Investment Q&A

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

Q: I bought DOO and now down almost 20%. Are these guys run by the same Bombardier family that runs BBD? Knowing how you guys feel about Bombardier I would be surprised you'd recommend a company run by Bombardier. Can you please advise who they are run by. And also, I would like your opinion on if it is time to dump it, hold it or add to it? Thanks

Q: Hi.

What companies are good investments for the short and long term now that the NAFTA agreement is negotiated? re DOO, MG, NFI. Also, how about PBH for a long term investment? Which Gaming company has better growth potential between TSGI and GC?

Thank you

Rob

Q: I have never liked the "bought deal" type financings that seem to be the way things are done in Canada, but I have to admit that as a holder of DOO watching the steep sell-off after the recent secondary offering priced in US$ was no fun. TD was offering the shares to clients with the price "TBD within the context of the market". The shares dropped about 15% in the days following the announcement when the issue was priced. Can you briefly explain how the pricing is determined for offerings such as this one. Do they simply wait for the market reaction and then set the price where the shares end up on the pricing date? What are the sellers and buyers obligations? Can the sellers just change their mind if the market reacts too harshly and say "thanks but no thanks, we will keep our holdings rather than sell at a 15% discount?

Q: BRP has retracted somewhat and I think could fall further to $59 or $60 range. Considering that "BRP competes with some formidable brand names, such as Polaris and Honda in the snowmobile and ATV sectors, which have higher sales and deeper pockets for advertising and promotional spending." Also as a consumer cyclical and with the present uncertainties around NAFTA, do you think this is a possible volatile stock along the lines of TSGI, The Stars Group ( personally now down 36% and have learned some painful lessons)? Or does it's position as part of a conglomerate give it some protection?

Thanks Always. Stephen

Q: The following is an info from a commentary:
Beaudier Group and Bain Capital, which own a combined 58 million multiple-voting shares in BRP, will convert some of their holdings through a secondary offering of 8.7 million subordinate voting shares.Tuesday’s retreat suggests that investors could be nervous about key stakeholders selling out at the top of the market, and at a time when some observers are concerned about the aging business cycle and the impact of rising interest rates on consumer spending
If you look at the average daily trading volume, it’s like 220,000 shares. You’re putting 8.7 million shares into the market. There’s going to be a complete oversupply relative to demand on the shares that are out there,” Ms. Katz said.
After the secondary offering, Bain and Beaudier will still own nearly 50 million BRP multiple voting shares, combined. However, additional sales are likely, particularly by Bain.

In light of the above, can I please have your candid comments on this company going forward. Is Doo considered a "sell"
