Investment Q&A

Q: what's your opinion on this small co?
buyable?

Q: Following close scrutiny of the available information to date, I have decided to support Johnathan Goodman in his battle with Medison. This is essentially a war between two men as no one else at Knight or Medison has more than 35000 shares (one person) and the rest have basically none. Goodman has double the number as Medison. I predict Goodman will add to his position before May 7 - he could afford as many shares as he wants/needs to succeed.
However, kudos to Jakobsohn, despite my extreme cynicism towards his motives - he will control the 28% of his company that knight owns plus get control of almost $800M in cash that he did NOT raise, Goodman did - as this process has unquestionably devalued Goodman's reputation and I am sure he will be working at full potential to restore it and long before his tired grandchildren timeline evolves. When/if he wins, he could do a $2B deal the next day as raising any extra funds would receive widespread market support. Can Jakobsohn claim the same?

Q: Like many long suffering investors, I am really getting fed up with this stock. I watched a recent interview on BNN with Jonathan Goodman and was not impressed. He had an opportunity to justify why GUD was a public company and completely failed to do so. His message seemed to be if you are not investing for your grandchildren's financial future you might as well forget this stock. I think GUD should at least initiate an initial and rising dividend policy since it has failed to invest much of the large pool of cash being reserved for acquisitions. What do you think of these odds. Thanks.

Q: Using DOO as an example, according to RBC, among 8 analysts the estimates for the Q1 range from .31 to .68 per share, thats a .37 variable. Roughly speaking, with over 97 million shares outstanding x .37 , that is over a $35M spread for only one quarter. Often stocks get rewarded or punished for missing estimates by pennies, I dont understand why so much emphasis, when in this case anyway it appears the analysts are throwing darts to come up with their numbers? Not much of a question, but I have lots.

Q: I am managing an rdsp with the following holdings: abt, bce, cm, csu, enb, otex, pbh, rpd and sis. I have some cash to invest - can you please recommend some shares to add or should I increase some of my holdings? (They are fairly equal). If I add some shares - it would 1 or 2. Thanks for your input.

Q: Cormark Securities analyst David McFadgen dropped his target for Great Canadian Gaming Corp. (GC-T), calling its financial disclosures related to its Greater Toronto Area (GTA) “troubling developments.” With a “reduce” rating, his target dipped to $41 from $44. The average on the Street is $56.80.

What are the financial disclosures that McFadgen is referring to?

Q: I sold this one with a nice profit last August when it rolled over and am now looking at buying it back as it seems to be resuming its uptrend. What prospects do you see at the moment and what factors contributed to such a steep sell-off when many other stocks in the gambling space like GC.TO did so well?

Q: Thinking of different options for GUD and was wondering if Goodman has the means to take it private. Your thoughts?

Q: Hi Team,
I noticed TSGI is in your balanced portfolio but it has not performed at all. Do you believe it can reach the previous highs of +$50 per share. It has exceeded the estimates three times in the last four quarters but expected to make less money than last year in the next two quarters. Thank You.

Q: Any concerns arising from the report from Cormark?

Q: Hi,

In the process of replicating the growth portfolio. There are 3 industrial companies in it; ATA, GDI and PEO(which I currently own) I also own SIS and want to keep but also want to keep that sector at three stocks. Which one between ATA and GDI would you drop in order to keep SIS?
Thank you

Q: I am tired of waiting for GUD to do something. I have 50,000 shares; what would you suggest in trying to sell these?

Q: Any news on sharp drop today($4.34 down 0.08) after recent good uptrend & flirting with new year high of $4.475.2% position on $4.02 p/p Buy more,hold or take profit? Thanks for u usual great services & view

Q: I sold SHOP at $265 yesterday when the Citron report came into my inbox. I've been hit hard on other stocks targeted by Citron, and I wanted to retain my gains. Nothing much has happened. Do you expect it to continue its good behavior? Or should I wait a bit to buy back.

Q: High Arctic To Buy Precision Drilling Snubbing Assets for $8.25 million. Looks to me like they are taking advantage of market conditions and using cash on hand. Do you see this as a positive.
Thanks John
