Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hey Peter,

What stocks are new/exciting that folks are not asking about? I am looking for something to bolt on to my core holdings to add a little sizzle.

Q: Would you mind recommending any stocks to be purchased during tax-loss selling and few which may do well in 2014?
Read Answer Asked by S on December 01, 2013
Q: A suggestion rather than a comment. When searching the company reports, the indexes show the current rating beside all the entries for a company even if there have been more than one report. For example, the BAD report for May 8/12 shows the current rating of B+ whereas the actual report of May 8/12 was A-. If the index rating showed the actual rating at the time of each report this would provide a useful perspective re momentum.

Q: BAD

Now that BAD has reached $1B market cap, how much more interest could it get by the larger fund managers? Could you please comment on what the various Market Cap 'Goal Posts' are for a company such as Badger as they grow.

Thanks very much for a great service

Q: Peter and team, what is a good strategy for an RESP ? Child is 12. Account is $30k in a mix of individual stocks. Due to size of account and institution, trades are $25 per. Is there a few ETFs that make sense to replace individual equities, or would you mirror your model portfolio ? My apologies if this question has been answered before. I looked but could not find it. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Team: Do you think it is an appropriate time to buy a materials ETF, or should I wait?
On the subject of the number of questions: I think each question should pose essentially one focussed issue for your analysis. To ask for details on more than one stock is being greedy, but asking for a comparison of two similar stocks would be OK (in my opinion). Infrequent questioners who have multiple queries should pose multiple but separate questions.

Q: I just received a letter from lonestar about a special meeting to vote on changing the year end Which is okay. l noticed they are also proposing a stock option plan up to 10% of the floats. I like the idea of employees owning shares but is 10% a reasonable percentage. I would have thought 5% would be more reasonable. What is normal, reasonable while balancing incentives for employees while not watering down the # of shares.
I want to echo another reader concern. I write in very in frequently but may have multiple questions at that time.

Q: Peter, some of the equities rated highly by you have very high price/earnings ratios. Is this not an indication that a stock may be overpriced?

Q: I see that you’re interested in receiving comments, tips and suggestions regarding your Q&A section. I’m wondering if it might be easier for your subscribers (and staff) to divide up the questions into sections. One section for questions pertaining to 5i Report Companies, another section for General Questions and one for answers to BUY/SELL/HOLD (Fear/Greed) Questions. Or whatever works. These sections would make it easier to browse any answers related to the area of interest. I note that the View By Category section is good, however it does not include all 5i Report questions (those that you have issued reports on). Excellent service.
