Q: Hi Peter,

Correct me if I am wrong, One way to judge a stock is to see the return on equity as the equity holders will receive a dividend after all the debt and prefereed shareholders are paid. NOw gs.to has a return on assets 49% and return on equity 93%. would this company be a great buy.

Thanks
Paul

Q: GS
What do you think of the recent increase in stock price. In the last 3 months I have made a nice 10% profit with the special dividend issued in September, should I exit now or is this a long term hold.

Q: GS Gluskin and Scheff.

Does this week's developments (owners selling their shares) alter your opinion of GS as a worthy candidate for one's portfolio? If no, what would you replace it with? If yes, would you back up a small truck and buy more shares?

Thank you for your help; and I hope this finds you enjoying your time in Europe and picking up some new and useful ideas.

Q: Following up on your reply to my Gluskin Sheff (GS) question, I understood from the news release that the dual class shares are being eliminated. Have I got it wrong? Thanks, Tim.

Q: I have a position in Gluskin Sheff (GS). Does today's announcement of the cleaning up of the ownership structure increase the chances of the sale of GS or is it more likely that that Mr Gluskin & Mr Sheff just want to reduce their positions? Thanks, Tim.

Q: GS just announced a new issue at $19.00 per share. Why would the company pay out such a hefty dividend and then water down the value of their shares by such a move? Is this new issue being applied against their dividend payout? If so, why disperse such a dividend in the first place?

Q: The Royal Bank has replaced GS with IFC on its 5-stock financial focus list. This might account for the drop in GS today.

Q: Hello.
About gluskin sheff paying a special dividend of 1.4 a share.
Does that not mean that the value of the sp should be higher by that amount?Why is it actually going down?
If I buy now,do I get the special dividend,but will the sp drop by that amount after?
