Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello.
Thanks for the ongoing investing commentary.
Given the results I have experienced with a few individual investments over the past 8 months, it is clear I either do not have time to keep up with small cap growth stocks' activity, do not know how to make buy sell decisions, do not have the stomach for the ride or just completely outside my sphere of investor ability. In reviewing my experience with buy sell of Phm, I was up 8000 and ended up selling at loss of 6000. Ad recently up 7000 and end d up selling for 3000 loss. Painfully sitting on a 35,000 loss in Cxr.....largest loss ever in 16 years of direct investing. Can not make money this way. Clearly I should be handing over small company decision making to someone else.

The question.......what Canadian and USA mutual fund or strategy would you have me consider to help capture some of the growth available through small company / special opportunities investing ........ Without being directly involved with the buy sell decision?

I am okay with long term but long term with current results will land me in the poor house.

Appreciate your thoughts on this topic.

Q: Hello,

I used to follow Parkit about 3 years ago and always thought the story was good. I have noticed in almost every city I have been in a lack of parking and an increase of price. Now that the board disagreements seem to be settled and a few new exec`s have been hired - could you offer comment here? Looks like the new CEO is a heavy hitter in the space. Given it's size (sub 10mln mkt cap) I understand all the risks, more just looking for your take.

Thanks

Jim

Q: I invested in a 'Global Small Cap' fund about 18 years ago. Incredibly, my return AFTER 18 YEARS is NEGATIVE 16%! (I guess this is lesson in the effects of both high mutual fund MERs and picking a lousy fund company!) Can you please suggest an ETF that would be good for the 'global small cap' space. Or another 'small cap' ETF or strategy, if you don't think a global small cap ETF is the way to go. Thank you!!

Q: I keep seeing Intrinsyc's stock trending upward this year and so too its market capitalization, now at about $37 million. Do you expect the trading multiple will expand on Intrinsyc's stock and hence put upward pressure on the share price once this TSX-listed Company's market cap gets closer to $50 million which could attract a first wave of small cap funds as new investors?
