Investment Q&A

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

Q: A recent BNN interview appeared to suggest that ecn had or was becoming a facilitator of finance rather than engaging in direct exposure to the finance obligations, collecting fees for arranging the engagement, and the TD notes on this Co indicate that it is becoming an originator and asset manager, which to me seems to indicate a similar strategy. Would this not make ecn more economically sensitive to the sectors it participated in and less affected by the passage of interest rates and how would this affect your appraisal of ECN?

Q: Hi Peter,

The following were initial 4% positions which have gone down quite a bit and wanted to know if I should sell, hold or add:

In my TFSA, GUD (down 19.9%) and PTE (down 47.3%); in my margin account, TV (down 30.4%) and in my RRSP, ECN (down 6.4%).

If I sell then my options to replace would be RHT, GC, TSGI, PBH or GSY. I would appreciate your opinion. I am looking for high growth; risk and sector aren't an issue.

Please deduct as many credits as appropriate. Thanks as always.

Q: My impression is that 5i has been quite bullish on ECN over time - so the recent price surge triggered additional research, only to find that 2018 and 2019 revenue estimates were well below current levels, -40%, which is a potential significant disconnect with respect to price appreciation for that period. Do you concur and what would be the impact of continuing rate rises.

Q: I eventually will be bringing each of these stocks up to a full position. Can you suggest in what order I should do this as cash becomes available?
