Investment Q&A

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

Q: An article in the Fin Post calls Marketaxess the undisputed champion in the S&P financial index for the last decade. Your only comment on this company was in March,2018. The company appeared to have done very well up till then. The CEO was even interviewed that year by Crammer on his show. As I understood that interview, MKTX is sensitive to interest rates, yet it continues to rise in value in this low interest environment. Do you think MKTX is a safe way to have "bond" exposure? Belated season's greetings. Lionel

Q: I have two small positions in CSH.UN (1.3%) and SIS (1.0%), and I wanted to consolidate the invested capital into one holding. I consider them both to be investments within the healthcare space, which is part of the reason for consolidating these two holdings. I am strongly leaning towards selling CSH.UN and buying more SIS. Does this sound reasonable, or is there another option worth considering?

Q: AXSM
I owned this stock 2k shares at $18. It rose extremely quickly and I sold my position at $48.
It is now over $100, some of the current recent reports I have been reading are amazing and it was just upgraded with a target price of $180.
It is currently $100. What do you think of AXSM, should I just leave it and post the gain or should I reenter again at 5X the price I bought less than a year ago?
Your opinion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Q: In a brief release I see MAXR is being taken out by private equity for $1B, but the rise in share price this morning has the Mkt Cap at $1.26B. Can you explain the difference, e.g., does the 1B include or exclude debt carried by the company, is this a signal someone else might come in higher? What is your recommendation, hold or sell into this strength?

Thx, John

Q: For most of the year traditional bricks and mortar retailers have pretty much been left for dead .... other than the discount chains like TJ Maxx .... and the LULU's of this world.

Recently the XRT and stocks like M has been on a tear.
Two questions :
1. Could you justify buying M now based on consumer strength in the US, valuable real estate and apparently a "safe" dividend of about 9%.
2. What do you think of buying the XRT here.

All of this for a diversified portfolio looking for some G and good income.

Thanks

Q: Hello 5I; Microsoft has had a very successful run; it is hard to argue with success but some commentators on BNN have suggested it has now reached a bit of a top and will not continue to rise. Other BNN commentators have pointed to CVS as being good value and past their problems. I am thinking of a switch. Can you analyze the prospects for these two and provide your thoughts on this idea. Thanks for your excellent service.
