?
Thank you.

Q: Based on your last comments on June 24th about Sanofi could you please help me understand what's behind the recent drop with the stock recently and is this a good time to buy. Is it now at a "bargain" price what are the financial ratios you like and don't like about this stock? How do you feel about their pipeline of drugs?
Your last comment was SNY: Sanofi is a bit different than the others, being a $130 billion pharma company. The valuation fundamentals look fine, growth expectations are mid-to-low single digits on the top line and it pays a decent dividend. For an 'anchor' type of position, we would not take much issue with a name like this.

Q: What is your take on their quarterly report and prospects going forward. What are your thoughts on the motivation for the bump today? I imagine it could be a combination of things!
