Q: PHM continues to go up even though the broader market is selling off. The volume seems to be very high. Can you please comment on the volume of this stock, and are there large blocks trading which may suggest institution buying?
Q: Are there any CDN or US ETFP's that you like for small cap or large cap exposure? What if one enhanced them with specific stocks to increase specific sector exposure?

Would you continue to hold or sell?

Q: Holy crow, MCR is going lower than I ever thought it would... so far,$1.65 today with no bottom in sight. I certainly feel foolish purchasing it at $6.30 last year. Have I missed some news? Is it time to get whatever nickels I can get from it now?
Q: Hello Peter. I need your help. I have relatively small positions in the following oil stocks (all of which are down): BDI, WCP, BNK, QST and MCR.
I can hold on for the longer term but I need to know if any of these companies are not likely to survive this downward cycle. Are the balance sheets strong enough? I suspect QST is fine given it has no debt. You mentioned in responses to other questions that BDI also has a relatively good balance sheet and I note that insiders have been buying at BDI (based on Canadian Insider search). If you were going to add to any of the above names, which would you choose?
Do you have a few biometric companies you like for growth in the sector? After reading this article, I would like to keep my eye on a few with some good potential. Cdn or US stock, either will do. Thanks for the excellent service. Gerald
Q: Hello 5i,
I'd like to get your take on Sandvine Corp. Their technoloigy is intriging and I could see sector growing in the future. Last quarter was weak but it seemed to be more related to contract timing and they have since signed a few new deals, and they've got a ton of cash on the balance sheet. Is this stock a good buy right now for 1-2 year time frame?
My investment in Enterprise Group is now down 54%. It is held in a registered account and, at current valuations, represents just 0.5% of my portfolio. Is it time to sell this stock and preserve the remaining capital?
