Q: I am currently holding WPK after having switched to it from CCL.B a few months ago when it seemed to get a bit over valued. I just noticed that there seems to be some negative correlation on these two stocks and I don't really understand why that would be since I always thought that these companies were very similar. Can you explain this and do you think it is a good time to start getting back in to CCL.B or should I just stick with WPK. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team,
I wanted to add a technology sector company and was wondering of the current stocks in the BE portfolio, which one has the most room to grow? They are all doing very well.
Thanks,
Andrew

Q: CCL is roughly flat over the last 12 months and down significantly in October even after reporting what I would consider decent earnings. I understand the sector rotation going on after the US election might have played a part in October's decline but are there other things going on that are of concern? Is the debt level a concern? The stock just keeps drifting lower. I have half a position and was wondering if now would be a good time to purchase the other half?

Q: Hi folks,I am perplexed by trading of Amaya,currently in $19's when the $24 takeover offer seems like a slam dunk. Am I missing something?? I have 400 shares at $20.20,held thru thick & thin and don't understand why stock would not be trading at or near $24 range.Why shouldn't I buy more in $19's and tender to $24 offer,thanks for clarifying situation for me,jb

Q: Having just lost a pile of dough on Cipher (moved on as suggested) And having averaged down my cost on BOS a month ago, I am now down 48 per cent on BOS. I can hold for four more years if you think the company has merit. I don't need to sell am sitting on a lot of cash. But I am not mentally prepared for a 75 per cent loss. Do you think it can have a better 2017 or take my loss. Thanks for your sage advice.

Q: I was encouraged by Avigilon's quarterly performance until I compared profits with history and looked at actual earnings per share rather than the adjusted earnings per share shown. Actual was only $0.08. I questioned to myself the adjustments which increased the earnings to $0.21. Also, compared to history, there was nothing outstanding solely in terms of earnings per share. The only positive I see is record revenue but to me a huge revenue is not worth a lot unless it translates into profits. Perhaps I am missing something but I see no reason to continue to hold my shares in this company. I did not follow your advice and did average down with an average purchase price of $21.38 per share. Do you share my thoughts on this company? Thank you
Ed
