Investment Q&A

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

Q: i've leaned on investing.com for real time US and international stock quotes to use for my speculative plays. i like investing.com overall but i'm struggling to find a good free platform for tsx and tsx.v stock real time quotes (ECN for example today did not appear as 'trending' or a 'mover' on that platform and i have noticed that investing.com falls short on CDN stocks in that regard. i realize the team likely uses a bloomberg terminal but what good options are available for myself for CDN stocks thank you very much

Q: Can you please comment on ECN's recent quarter which the market does not seem to like. Are you still positive on the name, and if so why and if not, why not. Finally, on a scale of 1-10, (10 being your top picks) for small cap Cnd growth names, where in the pack would ECN fall. They treated me very well for the first few years but have struggled after the special dividend and I am now worried that my expectation that they repeat their previous performance may be ill placed.

Thanks for the objective view

Q: Hi There, regarding ECN and your recent comments, so I take it you are willing to hang on for a few more quarters then? I know you’ve always spoken highly of Steve Hudson and his abilities. Also didn’t they give notice earlier this year about a “Special Review” or has this come and gone with no results?

Ok thanks!

Q: Help me understand what the 2or3 key reasons are, to continue holding ECN, in addition to economic recovery and lower interest rates. Is economic recovery and lower interest rates the dominant reason to continue holding ECN? In your experience looking at a companies whose business was similar to ECN, how long will it be to see a share price response, to these reasons, if properly executed?

Q: Hi, these are my stocks that are currently down, and would like to do some weeding,and tax loss planning.
I would like to sell one outright, sell three to half position, and maybe keep the remaining position.
The idea is to acquire cash to slowly add to my more stable holdings like ( BN:SLF: CSU etc.).
Thanks, and appreciate your feedback and opinions.

Q: Good Morning

Both my wife I own shares in ECN and have been long time owners and over the years have done very well. However now in our mid seventies and with the new focus for ECN if now would be a good time to exit our position and invest in something more appropriate and conservative for our age. Selling half would leave us with to small a position so either sell all or retain it?
What are your thoughts and if sell is the suggestion what would those suggestions be?
we are over weight in both financials and TECH
We understand you are unable to provide direct guidance
Thks

Q: Trying to reduce my number of stock holdings. Have identified these 11 as small positions that can be eliminated. Intending to use the cash to add to stronger holdings. I try not to think of a stock as a "hold". There are lots of high quality names you can invest in that look better than a "hold". If you were doing a portfolio clean up, and held these as roughly 1% positions, are there any that you would be reluctant to sell?

Q: Ecn is reporting soon. What are expectations? I am holding with a small loss which I fear is going to turn into a big loss when financials are released and results of review are revealed. The stock is acting very much like CTS leading up to the completion of their strategic review. Thoughts ?
