Q: Hello,

Since the last question, insiders have continued to buy, and debt seems to be more manageable now, at least according to TD Bank / ThomsonReuters. I'd be grateful to hear any update in your thinking on this one, half a year later.

On a related note, I've noticed over the years that CFOs tend to buy less than other officers, such as CEOs and Directors. Is it stretching things to assume CFOs are more conservative by nature, and that significant insider buying by a CFO is a slightly stronger indicator than by another officer? Am curious to hear your take.

Please deduct two credits.

Thanks,

Marc.

Q: SKE just came out with a news release stating that they are doing a 1:4 share rollback. I believe they are doing this so they can list on the NYSE.

I used to own this one but sold at a profit. I nevertheless may buy back at some point.

I noticed 2 dates were mentioned - June 7 and June 10. Can you explain what will happen and when exactly? Also, I have often seen stock prices go down (at least temporarily) after these rollbacks. Do you anticipate that the share price will go down with this rollback?

Q: good afternoon - with all the news on hacking and ransomware attacks I have become concerned with the safety of my investment accounts and I expect many of your members will share this concern. How worrisome is this for individual investors? For those, like myself, who deal with a major bank ( RBC Direct, etc) I assume the banks provide cybersecurity at their end but what about at my point of access to my accounts. I currently use a commercial password protection program but wonder if I should be doing more. This may be out of your field of expertise but you are likley wary about protecting your own accounts and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. many thanks , al

Q: Hi. There seems to be some confusion between a “ gaming “ company and a “ gambling “ ( or betting ) company. For example, EGLX is involved in gaming while WYNN is involved in gambling. Two very different activities. Derek
