Q: Hey,
I’m down 20% on Photon right now, it makes up just over 2% of the account it’s in and around .5% of total portfolio. I held through it’s great run up last then watched it fall lower than I started. Are you confident enough in another future run to look at the price now as a good chance to average down? Or is it too speculative and I should just hold now and be patient.
Thanks

Q: I have a full position in TOY and am starting to lose patience as I’m now down 24% in a year and don’t really see any positive momentum building given trade tensions and indications of an economic slowdown. I’m considering selling half or all to move into a more positive growth story as things stand today. As an example, I recently sold a half position in SIS and bought LSPD with very positive results. I would possibly buy more LSPD with the understanding growth=risk. Security and diversity are covered in other parts of our portfolio; these growthy stocks are in our TFSAs where growth is our only consideration. Given the objectives of our TFSA accounts can you make a case for keeping, selling half or all of TOY at this time.

Q: Over the last year I have been trying to follow some 5i stocks using your philosophy of buy and give it a chance as long as the fundamentals are there. I had a full posn (4%) in TSGI (one example) which is down by 54% now. Normally I would have sold as soon as there was indication of troubles or momentum went out of the stock. I think Ryan indicated he thinks the owners will figure it. Yet some of the responses I'm reading are not too sure. Can you firm it up a bit?

Thanks
