Investment Q&A

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

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Finally the "Board room Brawl and the dust" has settled. My iTrade has finally properly ledgered the changes. It shows that I am in the "green"! Yea!!!

The question is now what?! What is your opinion on CVE going forward? I know you don't answer any personal questions. So, if YOu were a holder of CVE, would YOU, add to CVE or leave it alone or sell? What are your alternatives to CVE?

Many thanks.

Q: It’s seems that the stock is enjoying its marked rise at this time , Is it due to possible merge or a buy from other company? It’s apparently much above its book value and by itself its future growth will not be marked. Is it indeed overvalued and could be sold ? The dividend is good so it could be kept as a dividend payer as one wait for buyout or a merger. What is your opinion on thei stock at this time ?
Thank you ,
Miroslaw

Q: Hello. In the MEG takeover by CVE, I opted for all shares, but received 96% shares and 4% cash because it was over subscribed. In my TD statement, the "book cost" of my new CVE shares reflects the price of the recent transaction, not my original cost of the MEG shares. Will I need to pay capital gains on the shares? As I researched the issue, some sites say the transaction is a "deemed disposition", and I will need to pay capital gains on the shares and cash, and other sites say I can use the "Section 85 rollover" provision to delay capital gains on the shares. Your insight is appreciated.

Q: I hold this company and I have heard through the whole process with the MEG acquisition that its assets are not the best quality, and that it doesn't have the liquidity compared to CVS. If this is accurate and you can confirm so, I will not hold it for the long term. The share price has moved up a little since CVS has been solidified as the buyer. SCR is going to (subject to board approval) go ahead with the $10 special dividend. Do you think approval of the dividend is a formality, and once approved the share price will move up further? At what price would you consider the $10 dividend baked into the stock prompting a sell? I assume the stock will drop close to $10 on the X date so perhaps it may make sense to sell prior to qualifying for the dividend? Do you share the sentiments presented in this narrative? Thank you. John

Q: Wow - did I ever screw up! I bought PKI shares on October 30 not realizing there was a deal already in the works with Sunoco. It appears to me that I lost half my investment in a week. Can I use this as a tax loss?

Q: Can I ask you to suggest a few mid-cap companies that could prove to be good long term investments in the solar energy sphere? My only provisos would be a solid balance sheet and hopefully a valuation that is reasonable based on current fundamentals. Appreciate your thoughts, thanks.

Q: Can you update your comment on Mattr Corp and the recent earnings, it had a big drop today, why? Have your comments from the last post in September changed? I'm wondering if I should average down at some point on my position in my RRSP or should I sell and move on. Is it worth holding for longer term?
