Investment Q&A

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

Q: Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK)( Dividend approx. 23%) and Golden Ocean Group( GOGL)(Dividend approx 13.8%) were mentioned in Seeking Alpha newsletter recently with regards to Attractive Dividend Stocks...

- 1. What are your thoughts on the 2 companies individually ?

- 2. What are your thoughts on the dividend offered ? EVEN if they cut their dividend in half ??

- 3. They Both have multiple Buy Ratings from what I see in my personal research...

- 4. Would you consider One or Both a Buy or Not ?

Thanks,
M

Q: HI Gang,

You have commented recently that APPS will require patience and is a HOLD at this point. Could you please give some insight as to why you think its a hold? I am down 60% on it and have a time frame of 2-3 years. Could you comment on what to potentially expect in the next 2-3 years. (always respecting you don't have a crystal ball)
Thanks for all your work and guidance in this tough climate!

Q: Greetings,

Considering how popular Cruising is, I was very surprised to see the last time anyone has asked about RCL seems to have been last July!

1. Are they a risky sector?
2. Surely older demographic will gravitate more to Cruising?
3. Which Cruise ship company has the best potential?
4. Is there an aging demography themed ETF?
5. RCL - Buy sell or Hold?

Thanks!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Please give your assessment of this company going forward. The price is cheap and I am thinking it might be a good long term contrarian play...even with inflation we have to eat. How risky would a buy be...better to wait for a lower price...I see we are now officially in a bear market...are we getting near the bottom? Thanks as always...your opinions are always valued.

Q: ISRG is now under $200/share. I thought I would add to it if it fell below $200, and now that it has I am not sure if I should average down. I am down 40% already.

Why should I NOT average down at this time?

What price would you consider adding to this stock?

In this market many growth stocks have fallen considerably. I know you don't like averaging down, but at some point you will have to unless you have owned growthy stocks for 3 to 5 years then you are still positive.

thanks,
Paul

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm down considerably in these US stocks in a taxable account: APPS, DIS, DXCM, EXPI, FB, NET, NFLX, U, and UPST.

I would like to crystallize some losses.

Could you please suggest:

1. The stocks I should sell outright (and suggest a replacement);

2. The stocks I should sell and then re-buy in 30 days (and suggest a proxy); and

3. The stocks I should continue to hold.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as required.

Thank you for your valuable advice!

Can you recommend 3 US stocks and 3 Canadian stocks. ETFs are also acceptable.

Thanks

Q: I understand that you, generally, are not fans of ultra-short etfs and their ilk for various (very valid) reasons. However, if an exception were to be made, would it apply to the "Advisorshares Dorsey Wright Short"? Running it through the excellent Qtrade Portfolio Simulator in conjunction with my current portfolio produces excellent downside risk protection and diversification numbers with minimal reductions in performance, income and fee numbers. Your perspective would be much appreciated.
Regards
David

Q: If you bot the S+P 500 in early 2000, it would have taken until early 2013 to see a general return to profitability in your portfolio. If 1970 inflation type problems persist (high oil prices and high interest rates), when would your best guess be for high PE stocks( DOCU ,ROKU, ADBE , TTD ) to recover and return to the highs we saw recently? Is it possible we may need to wait that long?
