Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi there, can you provide insight regarding Apple and the expiration of the thirty days they had to appeal? Seems as though both parties are being very quiet regarding the matter! I can't find any information or news release as I write this question. What would your experience suggest here, serious negotiations going on behind the scene...to finally settle all current and future patent claims/contracts? Possibly, a real big win for QTRH going forward with Apple?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Thanks!

Q: Hi Sir,
I am new to invest the small price risky stocks. For examples in WELL:CA, I have reviewed the Revenue and Earnings for the past 3 years:
2017, Revenue(mil) is 0, EPS is -0.03, Cash (mil) is 0.
2018, Revenue(mil) is 11, EPS is -0.04, Cash (mil) is 8 .
2019, Revenue(mil) is 33, EPS is -0.08, Cash (mil) is 16 .
I don't understand why on 2019 the revenue is big like 33, but the EPS is even more lost to -0.08 comparing to previous years. But the stock price still going higher and higher. Did i missing something? Would you please kindly advise. Thank you.

Q: Peter, can you shed any light on the dramatic price action following MOGO's financial release. It shot up from 1.25 to 3.45 following the release (175%+) and has now settled back to around 1.70 as I write this. The trader in me would expect some gap filling here, but I have no idea why the stock spiked as sharply as it did.

Q: Why would the Torstar board agree to a hard lockup on the Nordstar offer when they know there is at least one other bidder interested in buying the company? Also, why would Fairfax indicate they are voting in favour of this deal. Shouldn't a company like Fairfax be pushing the board to entertain other offers. Does FFX have a fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders to ensure they maximize the value of their Torstar holdings. Feels like some inside dealing going on between Nordstar, Torstar board and FFX management??
Also, they cut the dividend in November which knocked the share price down 40%, then in January they put the company in play. Why cut the dividend before putting the company up for sale? Buyers pay a premium over the stock market price to get a company. So if they kept the dividend it is likely any buyer would have to pay a premium on what would have been a much higher dividend supported price. Your comments please and thanks.

Q: Just a comment on DYA re the question on its threat by the "electric vehicle boom".

DYA's technology, as I understand it, injects hydrogen derived from on-board water electrolysis into diesel engines to reduce emissions and possibly improve fuel economy. It is used on diesel trucks not on passenger cars with gasoline engines. The company claims to look at other applications such as diesel engines on big mining trucks, ships and the like as well. Vehicles with large diesel engines targeted by DYA, for a variety of reasons, will not be early adopters of EVs.

Post if you like and consider the comment useful to your members.
