Investment Q&A

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

Q: I keep an occasional eye on Twin Butte (TBE), now delisted, bankrupt, and a bad memory. There continues to be occasional OTC trades in this company.

The last time I asked about it you thought that they could be the closing of short positions, or speculators hoping to derive some value.

On July 8 100,000 shares were traded at $0.003. $300 may not be much in stock trade terms, but it would buy a lot of beer and pizza.

Who would pay $300 for shares in this company? Is there some residual value that may be languishing?

Maybe I should trade my last shares for a couple of slices.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on the fundamentals of Green Power Motor Company. Also your opinion on its growth prospects and whether now is a good time to start a small position. Are there a couple of other similar companies that might provide better opportunities.

Thank you as always for the excellent service!

Q: Few of my international holdings pay dividends and in trying to correct that, I thought of adding SDIV as a new holding. I have the following questions or concern:
1. Many companies held in the ETF are on not that large (for the type of internatinal business a Canadian might want to risk); and
2. SDIV also underweights quality and momentum.

Notwithstanding the above concerns, would you say the ETF is worth adding as part of one's holdings outside North America? Please comment on SDIV, but if you have other ETFs you prefer, kindly advise). Thanks

Q: I am looking to increase my energy exposure, and I am debating between a more senior producer, such as Suncor, or looking for greater torque to oil prices, such as Tamarack or Athabasca. I was wondering about your thoughts on the matter, including whether you feel that energy producers have more runway, or if the energy sector has reached something closer to full value. This would be a smaller position, no more than 2% of portfolio, so I can afford to take on some risk for the opportunity for growth. Thanks again, and I look forward to reading your thoughts.
