Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have TCL.a in a tax-deferred account and show a significant loss — 50.1% below my cost. I cannot use the tax loss. I follow only US shares , and 95% of my folio is in US-listed companies. I do not follow Canadian markets at all and was therefore wondering why on earth I bought this awful entity.

I have no clue EXCEPT since I would buy Canadian shares only if suggested by 5i or if the security appeared in the 5i portfolio.

Was this company EVER in the 5i folio? (I do not check the Q & A section; too many questions contain a bewilderingly long—very long— list of symbols that make it tediously difficult to read).

On TCL.a I checked reports from RBC-DI , iTRADE, Thompson Reuters, Research Team, StockCalc, StockReports, CFRA and several others. RBC is the only analyst that does NOT hate it.

When I took a closer look at TCL.a , I find it has a horribly, outdated business model. It has done nothing for years, and share price has gone only down. No analyst seems to have a clue how this ancient business model can ever work.

What do you think of TCL.a ? It does not matter that I find it maddening, meaning please disregard my prejudices and my frustration with myself for buying, then holding, something I didn’t take time to review. I am looking for a fresh independent opinion.... a very FRESH opinion from you, AFTER it reports tomorrow (June 8).

Q: I am down about 41% with both ENGH and WELL, but 2x the dollar amount for ENGH. I am considering selling 1 or both now for a tax loss and likely buying back. Any idea what to expect with ENGH's upcoming earnings report next week? ENGH seems to be currently sitting at pre-pandemic levels and I am guessing it might be there for a while unless there is some dramatic change in the economy. Thanks for your your comments!
