Investment Q&A

Q: Have you any insights into this company? The board looks impressive and the stock has been strong lately.
I assume they are not profitable and in early stages.
Anything more than pure spec?

Q: Could you give me your opinion on MBA CIBT Education Group Inc.

Q: I repeat my question. I am an aggressive growth investor and would like to know if these 4 companies fit my profile. Realizing that you do not my portfolio, I would still like you to
forward your favourite 6 or so growth companies. Unless you have a compelling case, I do not invest in resources ( mining, gold, oil/gas ).

Q: Could I get your opinion on ADN - I am looking at a small position to be held mainly for the dividend with some hope of small capital gains. Can you tell me what their payout percentage is, insider ownership, potential impact by US lumber talks, and is it a take-over candidate (I think I've heard this somewhere)?
Thank-you

Q: I have a question about ATD.B.Was it the increase in debt from the acquisition from Imperial Oil that caused the drop in share price today or profit taking or something I'm unaware of? By the way my portfolio is up more than 52% so far this year, in no small measure, because of your sage advice.Thanks, as always.

Q: XTC (Exco Tech.): beaten down, low PE, low debt., good ROE, met last Q expectations & missed previous three. Would this be a good long term buy at some point soon?

Q: Would you agree this still happens daily?

For well over 100 years there have been stock manipulators, stock operators and stock traders...such as one of the classic and considered the best all time operators, and he did it back in the ~1910 - 1920 era, Jesse Livermore who was more concerned with beating the market, specific stocks & futures, than actually concerned about making $$$ even though he could and did routinely make millions in a year back in say 1920!

They, the "movers" will move a stock - buying or selling some - to get it moving and then once other investors, such as retail investors and institutional investors, take notice and start buying into the stock the "movers" starts selling or close their short for a profit.

This is often all that is happening when a stock moves and there is no news or incident to be found. Most "Investors" want to know why for everything but in reality there is nothing to know other than movers doing their daily business of attempting to make $$$ in the market.

There are so many different interests and money making approaches used from around the world.

Not everything is explainable. Such as why GUD or CSU is rising lately. Note CSU is down today as it just hit a resistance level from before. Kinda predictable I think from a technical perspective.

Have a great day.

Q: Hi Team,
What you think of CXI results ?

Q: I've been struggling to find out what to do with all the cash I was holding in my portfolios so a while back I used VDY as sort of a money market fund,for me that's pretty conservative. I realize that VDY is basically buying the tsx financial sector, I'm up about 4-5% with this right now but do realize that with a correction in the financials it could come down some. I'm looking for something "safer" to park my money in.

Q: I own this stock and I am concerned about the number of insiders selling this stock. Would appreciate your comments. With thanks, Bill
