Investment Q&A

Q: re:AYA

Wiping my tears so I can type and, I am sure you are tired of hearing about this company.

My position is small ($1,000 & less than 1%) but I am a little tired of watching this precipitous fall.

On Saturday a 5i member commented

"there is a zone of resistance between about $5.75 to $6.13. It touched $6.11 in intra-day trading on March 31st but closed at $6.30. If prices close within, or more seriously, the resistance zone, watch out."

I'm close to jumping ship but would like to hear your thoughts on the aforementioned comment and maybe provide some explanation as to what exactly he is saying. If it gets to $5.75 it will drop to a dollar?

Thanks You Peter & Family

Q: Hi Guys,

This is a couple of questions about Amaya (AYA)

Why is your report so out of date (Sept 2012) for such a growing company?

Why does your opinion differ so much from the market on this company? It is down 25% from the beginning of the year. Obviously the market does not like this company. Is the growth really there? Please provide more than "it's a good company" answer.

Regards
John

Q: Re Amaya, AYA, from a technical point of view, there is a zone of resistance between about $5.75 to $6.13. It touched $6.11 in intra-day trading on March 31st but closed at $6.30. If prices close within, or more seriously, the resistance zone, watch out. However AYA may simply be caught up in the recent rout in the software sector. I would be inclined to hold depending on the fundamentals.

Q: To follow on the questions asked about Amaya Gaming today. I am not currently a holder of Amaya but have been looking to add to the sector. It appears alot of the down side risk is out of this stock. Would you consider this a good Buy Opportunity or would you wait for things to balance out a bit more?

Thanks Jon

Q: AYA Still dropping. I am not underwater yet with Amaya in my children's portfolios but wondering how far down before we let it go? Or are you still comfortable with at least 20% drop? Always apppreciate your views.

Q: Mr. Hodson, anything new on Amaya (AYA)? It keeps dropping. I'm sure many are disappointed and wonder whether it is still the value it used to be. Is there any development to come soon, likely to affect its future ?

Q: AYA has been dropping day after day up to their disappointing earnings. In fact, it's been down 1.5% to over 2% almost every day for the past ten days. Now we get a huge drop on earnings. Since you didn't know anything, this tells me their earnings disappointment wasn't known on the street. That in turn suggests a lot of insider trading by those who were given this information. Personally, I want nothing to do with such companies, and I'm wondering if you're reconsidering its inclusion in your portfolio.

Q: Although Amaya has had a bad quarter the outlook for revenue growth is encouraging; which should probably improve gross margins too as the margins declined on administrative and general expenses which normally would not grow at a similar pace. Is today the time to average down?

Q: AYA Buy, sell or hold. Thanks

Q: Aya I already own it and down pecent. After todays result do you advise adding more or sell or just wait. Thanks

Q: Hi folks,could we please get a more detailed answer to Q results for Amaya besides "little disappointing" and your future thoughts on company. Q was huge miss imo and to see stock go from $9+ just couple weeks ago to $6.11 today is very concerning, especially when we had two days recently when stock had big 10+ dip in stock price,albeit to recover but stock has been in steady decline lately. Stock has been analyst darling but to me, is now a "show me" stock and likely to languish from here. Sorry longwinded but am I reading to much into results and recent trading, almost seemed like somebody knew Q results were going to be bad and bailed while "the going was good". Thanks as always jb

Q: AYA: any reason for the major drop in the share price today?

Q: hello what is your take on AYA results thanks i find it hard to gauge when a company has had a lot of acquisitions

Q: AYA has just touched its 200 day moving average. Is this a good buying opportunity or should one wait for the upcoming financial reporting? I am presently down about 6%, but don't want to throw good money after bad. Thank you.

Q: How would you compare Amaya (AYA) and Surge (SGY) in terms of growth and security ? Of course, Surge pays a substantial dividend, which you view as sustainable. Is this a meaningful plus?

Q: Amaya Gaming has a debenture trading, would you know what the terms are and would this be an alternative to investing in the common stock

Q: peter, just reading in the new York times about legislation to ban internet gambling in the united states backed by sheldon adelson owner of the venetian. my question is what will this do to Amaya if it passed. dave
