Investment Q&A

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

Q: A few of your employees own this. It has dropped off a few per cent in the last few days. Any reason? Also, before I logged in I think on Sept. 11 you were talking about two stocks that had a rating change - one up - one down and basically when I logged in I could not find this. Where do I go to find rating changes? Sorry Ryan for asking a lot of questions at the Money Show - but I really appreciated your presentation. Dennis

Q: My previous question asked your advice on an offer received for my NXPI shares. I tendered them shortly afterward.
Since then there have been more extensions and I'm concerned about the lack of closure.Because I am unfamiliar with the process I would appreciate your opinion on the options. A recommendation on the course to follow would be welcome.

Q: Hello
Are there any pure auto insurance companies to invest in, my thinking is that with the use of sensors etc accidents will be greatly reduced and insurance companies will not be passing savings on to consumers.

Q: hello 5i:
I am normally a fairly risk averse investor. Butttttt, knowing that the key person is probably the most important ingredient in a company, and assuming the company has a product that is still relevant (we'll rule out typewriters and horse drawn buggies), I am more than willing to have a small part of our portfolio in a growth company with good earnings potential. ie, we are invested in GUD, primarily because of Jonathan Goodman.
Recently, I've read about a company called Synergy CHC, run by a man called Jack Ross. Mr Ross is a very major shareholder in SNYR. And Knight (GUD) has invested in SNYR, something I see as a vote of confidence from Mr Goodman.
Knowing its not your forte, but trying to do my due diligence, can I ask you to comment on this company? I would try to establish a position at $XXX as it seems to be a thin trader, and fairly volatile. But I can't access this name on Stockcharts, so am a little constrained with TA. And there is not much information, in general, available.
Any advice you can give is beneficial
note that you can publish all of this question, EXCEPT FOR the part about my (hopeful) offer price.

Q: Hello team,

Would you buy this company at this time? Is its massive/nonstop share price growth really justified? Isn't there any competition out there for it? What are the pitfalls in your opinion? What do you think about its mid-/long-term prospects?

Thanks for your exemplary insights as always!

Q: Good morning,
It 'appears' GE's downward trend will continue. That would soon take our current US$23k investment below our book value. I prefer holding, but don't like the notion of underwater for years waiting for this ship to turn around. So I'm 'inclined' to move on, in which case probably by adding that to SPY which most of our US$ are in. Your thoughts will be appreciated.

Q: Greetings 5i,

I am making an effort to increase my exposure to US stocks, and am considering adding a US healthcare position to augment my Canadian healthcare holdings of CSH.UN and GUD.

JNJ was my first thought, given its strong history, massive valuation, and diversification. However, I am (like many, I assume) concerned about its legal troubles; particularly given the severity of the issues that surround them. Moreover, it appears that said troubles may be present for quite a long time.

I am thinking long term (I am 36), am a "buy and hold" investor, and will not need the capital I would be deploying for the foreseeable future.

Do you feel as if this is a good entry point for JNJ (perhaps a half position to start), or would you wait to see how the legal situations unfold before considering this purchase? If the latter, is there another American healthcare stock you might recommend in its place?

Thank you.
