Investment Q&A

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

Q: Any idea of when this stock will be trading again? Have you ever seen an auditing scandal with a happy ending? You would think this would be trading below $1 when trading eventually reopens. Also, could this company face litigation from shareholders who were obviously duped? Looks fishy with the American headquarters (ie why list in Canada when the American Market is much larger)

Q: Further to Chris suggesting Morningstar, I also use it and find it great except if you add to a position. It doesn't blend the two transactions together but rather lists them as separate purchases, which is annoying. You have to do paper calculation to arrive at blended price and then enter as a total new purchase and delete the original entry.

Q: For those Globe investor users looking for an alternative watchlist following their changes I can recommend Morningstar.ca which is free to use. It allows you to enter the number of shares owned and will show you total portfolio value, daily change in value, stock weightings, etc. You can also enter cost if you want to track gains and losses and measure performance. For my purposes, this site was much better than Globe investor and financial post.

Q: I own ENGH in a taxable account with a 200% gain. I also own CSU, DSG, SHOP and ZQQ all 5 stocks with a 4% weighting. I have a long time frame and wondering if you would suggest selling ENGH and replace with what IT stock? To offset some of the 200% gain, I could sell ENB and AQN which are both below my cost base and repurchase them in 30 days.

Q: Hi. In the Financial sector, I own BNS (5%), TD (5%), GSY(3.2%), ECN(3.3%) and Visa (2.4%). Is the banking sector too high? If I need to sell, which one should go first? Is GSY and ECN very similar in nature? Should I own both? Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
1. Your reply to a previous question on Stars Group was not very positive yet you indicated it was okay to step in. Please elaborate as the Russian market is a top market, "On the conf. call, TSGI indicated that new Russian banking rules may hinder growth there, one of its top markets. We would be OK stepping in with the decline.

Q: Someone from another stock discussion forum has stated that although SJ reported $0.74 EPS this was a result of a one-time $30M cash benefit, effectively making earnings $21.1M net income for Q4 rather than the reported $51.1M. Thus, without the cash benefit EPS came in at only $0.30 (below estimates of $0.31).

Is this accurate, and/or a fair way to assess the results? In light of this is it more reasonable to view today's results as more of a miss than a beat, as today's market action seems to suggest?
