Investment Q&A

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

Q: Well the stock is getting hit really hard today. Is a 40% drop justified in your opinion? Unfortunately I still hold a small position having sold most of my shares earlier this year when the shorts were pounding the table on this company. What is your sense about continuing to hold the shares? The other concern has to do with the dividend. Do you believe that it will be maintained or is a cut probable?

Q: Hi, BGC Partners is traded in the US and I've held it for a many years and have been happy with its progress (both stock appreciation and business performance in general). However, lately it has been trading sideways and I'm unsure why this is? Do you see this as a further buying opportunity, or are there warning flags?

On a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being the highest, where would you place BGCP in terms of risk?

Thanks,

Cam

Q: I invested in Posera Ltd. in the summer as a longer term turnaround play and the stock has doubled since. They are now breaking even on Adjusted EBITDA basis and the CEO just bought 787,000 shares at twice my cost base. The Company has about $18 million in annual sales with good prospects of sales growth in 2017. What are your thoughts on this speculative investment? Should I continue to hold?
