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 new here in 5i and I noticed that you keep Methanex in your BE portfolio. I bought MX exactly a year ago and now I am down over 70% on this one. It's in the registered account, so tax sale wouldn't help recover losses. Also, I really don't want to sell at these levels, though I had this emotional response at every drop, wish I didn't. However, you guys are investment professionals, so, leaving emotions aside, I am wondering what motivates you to keep MX in BE portfolio despite terrible performance (I think only VET was worse stock than MX this year)? Do you see any chances or recovery here? It looks like investors gave up on MX as the stock is down 50% in the past 20 days (incl. 22% drop today).

Q: Was thinking of buying GSY in TFSA now that it has dropped to the 53$ mark. My only real concern is that we go into a recession and loan losses increase. Seems that their loans go towards higher risk borrowers and with possible job losses / lay-offs during a recession the ability to repay these loans decreases. Am I thinking correctly?

Q: Hello
I hold both stocks and liked them so far. I am considering back some more stocks with both stocks currently down with this market volatility.
With the corona virus fear and probably a recession, how do you see both companies outlook based on their overall earnings and management.
Do you still consider PKI as a good growth stock?
Do you suggest waiting for more downturn before buying them ?
Thank you

Q: The TD report on TOY earnings says:
Q4/19 Results: A Self-inflicted Trip to the Penalty Box
(owing to an ill-advised transition to a new DC during its peak selling season).
TD is famous for using acronyms in their reports. DC?
Confusing. Can you explain what transition they are talking about?
Thanks

Q: Lightspeed just closed a $175M financing a couple of days before the meltdown. Great timing for them and their large shareholders who also sold some stock.
Would you buy this stock now at $30? It's up from $18, the 52 week low but more than one-third down from their $49 high. What do you think?

Q: I would like to start a small position in GC, in a corp account that is not looking for a dividend (5+ year time horizon). In your opinion, is GC a good longterm hold and is now a good time to buy? Can you please give me some insight into why they are buying back shares - is there a chance they wish to delist and become a private company? As always, thank you for your comments.
