Investment Q&A

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

Q: The article you shared about the Canadian banks was an interesting read. I'm curious if you would buy any of the banks today, and if so which one and why? Its interesting to hear your thought process around whether you would go for the higher dividend payer that is more undervalued but limited short term growth, or the more US exposed fair valued, or international fair valued, or other reasons.

Q: It's frustrating to own a stock like EIS that is infested by the short sellers who have no scruples about the interests of other investors in order to get their loots.

Have there been prior class action suits of the shareholders taken the short sellers to court for compensation if their basis of shorting the company happens to be false or pure fabrications? Are there lawyers who specializes in these type of suits?

Just curious. After all the door should be able to swing both ways.

Q: A year or more back I read an article in the Globe that said if you wanted to exchange currency USD/CAD you could purchase an interlisted stock through an exchange in one country and then sell that stock through an exchange in the other country.

Is this correct and is it that simple? If I held RY, say, purchased on TSE could I place a sell order that specified it be sold on the NYSE? Just like a regular transaction - no phone calls, no special fees?

Q: I like PUR, but have one concern. Could you please estimate what % of PUR's revenues you believe are from government. Many services offered by Wachs Water Services and other PUR divisions are preventative in nature, targeted to detect a weakness in a pipeline before it becomes serious. My concern is that cash-strapped governments may want to, but decide they can't afford this service. I'd appreciate your comments on whether my concern is a "deal breaker" to not buy the stock. Thank you.
