Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am considering selling DH now rather than wait for closing of the sale. I would like to replace it with 1 of the 3 mentioned. Which of these 3 would you suggest or do you have another good alternative. I am thinking that my replacement would likely make up for the amount lost by not waiting for the closing of the DH sale. It does not have to be a Dividend payer.
Thanks 5i for the great information and advise that you give. It has certainly been very helpful and profitable for me.

Q: Given the drop in ENGH on the Amazon news, I want to make sure I understand the relationship SHOP has to Amazon. I believe that SHOP provides software to businesses that utilize Amazon but that Amazon does not license, own or necessarily encourage people to use SHOP software. Is that correct? If so, would the risk to SHOP in this "relationship" be if Amazon decided to develop its own software (unlikely, I think) or if Amazon formally named another software partner that businesses would be better of using to deal with them?

Thanks.

Q: I heard the AMZN announced that they are getting into the same space as ENGH and suspect this is a large reason for the drop today. Can you please let me know if this changes your thoughts on ENGH going forward? Perhaps time to sell after a good run and look for better opportunities elsewhere?
Thanks for the help

Q: thanks again for the service you provide. my question is this I held engh for a long time and sold it and replaced it with abt - gps - also msft and csco in the u.s. because they tended to perform better than engh until it's latest rise. other than this stock I own all of the balanced portfolio in the proper percentages. do you think that I should still own engh considering the above. thank you

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

My wife holds DH in her TFSA and her average purchase price was $28.08 per share (not ideal timing). It's only 0.38% of our overall portfolio. In the Technology sector, across all accounts, we own CSU (4.07%), ENGH (1.02%), KXS (0.68%), and OTEX (1.82%). What stock(s) in the same sector would you recommend to replace DH? I realize that our larger positions in CSU and OTEX probably eliminate further purchases, but would you say that adding to ENGH and KXS would be advisable? Or are there other Tech sector stocks we should consider? (We haven't yet decided to wait until DH is taken over and tender our shares, or to sell now if there are compelling reasons.)

Thanks as always for the valued advice.

Q: Hello, I was wondering on your thoughts on today's response by Methanex on the 13D filing by M&G.

Do you think this company is moving in the right direction?
What time frame do you think this stocks need to be held for full value to be seen by shareholders?
What do you think M&G will do next?


----------------------------------

The response talked about the investment they want to do in CHILI as well as their plans on share buyback.

March 27 (Reuters) - Methanex Corp:

* Methanex Corp - commented on filing of revised schedule 13D by largest shareholder, M&G Investment Management Limited Of London, U.K.

* Methanex Corp - "We are optimistic that we will be able to secure additional gas to support an investment in restart of our Chile IV plant"

* Methanex Corp - "expect to be in a position to make a decision by mid-2017 to spend approximately $50 million over 12 months"

* Methanex Corp - "We would expect to spend around an additional $50 million approximately in mid-2018 to refurbish Chile I plant"

* Methanex Corp - "However, given our limited near-term cash requirements, we expect to generate significant free cash flow even at methanol prices that are lower than what we are realising in Q1 2017 and plan to allocate the free cash to share repurchases. Assuming we are able to average a realized price of around $400/tonne, in what is proving to be a very volatile methanol market, we estimate that we could generate sufficient cash to complete the NCIB within a period of approximately four months from the start date of March 13, 2017. After completing the current NCIB on the NASDAQ, it would be our intention to extend the NCIB on the Toronto Stock Exchange which would allow us to use excess cash to purchase up to an additional roughly 1.7 million shares."
