Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter, further on IBI Group (IBG), this seems odd, with such a negative Q3 report containing the following guidance:

"As a result of the above efforts, EBITDA1 for the fourth quarter is expected to result in the Company's highest to date."

That would be a pretty quick turnaround, wouldn't it? What do you make of the guidance? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter,

WOF has been a trading range for quite some time. Do you think a buy at the 32 cent level is a good bet. What would be the fundamentals to buy this company now as if people know the potential wouldn't they have bumped up the price already. Thanks

Q: My wife and I (she-RRSP), (me-RRIF)buy our stocks online with Qtrade. We are considering buying bank stock and doing the DRIP. We were also considering SPP, but the stocks have to be in our name. We're not bright enough to figure out how we can do the SPP and DRIP for a moderate amount of banks shares to start without incurring the wrath of the CRA. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dale

Q: Hello Team,
I read where Leons [LNF] is buying The Brick. The commentary I read referenced Target's entry into Canada. I don't see Target as being furniture & household furnishings focused. Can I have you initial thoughts on this transaction? Thanks.....Ron

Q: In order to protect himself from the dire future that he envisages for the US economy, Rogers has stated that he will invest in commodities, such as crude oil. “The commodity index is such that crude’s price will stay higher than most people expect and also it will go very high.”

The above quotation attributed to the well-known commodity expert Jim Rogers indicates Rogers favours commodities, and oil particularly. These views were uttered since the election of Barrack Obama. Do you think Rogers is a bit too much bullish on oil ?
