Investment Q&A

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

Q: A couple of recent sources have suggested lower iron ore prices next year. I own LIF in several accounts and I'm wondering about selling about 25% at current prices and buying back next year at lower prices. I am enjoying the last two dividends of about 5% each. Do you see this as a reasonable approach to bring down my average cost as I purchased at much higher prices years ago. Thanks, love your service.

Q: What are your thoughts of this closed-end fund? It has public and private investments, trades at a discount of course and with leverage to financials. I also wonder whether there would be a potential tax hit as I see they have gold acreage in Quebec carried at $0 ACB. I wonder what your opinion of management is - something here? Thanks! as a follow up to my question just asked, if you were to buy, would you look at the voting or NV shares? Thanks

Q: I bought NMX in 2015 at .36 and sold it in 2016 for 1.84 then bought it back again at $1.09. It is up 60% since July. With today's surge it has reached 10% of my portfolio. Again. But compared with similar projects it is undervalued (ie Mason LLG.X that is at 2.25 and is no where near starting production). My dilemma is do I hold on or take profit. I am well diversified and going to retire in 60 days.

Thank you for your input!

Q: Hello 5i,

Can you provide an opinion of the potential of this little company please? As a tiny, pre-revenue? company I expect they aren't even close to being on your radar but it's the concept and/or target industry niche that has me questioning whether there is potential and worthy of monitoring them for a while.
Thank you
Mike

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
GCL just reported a 3rd Q. miss and the stock has crashed 25%. Please give your assessment of this company...especially there financial strength...debt vs. cash on hand. Do you think they qualify as a contrarian play or are the risks just too high. Also since the 4th Q. appears poor do you think they are vulnerable to tax loss selling?
Thanks for your consistent excellence...

Q: Hi Peter and team:
Two of the companies in my small cap portfolio, Acuity
Ads and TSO3, have performed badly for me in the last year. I am down 50% on AT and down 40% on TSO. I am willing to be patient but wondering if this is a recovery that could take many months, if not years, which is too long for me. Do I hang on, or are there other small cap stocks with promising technologies that may be preferable with a shorter timeline to success? By the way, I own PHO after reading your reviews, which has worked out well for me, thanks.

Q: I have noticed that Questor's stock is hitting 52-week highs and the average trading volumes are on the rise over the last 3 months. Given its seller financial results year-to-date, rising market cap and strong balance sheet and its clean tech business, do you think the stock will get more attention again from bigger investors like it once had?
