Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have owned and traded this stock for some time.Being a small cap,liquidity is low.After the recent news it was up on higher volume.
It is now down the last two days on light volume which tells me traders are taking a quick profit.Is it possible manipulation is occurring?The long term prospects of this company look good,so it is possible for a manipulator to depress the price(on light volume)and pick up more shares when all the weak hands have abandoned the stock?

Q: Hi 5i Research,
I am in the process of copying your Balanced Equity Model Portfolio.
So far I have purchased 9 items, but before I go to far, I wonder if perhaps you have some suggestions for me how to go about it the best way ? Any tips and suggestion are appreciated. Thanks for your service and keep it up, I like it.

Q: PHO announced that they are looking to get approval to list on the TSX "very soon". Once listed on the TSX will the share rise because all of the ETF will have to buy into the stock or will that be accounted for in the listing and will not impact the share price? Also with $3M buyback this should indicate that management thinks the share is currently undervalued.

thanks
Sal

Q: I have a question regarding SIS's dividend. Maybe I am mistaken, but most ''growth by acquisitions'' type of companies usually either pay a small dividend or no dividend at all. CSU, ATD or GUD/Paladin come to mind. The logic being that more value is created by investing the money than giving back directly to shareholders. SIS, on the other hand, pays an high dividend that has been growing quite rapidly in the last year. What is your opinion on this? Have you ever asked them why they pay this amount of dividend or have they ever explained it? I understand they usually sound quite confident in the future but still, I am curious.

Thank you!

Q: Do you see connection between this stock hitting new 52 day low two days in a row and election rhetoric by opposition parties to lower hydro bills by repurchasing shares sold by liberals or firing current CEO. Can Avista merger be stopped which I believe has already been approved by regulators. Do you still recommend Hydro One shares to income oriented investor.
Best regards,
Harold

Q: Rager just announced Q1 earnings with boe/d production averaging more than 24k/d and provided more details on East Duvernay well #1 normalized production rates.

Please share your opinion on the news. Looks like shares can move up on Duvernay results once analysts re-build models to include that acreage and additional drilling inventory.

I'm hoping RRX decides to stay one unit with the Viking cash flows paying for the Duvernay drilling, especially in this environment of strengthening commodity prices.

Q: I bought equal positions of SIS and CCL.B, which are in your balanced portfolio August 2017. Since then SIS is up 24% and CCL.B is up 12%. It seems that there is a lot more growth potential in SIS, so therefore I am considering selling CCL.B and adding proceeds to SIS. Would you agree with this trade? Or would you recommend another stock to add to with my CCL.B proceeds for better growth and momentum?

Q: Hi, Could you give 3 small cap and 3 mid cap recommendations for me to look at on the tsx. I'm looking for good management with a good balance sheet. Something with some risk is ok provided the possibility for good growth is there.
Thanks.
