Investment Q&A

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

Q: After your recent comment on CJT, I started to check out this company. The story sounds really good - near monopoly in overnight air shipping boosted by increased trend in online shopping - though as you say the stock is expensive. But I note that there has been massive insider selling over the past year. Is this just a routine part of share compensation or is this a red flag ?

Q: Hi. Can I have your opinion on Instructure (NYSE: INST), a US educational software company? I could not find any question on that company in the database. It provides cloud-based Learning Management Software (LMS) to institutions to administer and deliver online courses, track learning outcomes, teacher-student interactions, etc. They also a product targeted to corporations for training employees and developing skills. The stock seems to be performing very well. It is on my watch list and I am intrigued by it because I am a big user of LMS at my University. Thank you.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I have a bit of cash in an account that very closely tracks the "Balanced Equity Portfolio". My weightings in GUD and CLS are a bit light now due to their share's pulling back. Both stocks look cheap to me and tax loss selling season is likely helping to suppress them. I would appreciate your opinion of adding to these two names. Thank you for your sage advice. DL

Q: Regarding Sprott Asset management inc purchasing CEF.A and common shares. A quick reading of the plan of arrangement seems to indicate that in the default option (do nothing) CEF.A units will be converted to trust units of the new entity (SII ?) on a one to one basis, and that no payment will be made to CEF.A units owners. Is this a correct interpretation ?
