Investment Q&A

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

Q: About to sell this real loser, however I do respect & appreciate your opinion. Have owned it for nearly 3 yrs & while rising slightly at one point during a momentary pop-up in Jan-Feb of this year, it has now dropped 25%. Before dumping, I thought you might have a contrarian position as its book V is nearly $8.50. Thank you.

Q: Hi,
I had PLI in my TFSA as of yesterday. I sold it at an 80% loss. Is there any one good growth company that I can replace it with that would regain my losses? It's the only stock in my TFSA and it's a small position.
Thanks

Q: Thank you 5i for helping me realize it is time to refocus my investment philosophy.
Ignorance is bliss. In more recent times, my bliss has turned to self scrutiny full responsibility for my investment decisions. Thus I signed up with 5i because what I see offered is good common advice, not hopeful returns.

About a year ago I was in a blissful state and followed some advice to invest in these companies as potential Canadian 10+ baggers: TSO3 INC, CRH MEDICAL, SUNOPTA, EXCO TECHNOLOGIES, PIZZA PIZZA ROYALTY CORP, MEDICAL FACILITIES, MAJOR DRILLING GRP INTL, WESTAIM CORP, CORBY SPIRIT & WINE-A, TRICON CAPITAL, and AUTOMOTIVE PPTY REIT
Consequently, I invested about 5% of my total portfolio in the hopes of winners. One year later all are down 10% or more with a combined loss on paper, ytd, of almost 20%.
Thankfully, the majority of my stock investments are in ETFs. I am not opposed to owning individual stocks. Based on your views of these companies, should I sell off all or any of these and make some wiser, less speculative choices? Any other sage advice would also be welcomed.
