Investment Q&A

Q: why do you say crh has to have management changes , because management missed guidance, lots of companies miss guidance and you do not call for mgmt changes, kinaxis missed guidance, pivot missed guidance the list goes on and on. dave

Q: Hi folks:

hate to beat a dead horse, but do we still hold .Down close to 60 percent at the moment. I bought this for the long run but my goodness this stock is frustrating!

Thank you.

Q: Hi, would you take this opportunity to begin a position in these names after missing earnings? Can you rank current opportunity for long term growth. Thanks

Q: Can I please get your comments on Pivot's latest results. Thanks

Dave

Q: Is there any reason for 4% drop in open text?? Seems like the recent earnings was decent.

FJ

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please.

Thanks.

Q: I thought I was reasonably patient and comfortable with a reasonable amount of volatility . . . but it is still disconcerting to see a 12% drop in both KXS & SIS in the first two months after adding them to my TFSA! And KXS looks to be even more in free-fall this morning.
They are each only 2.3% of our (my/spouse's) total portfolios, but a significant % of my TFSA.
Please tell to whether to hang in there or what might be at play here?

Q: Pleaase coment on the quarter?
Thx

Q: I currently have 3% weight on SPB and down 11% so I was thinking of adding more to make it 4% weight,what are your thoughts are this?

Thanks

Q: After holding this stock for the last 4 years I am thinking of taking what is left of my CRH holdings and replacing them with NFI, this will bring it to a full position.

What do you think?

Q: There is 9.86% cash in the Income Portfolio. I know you are a big believer in not having large amounts of cash sitting idle. When do you expect to put this cash to work? Thanks for the great work! Steve

Q: I'm 45 years old and want to buy some canadian growth stocks. Will you please suggest (in order of preference) 5 or 6 growth stocks with some sort of dividend yield. Also, will you indicate the best place to hold these stocks (rrsp, tfsa, cdn). Thank you.

Q: Hi folks,can get your opinion after Q results for Raging River,which is only oil stock I own. Is everything still good for company in your opinion. Scotia kept rating SP with $10T,thanks as always, jb

Q: I am retired and living on dividend income. I going to initiate a position in PKI based on your outlook and now consider PKI a Strong Buy after another 4% drop since your Aug 1 comment:
Aug1- "The $3 decline in July seems a bit much to us, and its prospects remain good with its recent acquisitions. We would view it as a BUY up to a reasonable portfolio position."
Aug 3-"Analysts expect lower earnings for 2017 and very strong growth in 2018. We continue to like its long term prospects."

I'm really attracted to investing in companies like this. Companies that are financially strong and fair/under-valued. But impatient investors aren't willing to hold for the long term prospects and are selling off because the strong growth won't be realised for 6-12 months.
Can you identify other dividend paying companies in a similar situation, that are undervalued but should realise strong growth and therefore share price in the next 6-12 months.

Q: If the share sell-off continues at a 3MM + rate per day - how long can they continue? Moreover, the management doesn't seem to get it!!
Thank you.

Q: I bought a half position of KWH.UN July 10 and after only 3 weeks, it's down 7%. Do you recommend I add to my position and average down or wait for an certain event?

How do you determine when to add to partial positions?

Q: Hello i5,
I have followed your answers re CRH Medical Corp. holdings and by now I am down 60% with this holding! My question is, at what point do you recommend selling a stock or do you ever do that? I am a newcomer to this group so my apologies if I sound naïve.

Q: Hi,

I think the payor mix and reimbursement changes are the largest risk to this company. Assuming much more margin pressure, using very conservative estimates, my DCF model points to a higher value then current share price. Their products and services are essential and I can’t foresee a substitute. Am I missing something? Do you guys see any major long-term trends that could threaten their business model?
I have a long-term outlook (5 years out) and can handle volatility. Would you say the probabilities of a double from today's share price in 5 years is high?

Thanks,
R

Q: Hi team, the recent quarterly results of GSY,though better than expectations, have not inspired the market. Rather a declining trend in price is noticed . I have a full position in this counter. Please let me know your thoughts about holding or reducing. Thanks

Q: I am interested in potentially adding to XTC. I currently have a 2.5% position. I hold it instead of Magna in a portfolio that reflects your balanced portfolio. Any comments on their current earnings release? Would now be a good time to top up this position by 1% to 3.5% weighting?
