Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, I am a new member. Does 5i introduce / time coverage on a new stock (i.e. A+ to C+ grade range), if and when the share price is relatively inexpensive or is it merely the market price in and around the time of the report issue? Example - does the $17.45 Price/Share in the newly issued May 9 stock report on MTY Food Group reflect a value price point to purchase shares? It is important to know how your coverage system works before I purchase shares. Thanks.

Q: Re: Insider buying (an odd question) Can you think of any other plausible explanation for insider buying (especially CEO, CFO, Board Member) than that the buyer is signalling that the shares purchased are attractively priced relative to future business prospects?

e.g. Skippen's recent purchases of WIN shares....

Q: I have a question about Wi-Lan

Hi Peter, regarding your response to Jim on May 10, wouldn't it be reasonable then to lower Wi-Lan's rating from A now or would you prefer to wait and see for the next few quarters? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, back in 2007 you spoke highly of 'PTS'- Points International. I bought on your recommendation at $3.45 it declined considerably and a while back it had a 1 for 10 reverse split. It has come back somewhat any thoughts on it now. I've recovered almost half of my investment, would you still hold it and where might it go from here. Thanks, Nick

Q: Hi Peter:

Thanks for your great work.

I have a question on a start up potash play - Karnalyte Resources - KRN-T.

Their reserve is just outside of Wynard, Saskatchewan & they plan to become the lowest cost producer in the world with new approach in technology. The IPO was in December 2010 at $8.60.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Don

Q: re: WIN - if one used the 10% stop-loss rule they'd be out of this one if purchased at %5.40 or less....investor sentiment is decidedly negative,seeming to give up on the "belief" in mananagment's ability to bring home the bacon...

How does a retail investor know the "truth" of the matter - should we hold on "faith" or let mr. market take us out of this one...

Thanks

Q: I would be considered a novice greenhorn investor. I did completet the CSC a number of years ago but have performed very little investing in the stock market. Being self employed for most of my life any available capital was invested in the business. I am preparing for when I will have available capital to invest and would like to know any books or web locations you might suggest that impressed you.

I thank you for your research and reports that are supplied with no conflict of interest, it is a clean reputable way of doing business. Some other former stock brokers etc. are supplying advice for a fee that appears to be clean of kick backs, trailer fees etc. would you comment on this new area of consulting advice for a fee.

Q: Hi Peter. I was wondering what you think of Legacy Oil & Gas (LEG.TO). Lots of short sellers in this one. I know you used to run funds with the ability to go long and short. Putting on your "short seller's cap", what would be the argument for someone to short this stock because from my perspective it looks cheap with good growth and a CEO with past success in making investors money.

Thanks,
Anthony
