Q: Between Nov 15 and Nov 18, one director sold 41000 shares of SIS , reducing his holding in his personal account to 76500 shares. proceeds $592000. He also divested 23667 shares from an account in which he has indirect ownership, eliminating this account position, proceeds $341000. Does it mean he has no confidence in this company? Could I have your comments please. Thanks a lot

Q: On Oct 30 Go Easy put out a press release about an enhancement to their credit facility by a syndicate of banks. Since then the stock has done well along with a positive earning release.

The question here is more educational but when the banks give out these credit facility and assuming they have an investment arm dealing in mutual funds etc is the exception for those fund mangers to buy GSY in their funds if it fits the fund profile? Trying to get a sense of the relationship here (if any)

Q: Hello 5i,
I sold NFI, PSI and CCL.A as tax losses on October 25. Should I buy them back now, just add to the positions I now have or are there other equity opportunities to consider in replacement. I am a retire, value, dividend investor, 60/40, evenly distributed with many from the INCOME MODEL PORTFOLIO.

Q: GDI: 5i seems to like this company at 30 x FPE, a lot of debt.. What am I missing? In general, I only buy large cap "dividend growers". I have only bought 2 growth type stocks before BAD and ACQ which I held for a few years and sold at huge profits - both never to return to their previous highs - so, never considered them core positions. The same would apply to GDI; however, a little gun shy on this one at these highs.

Q: Questions about two companies but with the same overriding issue - what to do when a company you liked, and continue to like, has dropped to become a smallish portion in your portfolio i.e. >2%. I try to maintain a focused portfolio but in both cases, these stocks have fallen due to their lack of performance while the rest of the portfolio has continued to perform. Is it best to top each up to at least a 2% - 2 1/2% position, just leave them or sell either/both?

I appreciate your insight.

Q: Good morning all,
In an earlier answer to Dave it was suggested that "we might sell ..... and one of KXS/CSU. For clarification does this mean that you somehow consider KXS and CSU somewhat equivalent? I was surprised to see these two companies considered as one or other type positions and would appreciate a bit of an explanation.
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: CSU.CA hit a new high yesterday. About 2 weeks ago they reported 3Q results where they missed projections. After the results the stock was slightly weak and now hits a new high. I am not complaining since we own the stock (thanks to you) but I am puzzled that the stock hit a new high so soon after missing a quarter. Do you find the trading unusual or pretty normal?
Tax loss selling seems to be shaping up to be much more muted this year compared to last year. Maybe investors are just more optimistic and that is the reason for CSU recent stock action?
Thanks,
Jim
