Investment Q&A

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

Q: TEVA has been a holding of mine for several years and has been the epitome of dead money. There's certainly been no growth and I wonder is the true PE 8X or 80X as some have it? Can you recommend an U.S. ETF that would represent the industry bearing in mind that I also hold Pfizer?

I note that Valeant is now in the top ten of large cap Canadian companies and do you think it can overtake companies higher up on the list such as Enbridge? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello 5i,

What are your thoughts on the cloud computing sector? After IBM recently bought softlayer - Do you foresee more takeovers in the near future?

As a side note it would be helpful on the website to have a search function that isn't restricted to a stock symbol only.

Q: I had an open order to sell 200 MSFT at 33 and it traded up to 33.36 after the order was entered but the broker didn't fill the order because the high temporary "spike" price was only available to institutions, not retail. Does this sound like a plausible excuse or do I have a complaint that I should elevate? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

Quick thoughts on Faro Technologies, FARO, and how they are positioned to take advantage of the supposedly rapid expanding 3D printing world. Also, a quick comment on their financials and value would also be appreciated. And if you are familiar with the 3D printing world, what company would be your best bet in this growing field.

Q: Good Day. On July 29th, Haliburton (HAL) announced a 'modified dutch auction' in order to re-purchase shares. Are there specific advantages in this process as opposed to a regular re-purchase of stock?
Can I have your outlook on HAL for the next 2 to 5 years.
Finally, any plans for a US Model Portfolio that I see is in place for Canadian securities.

thanks,

Q: Hi,I have picked up great profits from JNJ (50%) and GIS (40%)
but I think a substantial market correction is coming.
Should I sell these 2 stocks and buy back in on the dip with the likes of these 2 or MCD,DIS,CL,GE,DD,BNS,for example?
I know it goes against the premise of "Keep the good and sell the bad but those profits are very tempting. By the way, I also hold FSZ and CGX, 2 of your recommendations, but I see those as growth stories that will keep climbing - keep up the good work.
Regards. Robert
