Investment Q&A

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

Q: I'd appreciate your take on Premier Health which no analyst seems to cover. I discovered it while searching for other publicly-traded companies that use OSCAR as a platform for their electronic medical record (EMR) offerings.

WELL Health has been very clear that they are in the hunt for OSCAR-related assets - it so happens that PHGI has three of them (JunoEMR, KindredEHR and ClinicAid). They also have a couple of other assets that WELL would like to have or planning to develop (e.g. 4 clinics, a patient portal, telemedicine, a medical billing app, 2 pharmacies, interactive kiosks, etc.).

Q: Hi, I've held ISRG for a few years now, am up 25% but was honestly expecting more. It's traded largely sideways since Sept of 2018. 5i and I both seem to have similar (great) expectations for this company, but they just can't break $620 or so.

I'm tempted to dump ISRG and pick up some IHI which includes a number of other seemingly great companies that are on my watch list. However, I keep thinking ISRG is on the brink of its next big leg up. From my research, I have ISRG at the bottom of its long term channel - which if it holds - would have stock price growth at 40% from here...

Help me decide: hold (even add) to ISRG, or dump it and pick up IHI. Perhaps a bit of column A and column B?

Q: As a follow-up on a question re investment information - my favourite by far is barchart.com, especially for momentum investors although others may find it useful as well. The US site is a bit more detailed than the Canadian one, but that is not much of a drawback. So much easily available information, handy tools, screeners, etc. I used to like the globe.com/investing site, but much of it is behind a paywall.

Q: Hi 5I,

Looking for a couple stocks in this sector to add to my PBH and ATD holdings. Ideally I would like companies with good Dividend Growth and reasonable valuations. I was looking at MRU, L, and MFI, or any others you may have thoughts on.

Thx,
Chris M.

Q: For members who want to see short interest, the website https://ceo.ca/ displays it. Search by ticker or just add the ticker to the URL, e.g. https://ceo.ca/LSPD. The current short interest is shown upper left and if it is up or down from last report. A two-year short interest history is available by clicking on the current number or the short history icon. Their number for LSPD matches the one you provided in your answer to Bruce earlier today. I assume the 1.1% short in your answer is percentage of the float, not total share count. This site shows only total share count.

Q: Recent XYL results and the stock drops 7%. I've held for years and it has been one of my more volatile and poorer performing stocks. Yet even after today's action I'm up 15%.

I really want to own XYL largely b/c I firmly believe we'll need more 'engineered' water solutions. However, I'm ready to sell and try something different.

Please tell me why I should continue to hold XYL and not sell to buy WAT, AWK, DHR or and ETF like PHO.

Thx.

Q: Aside from the obvious demographic appeal of increasing demand for Savaria's products for aging persons with disabilities, it strikes me that as seniors have increasing need for cash flow in later years, they will turn more and more to reverse mortgages. This will lock them in as long as they can live in the financed home. That said, faced with disabilities that might otherwise force them to leave their home, purchasing Savaria's products will be the only solution. Do you agree? Do analysts understand this market force?
