Investment Q&A

Q: re: SUM

Almost an 8% drop in 2 days and a 15% drop in 30 days. Back in Feb while tracking I had a target price in mind of $6.75. Today it is at $6.48 but considering the big drop, now I am in a sit and wait/nervous to pull trigger mode. Has anything in particular happened to explain such a significant fall? Especially in the last couple of days. Or do you think this is investors still reacting to the CEO selling of shares?

Thank You

Gord

Q: Peter/Ryan:
Do you have a preferred vehicle for holding gold and silver bullion within registered accounts? Are there bullion funds that you would recommend? I have to date used the Sprott gold and silver bullion funds (SPR216/316). They invest primarily in "unencumbered, fully allocated" bullion, which is important to me.

Q: Hi Peter & Team,
Almost all the gold stocks went down today. Is that a sign to jump off the "gold" wagon.
Thanks,
Morris

Q: Hi! Your thoughts on the LNV-SGY deal?

Q: In his recent shareholders letter, Warren Buffett gave this advice: "My money, I should add, is where my mouth is: What I advise here is essentially identical to certain instructions I’ve laid out in my will. One bequest provides that cash will be delivered to a trustee for my wife’s benefit. (I have to use cash for individual bequests, because all of my Berkshire shares will be fully distributed to certain philanthropic organizations over the ten years following the closing of my estate.) My advice to the trustee could not be more simple: Put 10% of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund. (I suggest Vanguard’s.) I believe the trust’s long-term results from this policy will be superior to those attained by most investors – whether pension funds, institutions or individuals – who employ high-fee managers." He doesn't suggest putting the money in BRK.
As a portfolio manager what would your thoughts be. I understand his wife is 66-67yrs old.
Thanks
Mike

Q: AYA has been dropping day after day up to their disappointing earnings. In fact, it's been down 1.5% to over 2% almost every day for the past ten days. Now we get a huge drop on earnings. Since you didn't know anything, this tells me their earnings disappointment wasn't known on the street. That in turn suggests a lot of insider trading by those who were given this information. Personally, I want nothing to do with such companies, and I'm wondering if you're reconsidering its inclusion in your portfolio.

Q: Hello,

Would you ever consider doing a US Equity Model Portfolio?
Many of the questions I have asked have been about US companies, and the advice I received has been amazing, my returns have been incredible.

Q: re: XEG
I bought this a few years ago for growth
I found out that the energy sector is very cyclical
I am finally very near to breaking even (the 2% dividend helps)
The trend has been upward in the last few months
what is your outlook for XEG ?
I also owns Suncor, CNQ, HSE (all have gained 20%)
As for gas, I have ALA which has also gained 30%
The COS is the weak link in my portfolio, it has lost
over 20% though the trend has been up recently

could you kindly comment on the seasonal trend for XEG ?
much appreciated !
I might sell it and put it in something else, looking for
a decent timing to do it
Thanks

Q: Although Amaya has had a bad quarter the outlook for revenue growth is encouraging; which should probably improve gross margins too as the margins declined on administrative and general expenses which normally would not grow at a similar pace. Is today the time to average down?

Q: Do you have any further info on CHW since March 18 - it continues to fall

Q: AYA Buy, sell or hold. Thanks

Q: Dear Peter and Team: What do you think of Kelso's (KLS) results and prospects?

Q: I would appreciate your comments on Surge Energy's (SGY) takeover of Longview. Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello,
Which stocks out of the new Model Portfolio would you consider high growth?
Thanks

Q: Your take on the SGY deal. .. And still a good or better investment now... Thx

Q: Aya I already own it and down pecent. After todays result do you advise adding more or sell or just wait. Thanks

Q: Hi folks,could we please get a more detailed answer to Q results for Amaya besides "little disappointing" and your future thoughts on company. Q was huge miss imo and to see stock go from $9+ just couple weeks ago to $6.11 today is very concerning, especially when we had two days recently when stock had big 10+ dip in stock price,albeit to recover but stock has been in steady decline lately. Stock has been analyst darling but to me, is now a "show me" stock and likely to languish from here. Sorry longwinded but am I reading to much into results and recent trading, almost seemed like somebody knew Q results were going to be bad and bailed while "the going was good". Thanks as always jb
