Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Peter,
Avigilon has, rather quietly, doubled in price since its lows of this past November. I'm probably almost back to my break-even point. (Though yes, I realize the stock doesn't know that.) Last November, I would have jumped at the chance to get out of the investment 'even'. But if the recent gains portend good things ahead, I'm fine with holding. What are your current thoughts on the company for a longer term hold? Thank you!

Q: Home Capital has given many billions of loans over the last 4 years. In the event that a large number of loans were fraudulent, and the executives have covered-up the truth, I imagine that at this very moment, thousands of borrowers could be running behind in their payments, and eventually default. If that happens, who would take over those mortgages? Big-banks don't deal with those profiles, so which financial would absorb those loans?

Q: As a place for short term cash I have the max amount in Oaken Financial, that is covered by CDIC. Being that it is owned by Home Capital, and the news from there seems to be mostly negaive lately, would it be better to move to another high interest savings account for a holding tank. I don't want to have to go through the CDIC to get my money.
Do you have another suggestion?
I really do appreciate your service, and have begun to rely on it, so Thank You.

Q: I know you longer have CGX in your portfolio but if one want to keep this stock and is 7% of the portfolio should I sell to make it a 3% holding? It is in my daughter TFSA and do wonder if she should sell all and replace with one of technology stock as she has only PHO.V as her technology holding and has many years hopefully before needing the money.

Thanks
Dolores
