Investment Q&A

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

Q: Filed on sedar yesterday was a disclosure that a US Fund owns 11% of the shares of Quorum Information Technologies (TSXV: QIS). It appears that this institutional investor has been buying this stock over the last year through Cantor Fitzgerald Securities. For such a small but profitable and growing Company, is this good sign when a US institutional investor is taking a big stake in a micro cap Canadian software company?

Q: Hello,

I would like your opinion on Sleep Country as a long term hold. It seems like a simple quality business, but am hesitant if there's value after coming public. Thanks

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
(1) It seems to me that Air Boss would fit in the Industrials sector; does it?
(2) I have no exposure to the Patient Mobility business (Health); do you have a preference?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi there

Corby is off about 10% from its highs earlier this year. I don't see any significant news. Just wondering if that is because of perceived interest rate increases coming later this year? I was thinking of adding to my small position to bring it up to a 5% weighing for income. Any thoughts on the company and this move?

Q: What do you think of Shopify now that it's had a first financial report? It has really shot up today. If you recommend it would you wait to see if the price goes down or buy at this level? I hold about 2% in PDP.V Pediapharm and about 2% in SPN.V Snipp both of which are down since I purchased. Would you use some of these monies to buy SH? My total holdings in biotech are about 12% and include PHM, NHC, GUD, and PDP. My holdings in tech companies are about 10% and include SPN, WIN,EL,GIB.A,CBX (scant amount),FEYE.US,SIMO, and GRMN.US. CSU is another one I have on my radar. Thanks!

Q: This is a tiny company but appears to be capturing market share in an established business( cash management etc) via new technology 80% of revenue is recurring. As typical of software company large gross margins ( 73%). I think they make as much as 3 cents a share profit this year, no debt and as almost all their business is in the US the appreciating US dollar really helps them. Assuming a 20% growth rate over next few years how does one evaluate this company?

If you feel this question requires too long an answer then you can charge me more credits or not answer.

Q: Full disclosure, I sold all my INP when I learned Saskatchewan was dry and the canola price was rising. All commentators say yeah good buy. I questioned, I maybe wrong as I often am,- but I try to take cover if I am not sure, if there is a light crop INP may have to take it's share of the crop in 2017 as it had to take last year's share this year. The reason the canola price goes up is lack of crop - Input does not get paid till it sells is oil seed.

Any reason for the recent weakness in Input? You mentioned the quarter looked strong but the share price has dropped from $3. Any change in your previous views going forward?
Thank You

Q: What do you think of FTG's latest quarter? I like the currency torque(which should be even higher next quarter without the hedge in place) and aerospace tailwinds.

Is this a good small cap to buy?
