Investment Q&A

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

Q: PAT announced today a firm offering by CGC & others to purchase a large block of common shares along with warrants, etc. I currently own 20,000 shares of PAT which of course dropped nearly 14% this morning. However, I am still positive as I purchased at a much lower price. Would appreciate your expertise as to what position and or options I may have with respect to this transaction & in particular the Warrants. Thank you.

Q: I asked this question yesterday, however it appears it was missed:
"I have some cash to allocate for RRSP & TFSA portfolios and would like your opinion for the above list for both CDA and US.
For RRSP: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today (after the stormy few days) for a more conservative hold 3-5 years, that would potentially have less volatility while continuing to grow sales and earnings.

For TFSA: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today for more growth opportunity and share appreciation in the next 3-5 years.
Please give your reasons for the ones you would choose without sector allocation considerations.
I currently hold TSGI & MX (down on both) but am ok with that."

Q: You have mentioned that you dislike companies that tend to put out too many press releases. I own Reliq Health Technologies and am often surprised at what they consider worth communicating. The other day the press release headline was "Reliq Health Technologies receives second hardware shipment". Today they put out " Reliq Health Technologies Kick Off Patient Onboarding at Rio Grande Valley Health Alliance in Texas". I'm not sure that these qualify as huge milestones that the public and shareholders really need to know and they seem to be self-promotional. Would you consider RHT as a company that does too much self-promoting and does it cause you any concern?

Q: Aug 1, 2018 - CAE acquires Alpha-Omega Change Engineering (AOCE)
CAE today announced that CAE USA Mission Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of CAE USA, has acquired Alpha-Omega Change Engineering (AOCE) for approximately US$29 million, excluding post-closing adjustments. The acquisition will enhance CAE USA’s core capabilities as a training systems integrator (TSI), grow CAE’s position on enduring platforms such as fighter aircraft, and expand the ability for CAE USA to pursue higher-level security programs in the United States.

AOCE, based in Williamsburg, Virginia, provides a range of aircrew training services, operational test and evaluation, and engineering support services to the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. intelligence services.

Would you please provide your opinion of this acquisition by CAE and what is their competition in the Defense Sector?
Thanks
