Investment Q&A

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

Q: I was disturbed by Bruce's question re US citizens owning 'foreign' stocks. My wife and I are both dual Candian/US citizens and we live in Canada. We own 100% Canadian dividend stocks in a joint portfolio, two TFSAs and a RIF. We will not buy US stocks as the IRS takes 20% of the dividend right off the top while the Canadian tax man gives us a break on dividends. Do you know of any problems we might face, other than paying our accountant about $1700 a year to fill out our ridiculously complicated income tax returns?

Q: Peter, I currently hold aya, avo, syz, sum and rfc in a small cap portfolio that is doing very well. I realize the risk in that group but am ok with it for now. I am considering switching RFC for Lonestar as the valuation is getting up there. Your thoughts please or is there another high growth company you prefer such as DHX? Thanks for this great service.

Q: Good morning, I hold a small position in Easyhome (EH) and I am thinking of adding to the position. However the price has been selling off for 3 weeks and is now below $13.50, well below the recent financing of $14.85. I am wondering if there is a problem that I am not aware of. Can I get your thoughts?
Thanks, Tim.

Q: Your excellent service is much appreciated.
I do not understand the hammering that Easyhome (EH) is suffering this morning. Their earnings look good to me and the financing at $14.85 doesn't appear to be out of line. The drop to $13.23 is puzzling.
Should I try to catch the falling knife and average down?

Q: Hi Peter, Just wondering about the #'s from EQI, if you could comment; as well as the response they had to Smoothwater.
Finally, what was with the conference call...11 minutes long! It's like they were paying by the second.

Thanks as always...

Q: So further to my BAD question this morning, Rifco Inc. (RFC) reported earnings this morning. Things on the surface seem great as well, but loan losses increased and op expenses which could potentially eat into margins; cashflow overall is up. So for this company, for future reporting's, monitor loan loss and expense creep and that cashflow is in a comparable range? - Cheers.

Q: The merger with Mitel drew my attention to the cloud as an area of growth and I looked for smaller companies for greater zip. Does Sphere 3D Corp (ANY-V) seem like a reasonable company for growth? Bryon in Elmira

Q: Do you have any market intelligence on a potential market pull back?
Are there any known upcoming events that would escalate a pull back?
If and when a pull back occurs, what percentage will the markets drop? I know you don't have a crystal ball, just looking for your gut feel/market instincts.
Thanks!

Q: Badger Daylighting Ltd. (BAD), reported this morning. Thank-you again for highlighting this company as it continues to grow. From what I have learned to look at this company seems to be doing all things right. I realize it is a growing company and by my review doing well, but is there anything I should be looking at in there results that indicate weakness. I mean they cannot be doing everything right correct? - Cheers.
