Investment Q&A

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

Q: This is not a question but a remark on Alaris Royalty. You state in a reply to a member: (Date: Mar 02, 2017 07:16 AM), "we would be cautious on any company that has cut dividends in the past. AD has so we would rule it out for your restrictions". If Alaris has cut it's dividend sometime in the past, I can find no record of that happening. As a satisfied if frustrated owner of AD I would like you to specify when this cut occured please and Thank you.

Q: I noticed that ITP shows "share based compensation expense" every quarter (for several years) as an item to be excluded when calculating "adjusted earnings", thereby considerably increasing "adjusted earnings" over what would be otherwise. It is a reasonably consistent number, and a very large component of their earnings. It seems to be just a variable "employee expense". Is this sort of accounting common in financial reporting of "adjusted" earnings, and is it something to watch out for?

Q: 1) i am a little bit confused , is the growth portfolio = the summary
2) you said that you have trim ` SHOP (shopify) ` but dont see this stock in either portfolio (balanced, income or summary )
3) you added BSM TECH (gps) but again dont see in either portfolios
4) suggestion: when you add or delete a stock IT SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN THE PORTFOLIOS AT THE SAME TIME
THANKS

Q: I have a question about QIS. They've had really positive news recently. The stock responded by moving to new highs. That said, the price action is happening on low volume (16 K shares today). Looking at the valuation (Price/Sales, Price/Earnings for example), the price seems extended. counter that with seemingly very high growth. What do you think is a reasonable price or valuation to assign to this company given the growth profile.

Q: Just an endorsement: Subscribed yesterday to the ETF and Mutual Fund newsletter for two years and within an hour learned a couple things that will far more than pay for the subscription. I know there's lots of etf information available online, including within 5i. However, I find it beneficial to have it focused in one trustworthy place without ads, questionable motivations, or other distractions. So thanks!
