Investment Q&A

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

Q: I realize the damage is done to the share price but does the company's pretty pathetic rebuttal, so far, lead you to believe there might be some credibility to the short argument? I've read the short report and found it hard to follow but the jist I got was that earnings are being manipulated, management "appears" checkered, sales are slowing and debt is high.

Q: A bit confusing, prior to short seller situation, there
were several buy recommendations with 12 MO $24 tgts,
so outside of short seller manipulation, (I see that failed
on BYD. un), what has really changed?
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
If I may extend the discussion w.r.t the question on Tucows by Rick yesterday .
The markets are volatile combined with tax loss selling and perhaps retail investors putting fresh money into registered accounts early 2016, there are going to be opportunities. It is also likely quite a few investors would look at the 5i portfolios to make new investments or add to positions. Perhaps you could guide the investor where the opportunities are based on valuations and fundamentals or even just qualitatively.
So here is my suggestion. When you email/post the month end performance report for the 5i portfolios; is it possible to include a column that ranks them on investible attractiveness as of that date? Now I would not be expecting 5i to have done extensive research before providing a rank. It could be a combination of your current existing knowledge, news that you may be aware of or just your opinion; quite similar to the opinion you provide on Market Call, except it would be for the stocks in the 5i portfolios.
It would help me and probably a lot of the subscribers in deciding on where to put fresh money – to start a new position, trim or increase existing ones ; based on our individual portfolios.
Regards

Q: Hello 5i team.
I submitted a question within the past week, and mentioned I was down 10% it is actually over 20% and your stock answer was "it is up 40% in a year". I don't quite understand that statement when my purchase price was $29.00 in June/15.
I cannot really see how this was ever up 40%, and I feel if a stock falls from a high of $32.00 to $21.00 that something has happened within this company. "Just sayin"
Can you advise how oftain you actually reach out to management of the companies that you recommend.
Thanks and really do appreciate your service

Q: Currently down on this one 10% now, and read you last reply of Nov.17-. For whatever reason tax selling must be out of the way by now, and I cannot find anything good on this one. I have read some tweets of insider selling, and wonder if I should cut my loses before it gets worse, and get on with life. I really hate selling at such large loses, but seems to be the story of my life lately.
