Investment Q&A

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

Q: Star Gas SGU. It has been a couple of years since someone queried this one. Has this worked its way into your good books? It has a nice 5.7% yield. I am looking for a SGY type of stock on the US market. If you can't recommend this one, is there another that you could suggest.

Thanks again.

Q: My question is on Directv (DTV). I noticed you commented on this about a year ago. It went to 80 but has been under pressure lately. Do you still like this holding?

Q: hello Peter & 5i team. I read today CSX after the harsh winter will reduce earnings by $0.10/share in Q1 and that execs are cautious on full-year profit and on if the company can reach its goal to achieve a two-year CAGR of 10% to 15%. I very recently bought shares at $27.69 and price as of today is $28.56. My feeling is to sell right now. Your thoughts please and as always, thank you for your time.

Q: I am considering buying Kinder Morgan KMI-N. Seeking Alpha has some interesting & controversial information about the Barron's article & insider buying following the publication. In doing some stock chart overlays KMI-N against WMB-N,SE-N,PAA-N,ENB-N,TRP-N,I find the yield & price discrepancy rather compelling. Your comments greatly appreciated. Ken

Q: Hi - my university attending son has been telling me about the legalization of marijuana, particularly in the US, and asks me how to invest in it. I read in the G&M today that even the Tories are softening on the issue. Any thoughts on how to invest in this sector?

Q: I have a well balanced 5I style portfolio, Thanks. Regarding my US holdings I have SPY, EFA, IBB, IWO, VIG, TAL, YUM, XLY, AAPL and a little US cash. Apple is flat, the rest have been fantastic. What do you think about selling Apple and buying something tech like such as QQQ with about 4% of my US portfolio? If you think this is a good idea is QQQ the choice or something else in any sector?
