Investment Q&A

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

Q: I was watching BNN last night and they had Asian correspondents on talking about Cathay Pacific and all of the challenges they are having with earnings amid the unrest. My thesis (and what I would like you to comment on) is whether this might not be a time to buy into a company facing headwinds that are beyond its control but priced into the stock? I love flying on the airline and hope you can comment on the stock.

Q: Once the vote on conversion occurs, would you be able to provide members with an update,and explanation around tax implications? It appears there is some confusion around if taxes have to be paid upon conversion or at a later date when shares are sold. Also, what will the dividend be as under the current structure we receive interest
Thanks for the great service,and recommendation on Boyd.

Q: Hi,

I'm sitting with a 15% gain in Parklawn. I believe I bought on advice read hear so thank you. My question is whether it should continue to be held in a balanced portfolio or if you would exit a 5% position because a better opportunity exists elsewhere? To go one step further, I have done well on Medtronic and might like additional exposure to US healthcare. Could you recommend a) whether to sell PLC and b) what you might shift to if you agree with my alternative above?

Q: Just wondering what the expectations are for AYX next quarter. Looking at the past few quarters, the year over year comparison is going to be tough, given that last year's revenues almost doubled; December 2018. I never did figure out how much of this is related to changes in accounting standards for recognizing revenue. Any comments appreciated.

Q: This name came up last week. I was interested in it but didn’t buy it because I was worried that smart TVs would make the Roku devices unnecessary. Is that not a concern? I see that Roku also now sells smart TVs so perhaps that’s the answer. Also, how does one know when a stock like this has become over valued? How much run way do you see in this name for future appreciation? Thanks as always.

Q: "We are excited to see the addition of South Arturo to the Company's production profile, which is expected to positively affect our fourth quarter", stated Ewan Downie, President & CEO. "We continue to advance multiple improvements at Mercedes aimed at increasing production and reducing costs. Ongoing permitting initiatives at the Cove and Hardrock projects provide a peer-best organic growth profile that is further complemented by a portfolio of high-potential exploration-stage assets".
Question - Do you think PG is actually ready to start producing in a more meaningful way or is the above message just "more potential" noise? This company seems to have many interesting projects yet its share price does nothing. What do you think?

Q: I am seeing Buy ratings if not top picks on Boeing and wonder what 5i thinks about it. My question is whether or not you think most of the downside is priced in? What could cause a plunge (another accident obviously) but would a huge lawsuit against the company be something that isn't priced in? I have to think a leg up will occur when the Max 8 lifts off again. Please advise if you would buy and whether you agree with the thoughts above.
