Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am curious about investment strategist Edward Chancellor’s idea that a sector with recent huge inflows of capital is quite likely to see an oversupply and price collapse (e.g. perhaps a partial explanation for behaviour of ‘green’ stocks during last several years). How could the average investor obtain data or insight into current sector capitol allocation? In that context, do you see any sectors that currently might be particularly vulnerable, or alternatively at an advantage, within this theoretical scenario?

Q: Hi, I was wondering if I can get your opinion on these stocks I'm holding losses on ATZ down 50%, ENPH down 25%, CROX down 25% and GSY down 20%.
I did tax loss selling last year in late December which bit me hard when the stocks took off in January with me sitting on the sidelines. Should I consider selling any of these now with the intention of buying back in 30 days and harvesting the tax loss? If so which would you suggest selling and which would you buy back? Short of that would you suggest averaging down on any of these instead? Thanks in advance! Take as many credits as you wish.

Q: Hello, what are the reasons that constellation made 2 spinoff (topicus and lumine) in the past years ? Why did they not keep everything under one roof and continue to grow constellation instead and follow the same path like Berkshire Hathaway that never did a spinoff.

Q: Hello Peter,
Do you still see both Topicus and Lumine Group as long term holds or should i just buy CSU and add more to my existing shares? If oil companies decide to privatize, how would the investor share price be reflected? Does the company buy out our portion of shares and at what price (current price of market).. Lastly, any comments on baytex would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: Hi guys!

Thank you for your work.

If you had to describe the current market direction (up, down, sideways, don't know) how would you describe it?

Would you suggest 5 highish likelihood stocks ready for a bit of a rebound within the next few weeks/months?

Suggestion: We learn from our mistakes. Is there any chance you could have a page that notes all of 5i's misses (along with the explanation)?

I have been getting some bullish scuttlebutt on CIX. Would you give me your opinion on CIX's future...and likelihood it will get to $30?

Q: Hi 5i
Each of these stocks represent between 2-3 1/2 % of my
portfolio.
Thinking of boosting some up to between 4 1/2 to 5%.
None are at a loss.
Any thoughts of an order to do this?
Thx
Gerry
