Investment Q&A

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

Q: Prometic is refilling an amendment to the BLA for plasminogen in H2 2019. If approved this orphan drug with fast track designation comes with a priority voucher possibly worth 100 million. Lazard has 2 deals to close in H2 as well which depend on approval. That said they need cash badly and announced an eminent debt restructuring. There at 20 cents today. What's your best guess on what happens to the float and share price after this. Do they have to give the company away at these to raise 100 million when possibly 200 million is coming their way this year.

1. good diversified global exposure
2. low or no dividend

Does BAM.A fit this criteria?
Hopefully you can suggest many more for me to look at.

Q: I own 1500 SHS of BIP.UN in my non-registered account and a 1000 of the other in a registered account. I noticed that my Mar. distribution for BIP.UN was $1012.00 not 1500 x .5025 = $753.75? This is what> The difference is ROC? These type of securities should probably be held in a registered account, I would think? Very complicated at tax time with the T5013. Unfortunately, you cannot exchange securities - ie. BIP.UN to registered account in exchange for securities of same value. BIP.UN has been an awesome investment.

Q: Hi, a follow up to my last question, were there any periods where the yield curve inverted in the last 20 years, but didn't lead to a recession? Do you by chance have the dates or chart on that?

Q: Enjoying the portfolio analytics service so far, it is really showing what sectors I am light and heavy in.
The portfolio analyzer is saying I am quite underweight in the consumer defensive area. What would be some of your current 2-3 favorites, Canadian and US.

Q: News yesterday BAM has $2B deal with China in real estate. Make people think the story in the dark room. Sources indicate the seller(s) on the other side of the deal are not private own Corp, is it the another political motive deal? Indirectly related with recent tensions with China?
Over the years, looking the rear view mirror, it looks like these corps are acting as liberal’s “friends”/banks/lobbyists, they are too big to fail and same time they are not for shareholders best interest.
