Q: Good Afternoon

Any reason for the recent weakness in Input? You mentioned the quarter looked strong but the share price has dropped from $3. Any change in your previous views going forward?
Thank You

Q: Amaya seems to be at its range ceiling. I'm thinking of selling for a 17% profit and buying Csu. Thoughts?

Q: I understand that Fission investors think that Denison's offer (1.26 DML shares 1 for FCU share) is mingy, but why are both companies' share prices declining? That is, shouldn't Denison be perceived as the smart operator, getting superior assets for cheap? (I'm guessing that Fission's poor price reflects market pessimism as concerns competing offers.)

Q: The ceo has been talking about a possible complementary acquisition to help fund their growth. What public company do you think could be of interest to them or would they look at a private company? Are cvd and mda and bos in the same space? I own Heroux and was wondering if Airbos of America is in the same space. Thanks.

Q: Hi
2 stocks - same problem . I have held full positions in Potash and Precision Drilling for over a decade . I get a decent dividend but I am ridiculously under water on both stocks ( although Potash has come back a bit ) .

Both are in my taxable account so at least I can record the huge loss on my taxes ... Maybe I should by Ag Growth and replace these two . Thoughts ? / Thanks

Q: Whatever happened to Legumex? I seem to recall a few years ago (2012?) that a few analysts were all over this stock as a growth company with unbounded potential. Ever since, there has been hardly a peep or a pea bean out of them. Why is it failing so miserably, given the (presumably) untethered growth in this sector -- i.e, pulses. I never owned it, and was always waiting for something to happen. Is it likely that anything will ever happen with this stock? Thank you.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
As you have stated... historically you told your colleagues never to let you buy BB because you could never figure this company out. Well I am in your camp...I have never bought BB for the same reason. Analysis and predictions have been all over the map which explains its roller coaster volatility. However as it is heading to a new annual low I am looking at it with interest...I know Chen has done a good job and the company still has assets and potential...I read about a possible Android type phone. Please give me your current assessment... Do you think this is a $15.00-$20.00 stock at best? Or do you think that in the end they will be sold? Or is the future of this company too unpredictable with the risk out weighing any potential gains?
Thanks for your consistent high quality service...

Q: I have enjoyed good profits with this stock and good returns. I see there are no questions logged with 5i and would like to know your thoughts on this stock. I expect it to do well moving forward, but based on other sector stocks, am wondering if it's time to move on?

Q: You rate AFN & XTC as B and WSP as B-. Do you prefer one company over the others at the present time? Which company has the bigger capitalization and share float?
WSP has been acquiring smaller engineering companies and I heard on the grapevine that some of the "Principal" level engineers in one of the acquired companies are thinking of leaving. I am in the engineering & construction business myself. Turn-over in this line of work is not unknown however generally "principals" don't leave. (Just small fries like me tend to hit the road).
Thanks

Q: I currently have 20% of my RSP portfolio in US stock. I would like to increase it to 50%. My question is - at the currency levels today does this make sense? I thinking is - I don't see the CDN $ getting stronger anytime soon & I do see the US $ getting stronger over time. My other reason for wanting US is the companies I can't get here.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Thank You
Craig

Q: In fairness to the principals of PHM, each sold 1.2M shares @ $1.46 for proceeds of $1,752,000. Both men cashed in 3.9M options for a cost of $1,920,000, so it appears they sold just enough shares to almost finance the purchase of their options, leaving both with 2.7M shares with ZERO cost.
These guys are so smart but they are not dumping shares other than to recoup their cost as they obviously see a long term benefit in holding the millions of shares they still own including the free ones detailed here. Oh, to be in their shoes - I own a chunk of this stock and will never sell it before it gets taken out at north of five dollars.
Any opinion on the stream of negativity on future oil prices due to oversupply, low demand, China, OPEC, etc., etc., would be appreciated. Do you see any strengthening in the price over the next two years?
Thank you.
