Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have held CXI for a long time and am willing to hold longer. However, I am intrigued by PEO, particularly because of Peter's continued interest in it. The question is, do I cash CXI in and buy PEO? Does PEO present a better growth option than CXI or if/when CXI comes out of its doldrums would you expect CXI to show better growth over the next few years? Given I have held CXI this long and consider myself a long term investor, I am wondering if I would be "betraying" my philosophy if I sell or am I just being unreasonably fearful that I would miss out on CXI?

I am looking at exchanging these two as it would maintain my financial sector holdings.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I'm sitting on a +/- 50% loss on both CCO and WJX and have been waiting for some sign of life for several years. Is it time to accept defeat and move on? I'm also holding on to a smaller loss on CXI. If I sell it I need to replace it with some other financial. What would you advise? Also, my CSI has grown to approx. 8% of the portfolio. Do I sell some to cover the other losses even though it's my best performer?
Thanks, Rod

Q: Am looking over your 3 portfolios to fill some holes in my portfolio.The above 6 in your portfolios have not done well and I was wondering what is your reason for keeping them.Maybe they are all buying opportunities or are there better alternatives?

Q: Apologies... following up on Marty's question early today... I too have been holding CXI for some time and am not sure you answered his question when he asked should he continue to hold CXI;

"Is there evidence that their efforts are now finally gaining traction and would you recommend that I continue to hold?"


Or was it implied because you like BYD.UN to sell CXI and buy Boyd?

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Good Day 5i
First of all I just wanted to commend Peter on another informative appearance on BNN. As testament to your following your top picks of PHO and GUD shot up the instant you mentioned them on air.
My question is would you please comment on the latest quarter of CXI? Is there evidence that their efforts are now finally gaining traction and would you recommend that I continue to hold. I was contemplating a switch back into BYD.UN as I had sold out of my position way too early and of course noted it was one of your top picks today.

Q: You did a portfolio review for me in March and it was very helpful. I sold some losers, still have some stragglers and picked up a few great stocks & ETFs. I am wondering if I should hold CXI until later in the summer, in hopes business picks up or sell it now and buy KXS. I am down 40% in my TFSA and it's hard to sell but I am tired of waiting for good news. Your valued opinion, please. I know that it is no longer in your portfolio.

Q: Hi, I'm looking for growth companies in the Financial sector, either Canada or US. I already have major banks covered, and not a big fan of the "payday loan" type companies that finance at very high rates such as gsy. Do you have any recommendations here, in the context of likely 2 small interest rate hikes per year in the US for the next couple of years, and generally positive economy?

Q: As yet, I have not 're-balanced' my portfolio by selling some of Savaria. I still have a significant cash balance and don't really need to. Do you regard it as a sell to some degree, or should I stick with my doubling of this investment. I do have Suncor in my 'Balanced Equity Port.' Perhaps you had it at one time and I missed a sell on it? Should I keep this equity or sell it? One of the few equities I never purchased in my portfolio (it is difficult to buy in my US Schwab international acct). Seeing how it has retracted from highs, do you consider this a value purchase now?
