Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,

It was posted and later removed by portfolio manager Murray Wealth Group that Converge was telling brokers that they were going to miss estimates on the high side and that is what caused the sell off.

This seems extremely sketchy. Isn’t there a quarterly private period? If the miss to the high side could this be investigated? What is your take on this and if management does miss on the high side?

Q: good afternoon,
What would recommend buying in US small caps.
Maybe 3 stocks. I would complement with either IWO or the general small cap index.
Growth index should have more tork coming out of recession?

Q: Last year's volatility on acuity ads (AT) rewarded me since I traded it three times for very nice gains. I kept a small amount of shares since I am playing with the house's money. I looked at today and it is down to $2.17 on the Canadian exchange so the market cap is only about $130 million. From what I can tell them seem to have at least $80 million of cash on the balance sheet. I know their ad revenue will go down if there is a recession but they still have about two thirds of their market cap covered by cash. That is protection, right? If the company can't find an acquisition why don't they do a substantial buy back? The only time I have found a company with such a large amount of cash was a little natural gas producer in New Brunswick called Corridor Resources. I made a few bucks trading on the seasonality and one day, when I didn't own any shares, someone came in and bought Corridor for a healthy premium. Could this happen to Acuity? Are they vulnerable to be acquired with so much market cap covered by cash on the balance sheet?
