Investment Q&A

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

Q: As per my question back in July the value of the options are supposed to be accounted for on a quarterly basis in the payables. Directly to my question if we were ganna have to wait many more years before they have little effect on the financials, your answer was:

``Much of these expenses are reported on the financial statements each quarter at fair value, and so although they might have a vesting period of three to five years, the fair value expense of these are recorded. When the DSUs vest, there should not be a material change to the income statement since the options were already accounted for using their fair value over the previous financial statements.

Even though the stock price has risen dramatically over the years, this increase has been accounted for on the financial statements already. A decrease in share price quarter-to-quarter can actually benefit the financials as the fair value of these expenses can decline. ``

What happened in the last quarter reporting then? Weren't the options valued correctly just 3 months ago?

Hard for me to wrap my head around this situation with HPS. It just feels that there is more money flowing into the pockets of the directors at the cost of my investment.

Q: Please comment on Firm Capital's recent results. I know you have considered it a high risk income stock but given that it has gotten its payout ratio down to 100% and its limited mortgage renewal over the next two years plus having high rate of occupancy in properties that are in demand, do you feel better about it now?

Q: A while ago you guys offered up an interview with Chris and Peter. They were talking about the ideal stocks and why Peter selects them.

The recco from Peter during that episode was Axon and why it was so amazing. Well, everything Peter stated has proven to be right and stock is up close to 100%.

Does Peter have another stock he loves as much as Axon was loved during that interview?

With thanks

Q: A previous question was answered on expected PNG earnings. The concensus was provided. Estimates EPS 1c; revenue $24.05M. Expected November 13 (not officially announced, however). Does 5i have a different view? What are your expectations? Since the bought deal closed a week ago, the stock has been very strong. Is it getting ahead of itself? Is it best to sit and see what happens with earnings before buying?

Q: Hi Peter,

Can I get you to compare Chapters Group AG to Pinetree Capital. Both are small cap holding companies. Do you see a lot of similarities between the two and would they be comparable. Both have had good runs.

I appreciate your views.

Thanks
