Investment Q&A

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

Q: It appears this is the first question on Wrap Technologies ($8.35, market cap $305 million).. Quick blurb about them:

Wrap Technologies, Inc., a security technology company, develops security products for law enforcement and security personnel. It develops BolaWrap 100, a hand-held remote restraint device that discharges an eight-foot bola style Kevlar tether to entangle a subject at a range of 10-25 feet. The company was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona.

They are starting to get orders for BolaWrap from police departments. Their website claims "Policing Just Got Safer".

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Greg

Q: In the event that Corporations, REIT's or other company structures are taken private what options would they have relative to Pref Shares. Convertible Debentures etc. would they have to redeem them or could they still continue to be listed under their original terms? If the latter does that encumber the private Company in any material way?
thanks, Hugh

Q: AND has had a good run lately and I’m wondering if it’s gotten ahead of itself. It’s one I have been watching for a while and wondering what your thoughts are about the company. The fact that it has a small dividend is also a factor. Who are their closest competitors? Am looking for another health related company, have WELL and GUD. If you think there’s a better company to add to my account please feel free to make any suggestion.

I have followed cloudmd DOC and Perimeter Medical PINK but feel they have shot up and could be in for a correction.
Your thoughts on my dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

As always thanks for your great guidance and suggestions.

Q: Hi 5i Team - In your answer to a previous question you referred to the meteoric rise of Shopify as a pretty unique company where things came together at the right time. Do you see another company in its fairly early stages that might be in the same situation that Shopify was two or three years ago (and still is). This company does not have to be in the tech field - any category is good. If you have ideas for more than one company that fits this description that's fine too. Thanks!

Q: I have been considering investing in JNJ but am concerned about its legal issues. These are highlighted in the most recent annual financial statements but are not mentioned in the subsequent quarterly releases other than to say that the company does not give guidance because it cannot predict the outcomes of legal matters. This indicates that they believe the issues are material.
Can you provide your thoughts about the company and the risks that the legal issues present.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi Guys

I see Morguard Corporation has hit a 52 week low and has issued a new $175 million dollar debenture. I guess the weighting it has in retail, hotel, and office real estate continues to weigh on its cash flow? What does the rating of the debenture tell us about the financial health of Morguard and is there anything here to worry about?

Thanks Stuart

Q: I have an old small position in Precision Drilling, which I can sell for a tax loss. I have been suffering with this small position so long, now, that I wouldn't like to sell it just when it pops! Any idea what I can watch as indicators regarding where the stock might go in the period of a month? And what would be a suitable placeholder substitute, which might have the same ability to bounce as PD under favourable circumstances?
thanks

Q: With some of the advance news coming out re the content of the upcoming throne speech, what impact will the speech itself have on the TSX, and what further impact will implementing the policies have on the TSX should this government remain in power. Is there anything proactive an investor should be doing to protect their portfolio for this? Thanks

Q: In response to Roy's question on Sept 11 you stated in part "earnings are expected to bounce in 2021 by up to 50%". I couldn't find any specific information supporting that position in the MD&A accompanying recent annual & quarterly results, other than management's generic confidence in increasing revenues once the pandemic impacts are over (whenever that is!) Have you any other specific information?
