Q: Hi!

I have a portfolio that has a few names I have held for some time that could be described as laggards and I'm not sure which of the group I should get rid of and deploy proceeds into something else. From the following list which stocks should I sell and move on from: CVE,TOU,SGY,AVO,G,ECA,QST,ALV ???

Q: I'm trying to figure out the long term rationale for hanging on to DBO. From what I can gather, they've been a public company since mid-2006 and their highest stock price occurred somewhere in spring of 2007 at 84 cents. In 10 years, they don't seem to have built a lot ... either in terms of moving forward with their plans, or building stock holders value.

One question I have: Is it because it's a slow industry to break into, and it takes time to get such technology established ... or have they (perhaps) not been using their time and money wisely? In other words, how is the management in all of this?

Your comment to another member states: "The company has essentially developed a product that can drive higher margins for their customers (theatres that charge more for motion seats), has proven the business case and has relationships with some of the larger theatre chains."

What is their competitive edge, then? Are they assailed by lots of competition, or are they just not moving forward because nobody is quite sure they want this technology -- other than China -- which in itself might be years in the making.

I'm trying to figure out whether I should hang on for the long term (you quote a 5 year window) at these rates, and add when I see dips in their stock, or if I should just bail out now.

If there's lots of competition in the space, with better management, perhaps the answer is obvious.

Since you don't have a report on the company yet, I was curious as to the "backroom workings" of this company's management, and its moat.

Thanks for your expert advice!

Q: Hi,while WIN has not worked out,I still have it and waiting for a rebound because of their cash position and possible sale? I do have a problem selling out of a loosing position.
Here's my problem,I sold Drt at $5.05 the low,but it is now $5.70 bought at $5.40.
So now I still have BOS bought at $17 and think if sold I will be selling at low again?
Would it be best to sell both or hold? If I sell what would be two or three good replacements,sector should be no problem.

Q: Hello, Lucara sent out a press release today indicating completion of sale of 12 large diamonds totalling $38+ million. Wondering how you feel this will impact the stock price.
Also, I note a large run up in price of Grande West Transportation. Anything other than recent sales (incl USA)? Could this be a New Flyer proxy?
Thank you,
Brian

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
All three stocks are hitting all time highs. This is a good sign. They all seem to have good fundamentals and technicals. Given that they hit all time highs, if i want to increase my position, is it best to wait for a pull back or just allocate the money and in the long run getting them 4 or 5% cheaper won't matter much. Please advise. Thanks
