Q: Hi, Stars Group share price has declined over 25%, in a short period, since added to Balanced Portfolio and is trading at its low. Now that the quarterly results are also out of the way, what would you summarize as the main reasons for this continued softness and overhang. Could you also please list the catalysts in the near term which could help lift the stock price and possible time timeline for these to materialize. Thank You

Q: Given that TOY has been drifting down from the $58 level at beginning of July and is now approaching the $50 level which looked like some resistance in June; do the technicals show any indication of being oversold or are there any buy indicators showing. Is this a good price to be adding at considering that a toy season is coming.

Q: Concerning Mike's question, earlier today, on Great Canadian Gaming. You indicated the expected eps for Q2 is 67 cents. I have Thompson Reuters showing consensus expected eps of 72 cents. Is that a slight oversight or is your source showing a consensus of 67 cents? Thanks.

What are your thoughts on GC's numbers? Does this report give more ammo to the longs or to the shorts? Are there any red flags? What is GC's debt profile and their capacity to handle that debt.

Thanks again.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on CAE's earnings ,their debt and growth prospects?

There seems to be a theme regarding the stocks I follow this earning season. Higher valuation stocks (p/e around 20+) when they meet expectations or miss by a little, seem to sell off quite dramatically at first, only the to claw back most of the day's losses. Horrible for anxiety levels. Great for day trading or establishing long term positions though, in my opinion.

Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I've held shares in SLF for a couple of years now and even taking into account the dividends, I am slightly underwater.
From all indications, the latest quarter was good. If I listen to the pundits, the environment for the company, and insurance companies in general, is positive with interest rates increasing but yet the shares don't seam to go anywhere.

In your expert opinion, what would explain the lack of positive momentum for SLF? Is there something fundamentally wrong with the company? Is their large mutual fund business segment worrying investors because of competition from ETF's?

I am more than willing to give this company more time and am very interested in your thoughts.

I thank you in advance for your reply.

Q: Do you have estiamtes for GC's earnings tomorrow? I seem to remember that last quarter only had a few weeks of the new Ontario bundle included in them... am I correct on that? I have been wanting to add a position on the pullback, and earnings kind of crept up on me. Would it be a good buy heading into earnings, or would you wait until later in the week?

Thanks for your help!
