Investment Q&A

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

Q: AYA... your favorite subject by now I am sure

I read your report and thank for that.... one comment which stood out for me was;

"We think AYA will eventually have to start ‘playing nice’ with the markets and release guidance at year-end to avoid this sort of decline."

Can you please provide additional explanation for this comment? Does this infer there is information management is not comfortable revealing? Or am I reading far too much into this .

Thank You

Gord

Q: Further to Steve's question and your response about when the dividend is paid to a shareholder, and particularly with reference to your comment “The easiest way to look at it is to only consider the ex dividend date. For Teck, this is June 12. If you have bought the stock prior to this date on the market, you will get the dividend. If you buy it after this date, you will not get the dividend on July 2. If you buy on June 11 and sell on June 12 you will still get the dividend.”
In my Direct Investing account, if I buy shares on the open market on a given day, they don’t actually appear on my ledger until about 3 days afterwards. Does this time lag have to be taken into account with reference to receiving the dividend? In your quoted example, if I bought the shares on June 11, I wouldn’t see them in my account until about June 14 or later. Would I therefore need to buy the shares on June 8 to make sure they were in my account prior to the ex-dividend date?

Q: good morning. I was wondering when a company announces that they are paying a dividend, for example; tck.b will be paying a dividend on July 2, for shareholders of record on June 16, my question is: Do I only need to own the stock on June 16 and can I sell it on the 17th or do I need to hold on to it until the pay out date to get the dividend?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, regarding Connacher, CLL, I just read that Garry Mihaichuk has been an independent director of the company since 2012 along with Glen D. Roane since this year, 2014, and that both are also currently on Badger Daylighting's, BAD, board as well, very interesting, any thoughts on these two individuals and how they can contribute to CLL's turn around considering their contributions to BAD's success?
Also, any thoughts on Gregory A. Boland, another independent director of CLL since 2012? He focuses on value and distressed investing and assists in restructuring companies. He seems to have a lot of skin at stake in CLL with 50 million shares owned or controlled?
Have you met or do you know any of the above mentioned individuals? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter! How do you explain Sphere 3D(ANY) today plunging - 8.8%, with the Pinetree rather positive announcement:
"Pinetree Capital Ltd. (TSX:PNP), announces that through a series of transactions that ending on April 25, 2014, it acquired ownership of 175,500 common shares ("Common Shares") of Sphere 3D Corporation ("Sphere") representing approximately 0.08% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of Sphere as of April 25, 2014. As a result of this transaction, Pinetree and its joint actors collectively held, as at April 25, 2014, an aggregate of 2,551,000 common shares of Sphere, including the Common Shares, and rights to acquire an additional 300,000 common shares of Sphere upon exercise of certain convertible securities (the "Convertible Securities"). Of these totals, Pinetree owns 1,581,000 common shares, including the Common Shares, and 250,000 of the Convertible Securities directly (the "Pinetree Convertible Securities"). In the event that the Convertible Securities are fully exercised, the holdings of Pinetree and its joint actors represents a total of 2,851,100 common shares of Sphere, or approximately 12.1% of all issued and outstanding common shares as at April 25, 2014, calculated on a partially diluted basis assuming the exercise of the Convertible Securities only."

Thank you.
