Investment Q&A

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

Q: In the answer to question asked by Richard you state that the 2019 EPS for SIS 2019 is 83 cents.
The company recently announced an estimate of $60M earnings for 2019 with less tha $50M shares outstanding, which is obviously a higher EPS than your est. Is this because the company is referring to EBITDA and you are referring to net earnings?
When we are shown the forward EPS on Morningstar etc..., are they referring to EBITDA or net earnings? Is it really only net earnings that matter? Please explain.
Thanks
John

Q: Hi 5i,
Toy has been sliding as of late. A guest on bnn yesterday has said that he blames "trade war" fears. Do you think that the current trade war fears, or tariffs that are happening right now will affect Toy in any meaningful manner? Or are investors selling off for no reason. I realize the old Toys R Us bankruptcy likely kept the stock sideways for a while. But now, that seems to be mostly behind us (is it not?) Leading up to holiday season I would have expected Toy to take another leg up here, especially after last earnings release was showing that they are still into record results despite Toys R Us. Is this setting up to be a great buying opp? Your opinion, thanks.

Q: Both these stocks are in my portfolio at a substantial loss. At what point does one, or for that matter you, decide to sell a position as it slides downward. Some have argued that if a stock slides 10% that it should be sold. Perhaps not the best rule of thumb but it would avoid the substantial losses in the company's share price. TCL continues to slide each day seemingly without a bottom. So at what point do you pull the plug on a position and move on? Recent research I have seen on TCL sees potentially another $3-4 of downside, Where do you see each of these companies forming a bottom?
Clearly the market is not in love with either of the two at this time. What will change this?
