Investment Q&A

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

Q: Further to your response to an inquiry about Knight Therapeutic results, could you comment in any detail on management performance. They have been in charge for at least five years, the cash position is down from $800M to $145M {after buying GBT and company shares, etc.) and the stock price is down half from the $10 plus when Goodman brought them in and then disappeared.
I know he had an accident, but I saw him on BNN a couple of years ago and he looked fine, just made too much money on Paladin.
There just doesn't seem to be any drive to improve the company and increase shareholder value. Management seems unmotivated. Should Goodman replace them or sell the company to someone who can realize it's potential before I turn 100?
Thank youl.

Q: If I was to request to have SHOP moved from a US account to a Cdn account - how does it work? If say i had 100 shares in a US account - would they simply add 100 shares to the Canadian account and equivalent cash for exchange or would they add the equivalent shares - say 135 to account for the foreign exchange difference?

Q: Could you please comment on FRU's Third Quarter results and your expectations for the stock over the next 12 months considering these results, the company's guidance, production growth and your assessment of oil and gas prices over this period. I currently own shares in the company. Would you continue to hold the shares or perhaps, add to the position?

Q: More of a general question/comment. I wonder if you've ever experienced this or have suggestions?

I tried to make a purchase today of CASH.TO, the Horizon High Interest Savings Account ETF with my BMO Investorline account and the trade was not allowed, with the notification that only sell transactions are allowed for that security.

When I called the help desk, I was told that their internal policy does not allow investors to purchase any high interest savings account ETFs. Of course, they would be more than happy to open a BMO savings account for me!!

I was able to purchase this security just fine via Scotia iTrade. I am completely at a loss to understand the rationale here, but thought I'd post the question here as to whether this is standard practice in the industry or is there some inherent risk to this security that I'm completely missing that would cause them to blacklist it?

Thanks,

Ryan

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Would you consider Algonquin to essentially be an income stock in the near term? Having held it for some time now, and always 'hoping' for better results, we now find ourselves underwater. (Too bad we didn't sell yesterday!!) In the Utilities sector, we also hold BEP.UN (terrific gain, CPX (also underwater), and FTS (nice moderate gain). Once the dust settles, and we’re able to sell AQN, which of our other Utilities would you suggest to put the proceeds, or is there perhaps another Utility you’d recommend? Thanks as always for your timely advice.
