Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i,
I don’t think you have ever been asked about this one and it isn’t a name that comes up every day in the media but how do you think Markel Corp (MKL) looks right now? Aside from it being beaten down like everything else in the financial crisis, a very long term chart shows it to have been a remarkably good buy & hold stock up to this point. Thanks!

Q: My primary investment objective is to find companies with growth potential with a secondary goal for some dividend income. I bought Innergex renewable (INE) a year ago at 14.80. This year it has been flat around 14.50. I am considering selling it and reinvesting the proceeds into Gilead (GILD). With GILD there is also the potential of some currency appreciation. Please let me have your thoughts. Is there another Company you would prefer to Gilead??

Q: Without regard for sector diversification and/or weight - If I needed to raise some cash in my portfolio, and wanted to sell some of my losers...which of these names would you sell in order of priority. Could you kindly provide rationale for why you might sell vs. hold. Thanks

Q: Isn't the fall in SP an over reaction?? Home Depot has been successfully fending off Amazon with successful online retail of its own for several years in many of its business lines already (hand and power tools etc). Not to mention people don't like buying a lot of their goods online and prefer to buy or pick up in person. I just don't see why there's such a big reaction. I own HD shares and am now a bit under water. I don't typically like holding on to losers very long. What would be an appropriate stop loss level for this stock and/or what are your thoughts on the stock moving forward. Thanks

Q: Good afternoon,

A positive piece in Barron's postulated that this stock may have significant upside. What do you think of whirlpool? Do you see significant growth? Also, would you be a buyer at these levels ? Or do you see better opportunities in industrials, and oh so, can you make a few suggestions.

Thank you

Karim
