Investment Q&A

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

Q: I do not know why a loss on A&W psychologically hurts more than the joy derived by seeing most of my other 5i equities that have increased by more than three times the loss. Also I find it hard to sell my losers when I should(there is always hope)and the need to keep my winners when they should be trimmed. Selling my winning and paying bank stocks (too much over indulged in) and putting the funds into XGD (which I should and did) is contrary to all my instincts but is rationally correct. Boy, his is tough!!

Thank you for the appropriate, timely advise and guidance, without which things would surely go awry.

Q: Based on your Jan. 15, 2017 research report - when AW.UN was trading at $38.20 and your continuing good comments on AW.UN. I bought the stock on what I thought was recent weakness at $36.28.
So I feel blindsided by your email on June 1 removing AW.UN from your income portfolio. Also as a buy and hold investor I found your rational for selling somewhat weak and surprised a replacement was not recommended. Please comment. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Sorry for another A&W question, but do you think the Ontario government's plan to raise the minimum wage to $15.00 will hurt this stock (as well as others in this space)? I suppose that A&W could raise their prices, but they already seem to be at the high end pricing of the quick-service-restaurant space.

Thanks as always for the pertinent advice.

Q: i agree with stevens question on knight.
i owned 40,000 shares of knight, i have been in since 6.00, now i have only 12,000 shares.i did well but honestly i expected more.
it is unlikely that jonathan goodman will do anything with his 760 million stash in 2017 , he is looking to buy something for almost nothing and what bothers me more than anything, is he raised money 4 times diluted the stock each time and then did nothing with the money and he clearly states it is a stock for your grandkids, so we could be waiting a decade or more and he also says paladin took 19 years to payoff.
my question is do you think maybe you are being too optimistic on this company especially since you have it in 2 portfolios.dave

Q: Knight Therapeutics (GUD) is my largest holding. Each morning, I get up and while doing the usual ten minute standing ab routine to get going, I wonder what Johnathan Goodman is doing. Unlike me, he has about $760M in cash in his pockets and, again unlike me, he seems unwilling to part with it. I completely understand this is a long term investment and I look at it as a form of security for our future but if he were to go out and buy "someone big" with a product line and a sales force, I can't help but dream that this stock will multiply significantly. Can you send him a message and tell him to start doing those ab exercises. He needs to get moving.
Am I being a little impatient and do you see any signs of activity that might be remotely encouraging?
Thanks.
