Investment Q&A

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

Q: Why are the BAM.A group of companies (BAM.A, BPY.UN, BEP.UN, BIP.UN) all of which I own, are under such selling pressure of late? I know they will be releasing quarterly results either this week or next but this seems to be the more than pre earnings release sell-offs I've seen with other companies?

Any possible reasons would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Skyworks was a company Bruce Tatters had recommended on BNN. I asked you about it a few months ago, and you seemed to think it was alright. It seems to me that it is a recipe to lose money. What is your opinion of it now?

Also, what do you expect when DRT reports? Will it be a good or a bad report? (rather than a numerical answer)This stock last quarter went up for a few days and then went right back down. It also had a big drop on April 29th. If you think that the quarter will be fine, I will hold on to it and watch it carefully.

Thanks for the good advice. I spend a lot of time reading your question & answer section, and have learnt a lot from 5i Research.

Q: Intermap, IMP is a small Canadian mapping company that I own a small position in, as it is being touted quite heavily in another newsletter I subscribe to.

There's lots of talk about the mega deal they signed, how much of it will actually end up with IMP as profit, and whether they'll land another whale or two. Talking like $2 is reasonable...

Thoughts from 5i?

Q: What are the differences between stocks that are listed as ABC.A or ABC.B? For example as in Chorus.A and Chorus.B. I know that they usually imply voting or non voting shares but could you please expand their status more specifically and how do they effect investment potential and which are preferred and when. What does voting or non voting actually mean and when are each the best investment? Your informed comment please.

Q: This is an information question. I am wondering what software would you recommend for tracking securities, buying and selling. Also is there software that deals with the adjusted cost basis of stocks. Thank you.
