Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have noticed with low trading companies, quite often a bid or ask of one lot hiding behind it a larger numbers of bids and asks. Often enough I put my bid or ask 1 cent lower or higher than the competing bid or ask and that particular one lot bid or ask moves ahead of me. Are these traders trying to hide the larger number from regular investors that don't have access to second level quotes? What would be the purpose of their actions.

Thanks

Q: Hi guys

Can you look into LND'S latest report and comment it on it?. I bought this around $ .70 and have watched it fo down like the titanic. I liked the fact that they were trading at less than cash on hand and making money, it is baffling me.I was looking for it to rebound or start forming a base before I bought more, in the old days I would have jumped in and averaged down, but now I wait for a reversal, good thing, as it went down 30% today.I do not like the fact that insiders do not own any shares, that I can see, wonder who is unloading.What do you think about this company?
Thank-you and have a nice day.

Q: I have been holding Canexus in the hope that they would transfer to SPB shares. I am currently up 14% on Canexus and I don't know whether I should take a little profit, or let it go through the process of being bought by SPB. Obviously more risk this week then in the past. Is CUS a sell because of the current risk? Cheers.

Q: It seems to me that the trading pattern of ZCL was very unusual yesterday and today. Yesterday over 200,000 shares traded (about 4X the daily average), yet the price was “contained” within a 1 cent range from 8.99 to 9.00 the whole day. So far today it is the same thing with the price range contained from 8.99 to 9.00. Does this look out of the ordinary to you?

I searched all top picks on BNN’s Market Call, and Market Call Tonight shows for the last 3 years to see how often ZCL was a top pick. It was a top pick three times, but only within the last 3 months (April 8 @ $8.05; May 31 @ $8.69, and June 20 at $9.00). It was not a top pick when it was under $5, $6, $7, and now that it has gone up 40% in a year it suddenly becomes a top pick of several BNN guests. Hmmm. When several BNN guests suddenly make a small company that is not well known a top pick it makes me a little suspicious (could they be unloading after the nice run up).

Reading previous questions about ZCL I see that 5i has liked this stock for a few years. What would you consider a good entry point?

Q: I just got off a wild ride with D BOX and am now looking for something not as wild. Things that show up on my watch list are CTH (Cynapus), EFL and PHI (Pacific). Could you please give me a brief opinion. On another note, I get notified of US stocks I have had where they want me to get involved in a class action suit. I did this with Synoforest and it took a massive amount of time and all kinds of information and after years I got less than 1% of what I lost. Is this common practice with these class action suits?

Q: Question 1:Pki has a 5% yield while atd.b is minimal, would atd.b grow significantly enough to overcome the yield difference. If you had to choose one over the other which one would it be? Do you think atd.b will have to do a financing soon?
Question 2: Have you heard of BUS-X Grande West transportation, if so what are your thought on this company, is it likely to be a baby nfi?
Thank you
