Investment Q&A

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

Q: I know DUG has had its negative issues but the death spiral down shows no end in sight. For all their problems they seem to have solid revenue and I didn't see bankruptcy on the radar but the price action seems to suggest some are worried. If I wait this out and the next few quarters shows a pulse I would think there is tremendous upside from here. Or would you suggest I cut my losses and sell under the "hope is not a strategy" principle.

Q: I'm considering buying BRE for a TFSA, mainly due to its consistently high Dividend (stable tax-free income). My concern though is that it generally pays out over 3 times what it earns. How can this possibly be sustainable? The way it see it, BRE essentially generates bulk of its revenue from fees (commissions) which can be low risk provided the sales continue growing. Is BRE a good choice for a TFSA at current price?

Q: Vanadium seems to be the new hot metal, after lithium and cobalt. LGO has done very well, but a new listing, United Battery Metals, UBM, has recently done very well also. Probably just another speculative junior miner. Your comments, please? Thank you.

Q: I have owned Fortress Global Enterprises Inc. (FGE) for at least 5 years with an average cost of about $20.00 per share. It is now worth about $2.00. Fortress used to be involved in several paper businesses. However, due in part to the imposition of import duties imposed by some of the countries in which its customers were located, Fortress sold off some business lines, re-focussed on its pulp business and under-gone recent re-financing. Is there any hope for this company or should I dump it from my non-registered account and claim a capital loss?

Q: Just as a follow up to my previous question and a comment I am sure is on many members mind. I see that RHT is up a bit today after the call. Maybe a dead cat bounce who knows. The dilemma in selling at a 75% loss is that I do not get the tax loss as its in my TFSA. I imagine many members are in the same predicament. What little is left in the security, will make such a small difference in the overall portfolio, I would rather hang on and hope that your first impression of the Company was correct. Not sure my mentality is appropriate here, but I would rather take the lesson and hold, than to sell and then see it go back up.

Thoughts?

Q: With all the talk of an admittedly bad mistake (at best) by management, what has happened to the technology? Didn't you believe in iUgo and the accompanying smart phone app and the jump this company supposedly had in producing a superior remote monitoring product for chronic care patients? But they bruise their heals because they didn't understand CMS billing well enough and, oh well, so much for that technology? Is it great technology or not? Will it save government health care money or not? If it will, then surely CMS will come around and recognize this and eventually reimburse for the service, no? This all just seems odd that one day you're touting this company as having the one of the best technology stories in the health technology space, and the next they are a dog because they made a mistake. Is there no room for growing pains for a start up?
