Investment Q&A

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

Q: CSS Contrans. Similar to my Q on Healthlease I am in the same position with CSS. Thank you! usually I would by the buyer when it pulled back on the purchase but unfortunately that didn't happen. Do you have some stocks to suggest? Mullen Group perhaps?

TIA

Q: Hello 5 I Team

My US Margin Account presently represents only 1% of my total holdings. I intend to make contributions to it later in the year, but for now I would like to see the money "do something" while it's sitting there. Rather than engage in any futile stock picking, I thought I would invest in an ETF which could provide consistent, if modest growth. To that end, I had my eye on the new ETF Direxion iBillionaire Index ETF, (IBLN), or the Market Vectors Wide Moat ETF, (MOAT). I would appreciate your opinion on these choices -- or your suggestion as to what might be a better stock to hold in this context. Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Team,

Do you have any comments on Aimia Inc.'s latest results and would you still consider it relatively "safe" as a stock and bond holding? I have one of its bonds maturing in September and wonder if I should keep this company on my list of potential investments (either shares or another bond).

Many thanks, Michael

Q: JDSU Getting tired of holding. Am down 20 per cent in two separate accounts. Street did not like earnings. Starting to think it was a huge mistake buying this for a turnaround. Lots of cash but no catalyst except for possibility of a takeover. Are they in the same space as INVN Invensense? Thinking of switching to INVN. Does that make sense to you?

Q: Peter & Co.

Can I have your take on Pethealth's latest quarter (PTZ). I've been feeling frustrated with this holding lately. While revenue is coming along nicely, more often than not the bottom line is hit, from quarter to quarter, with "one-time" costs. I've been waiting a relatively long time now (~2 years) for consistent free cash flow from this company.

Also, what are your thoughts on the lack of a conference call.

Thanks very much,
Tom

Q: Asked for high yielding american companies earlier and one suggestion was SFL on the NYSE. I was considering NFSHF on pink sheets. How about it, and do you think there is any chance of an off shore oil renaissance.

Q: Can I get your take on CXS's earnings today. I'm down 20% over the last year, is it better to cut my losses and re-deploy the cash to one of ELW, BAD, AYA or PRW? I have 20+ yrs before I need these funds from my TFSA. Thanks for the great service you provide!
