Investment Q&A

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

Q: BAD - I have two problems. First, the $7.4M charge represents 33% of cash flow. Second, the DU liability is valued at another $21M as a current liability on the B/S. How do I estimate the cash flow impact of the plan as it continues to vest? Rewarding mgmt for stock performance is great and aligns their interests with mine, but when 33% of the operating cash flow disappears I become a little concerned. Plus I cannot get a handle on the future liability this plan represents.

Q: The ‘don’t buy’ category of ‘C’

Just reading your new LIQ report,and noticed this remark. I hadn't realized there might be verbal interpretations of the high school grades. Is there a section somewhere on what the letter grades might infer?
Or, obviously we should just read the whole report each time to understand the nuances of each situation.

Thanks,
Marilyn

Q: 5i Team, I owned Paladin, held my shares, and now own ENDO INTERNATIONAL PLC. Two part question: 1. There seems to be two symbols: ENL.TO and ENDP. I understand that one trades on TSX and one trades in US, but I can't resolve the difference in price and volume. Right now the TSX listing trades at roughly $78 and the US listed roughly $70. Shouldn't TSK be lower, not higher. Also, very dramatic volume differences. I took no action with Paladin shares, so would I now by default own the TSX listed shares? 2. Is the long term outlook for ENDO good enough for me to continue holding them. I have no other health care stocks. I am tempted to sell, but only because I feel a bit lost at sea, now that you no longer cover the new company. If the outlook is decent, I will probably continue to hold.
Thanks
Ditto to all the wonderful comments you get on your service.

Q: I had a real nice shock to wake up to this morning, HYG opened up down 22% and BAD opened up down 6.5% the initial cost on BAD was $40. HYG had a public offering of $15 why would they do this when the stock was at $21.40 the day before? this is not the first time this has happened to me, approx. a year ago COM did something similar and so did BTO gold, is this the norm? if you buy a stock you run the risk of things like this happening I have had an online account for about 10 years and have lost a lot more money than I have ever made but since you opened up this great service I have decided to stay with the account because I have somebody that will give me valuable information going forward. Thanks, Dennis

Q: My family and I recently sold a piece of property and we have 200,000 that we would like to invest in a portfolio. I was thinking of purchasing 20 different companies over the next 6 months or so to be diversified.

In an ideal portfolio what type of weighting would you allocate for each sector? Is 20 companies enough to be diversified but also manageable? Also, would it be a good idea to have a mix of small cap (growth), big cap and dividend focused stocks? This portfolio would be used for our savings and I hope to have it for years to come.
Thanks

Greg
