Investment Q&A

Q: Are there niche radio station companies out there worth pursuing? CJR.b:CA is an apparent "turkey" in Canada but does SGA:US merit some further research? Are there others?

Q: What is your opinion of Faraco?
Thanks

Q: I have owned Theratechnologies since 2018 and watched this stock fall since I purchased it. The stock has been rising the last few weeks and was up 23% on Friday. I couldn't find any exciting press releases that would explain the increase. Do you know of any reason for the recent increase?

The 5 analysts listed on Qtrade have a price target of anywhere from $5.50-$12.04. How much faith can we put in the price targets of analysts?

I was quite excited that it was up to $3.03 but just noticed there was a 4 for 1 stock split in August 2023 so my 700 shares are now only 175 shares. So rather than being down 60% I am actually down 90%. Yikes, I better not tell my wife about this trade!

My holdings in TH are only worth $530 now. Should I sell this loser now or is it worth waiting until the annual report (November year end) comes out?

Q: Can you recommend any small or medium cap, US dollar denominated ETFs, that don’t have any dividends, phantom dividends, ROC, etc? Only looking for a capital gain/loss.

Q: I have small positions in TOI, NVEI, SIS, TOY and WELL in a TFSA, and am considering

Please rate these stocks in terms of growth prospects and indicate how much patience might be required.
Thanks.

Q: Hello,
Happy New Year; is Electrovaya worth stepping into or is it still too risky? Knight seems to have perked up a bit. Is the launch of the drug causing the small surge and is it something noteworthy or will this be another slow rise and than fall back to the 5 dollar level? Much appreciated.

Q: Hi - what is the upside potential for this laggard and what are the catalysts if any

Q: Hi There,

Which 2-3 Canadian companies would you be adding to with your TFSA contribution this year?

Thanks

Q: Montrose Env in NY provides environmental services. It was $76 about 15 months ago and now around $30. Can you give my your assessment on this small cap (0.8B) has a 15.9 P/E. Q3-2023 total revenue was $168 which Q3-2022 was $ 130. They appear to have had losses each of the past few years. It appears to have gone public mid-2020. I'd be grateful for your views on this small cap stock.

Q: Would you be comfortable with a full position in HPS.A? Thank you.

Q: Your thoughts on why the rapid fall lately and whether you think there could be a recovery.
Regards Jerry Gazarek

Q: I bought True North just before the split and it looks to me like it's up 45% in just over a month since the split. Am I misreading this? If this is correct, should I take profits?

Q: I want to add one or all to my TFSA from my registered account- In what order ( if any ) would YOU transfer them ? - Thanx Robbie

Q: Am I get an updated opinion on CKI. Trading much closer to BV now.

Q: Hi, I would appreciate if you can provide your thoughts/analysis of TOI with long term outlook.

Q: What are your current thoughts of Atlas Engineered Products? They seem to be trying to add small legacy type businesses as their method of growth. Do you think they have the management that can pull this off? Are their financials currently solid enough that debt is not a problem at present interest rates? Any other thots positive or negative about AEP? I’m quite positive on this group and wanting to buy more. Should I be tempering my enthusiasm?

Q: It has been a long while since I have owned Birchcliff Energy (BIR) and I was shocked to see it trading for less tham $6. The dividend yield is nearly 14 per cent. I understand that at 2.50 natural gas pricing that BIR has to use leverage to maintain the 20 cent per quarter dividend. I remember about a year ago BIR was debt free so I don't image their debt is that high. I also remember Jeff Tonkin saying that the dividend was almost sacrosanct. So I few questions. Is Tonkin still the COE or has he retired or stepped up to be on the BOD? Is the debt level of BIR still low? At 2.50 gas (I know BIR never used to hedge so I assume they are gettting spot pricing) how much debt per quarter must BIR use in order to maintain the current dividend and spend enough to keep production flat? Do you think they will resize, that is, cut the dividend? And if they cut do you thin they would do an NCIB and start to buy back the shares from their depressed levels?

Q: I have owned Dundee Precious Metals (DPM) periodically over the past few years and the trades have been good. I like trying to trade DPM because it has net cash on the balance sheet and two profitable gold mines in Bulgaria. I also think that if the share price of DPM drops below my entry price by a lot the company will use its cash and start a large buyback or raise the modest dividend. But I just noticed that they used perhaps half of the cash on the balance sheet to buy a gold project in Namibia (Osino mines). What do you think of this deal? Was it a good acquistion? I think the next quarterly result will be good bcause of the higher gold price in the good ore grade at Bulgarian mines could make for good earnings. So aside from the Osino deal what do you think of DPM as a short time trade or longer term hold?
