Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter and Team, my question is about Cipher Pharmaceuticals. First, what is the dividend yield for this company? Yahoo Finance says 3.40%, and Globe & Mail says 0%. Second, if you were to give a rating to Cipher, would it fall into the B or C category? Thanks, Gervais

Q: What are your general thoughts on the long term prospects for this stock? What impact would listing on the NASDAQ have on the stock

Q: Hi Peter & Team;

I have been looking at the Clarke Inc Company website, Sedar, and your site on this Company. I see a small investment mgmt Company with an ROE of around 30, 5 yr CAGR in the 40's, ttm diluted eps, just from continuing ops of $3/sh...total ca of $77M (close to $4/sh)...debt of only $2.7M...buying back shares...but a P/E of only about 3? Yes, the eps (continuing ops only) prior to the ttm was variable, and the portfolio is a dog's breakfast...but the new CEO seems to be cleaning up the portfolio. Shouldn't this stock command a little more respect than PE=3?
Q: Have (any of) you personally met the current CEO, and the Exec Chairman...and, if so, what is your opinion of them?
Q: In your opinion, is their a missing piece...or misfit, on the mgmt team?
Q: If you had to put an intrinsic value on CKI right now, what would that be?

Thanks for your input;

Q: I am interested in the water space generally. I consider it to be one of the best longer term plays out there. Can you tell me your views on PUR. They have some very interesting water pipe technologies which measure flow and leakage, but would like your input on their prospects overall. Thanks.

Q: Prometic seemed to have some good news today from the FDA-just wondering what you thought about this.

Q: Could I get your comments on their Q3 reporting. It looks good to me, but the stock sold off. Thanks.

Q: Why is there such a negative 'pall' hanging over this company? The Bal. Sheet is good (re. $24M in cash), the co. is profitable and the 'story' about railroad technology is rather compelling from my perspective. Do you think this is the bottom for the price of the stock? What investment grade do you give this company?

Thanks, again, for your insight and analysis.

Q: Could you give your opinion on vln it's now testing 10year high,insider ownership, div. increase,safety buy sell hold. Thanks for your insight.
