Investment Q&A

Q: When I look at the price charts for ENDP, TEVA, CXR, and VRX, I'm seeing companies that have a problem. Assuming GUD goes in as the white knight, are they buying products, divisions or manufacturing operations. Can you explain how GUD would go about acquiring the assets of these companies with their fat bank account?

Q: Please comment on Open Text's earnings. The GAAP - net income /eps (0.14) seems to be on the low side - this is what expected? If not whats going on here? Can you also comment on whether the cash flows are in line with what's expected?

Q: Hi there, I already own most of the Balanced Equity Portfolio (except for the more conservative yield names) and am looking to add some names from the Growth Portfolio. At the current moment, what would be your top 5 best ideas from the Growth Portfolio to start with? Thank you for your great service!

Q: comments please on the quarter?

Q: Q3 seems to be a disappointment. Management says that they expect to be back on track next year. If so, I would pick up a half position on any weakness in the next few days. Do you know them well? What is your opinion on their credibility?

Q: How to check PHO has a momentum buy signal.?

Q: Hi 5i,
Your new site looks great, congratulations. I heard on BNN that enbridge missed estimates. They also said that enb has an enormous amount of debt. Should I be worried? Should I dump my stock?

Q: Hi, Could you please post the quarterly estimates for Stella Jones and Open Text. Thanks

Q: Just a follow-up to John's question on KXS earlier today regarding the decrease in Professional Services Revenue. I'm under the impression this is a strategic initiative by the company and should in no way be construed as a negative.
Below is the press release from their 2nd quarter earnings release explaining the initiative.
"Second, our strategic partners are increasing their role in deploying new customer implementations, and gaining the related Professional Services revenue as a result. This positive trend has occurred earlier than we anticipated - which in turn has reduced our outlook for professional services revenue growth for 2017. While this has a short-term revenue impact – we are excited by the acceleration of partner contributions to our business. This also creates a stronger mix of subscription revenues in our business model."

Q: I quote from the latest release, "Professional services revenue was $7.4 million in Q3 2017, a decline of 17%". With other metrics rising, how could this be?

Q: Site looks great guys! Loving the addition of the top gainers per index, etc. Can you give me review of CRH's earnings release this evening?

Q: What is the consensus for Q3 rev. and eps please.

Q: In your reply to Brenda you indicated earnings growth for CLS next year.
RBC shows 2016 $1.40, 2017 $1.23, and 2018 $1.29.
I am wondering what numbers your research shows?
Also, at today's price would you be comfortable buying or would selling a March put be a worthwhile strategy?
Many thanks.
Mike
