Q: Is it time to get rid of PFE. I've had this for years and done well but it's been on a downward trend for a while now. What was once a 45% gain has dwindled to 13%. This is starting to remind me of GE where you hang on hoping for a turn around and nothing but bad news keeps happening. Thinking of replacing it with CVS. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Q: Hi,

Q: CPH just released Q results, do you see things turning around? They have more cash and less debt than last quarter and they continue to make a profit - please evaluate these metrics. Finally, would you comment on the initiatives outlined in the strategic update?
Q: I see PLC just released results which fell short of analyst expectations. Had a quick look through the latest financials and noticed increase in revenue and net income, decrease in long term debt levels however this looked to be funded by a share issue. I get that PLC is acquisitive and doesn't have the cash flow to fund all of the acquisitions. But does the constant issuance of shares concern the team at 5i? I guess stock performance to date indicates market is not worried about it. Any concerns with starting a position held in a TFSA?
Q: #1. Are there any key indicators that would suggest a recession ?
#2. Would it be a good idea for an investor to get out of the market and buy back in later, thinking there will be a recession soon and a downward stock market.
Q: Peter; I searched the Tax questions first but couldn’t find a answer- Re the 30 day rule- is the count of 30 days from the day it was sold or the settlement day? Thanks. Rod
