Q: Some questions about REAL recently. If I have this straight, REAL is in the business of mortgage lending, re-finance and appraisals. All necessary components for any real estate transaction. Considering the robust real estate market that has only become more busy in 2020 and not less, why the downward pressure on REAL? Simply profit taking?

It seems to me that they are well positioned to have a blow-out year and we should al be buying.

I have a 1% position in REAL and am considering doubling it for a 2-5 year hold with high short term (6-12 month) expectations. Reasons to not do this include?

Q: Good Afternoon,
I heard someone speaking on the tv today about REAL and how they have access to a large amount of data in regards to home inspections that need to be completed to qualify for refinancing. I have never thought of this angle before, all the homes out there that require a new roof, plumbing , windows etc. They are wondering how they can monetize this data . This could be very valuable data in the right hands, thoughts on this concept?
thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

Any reason that Bill Holland (Board of Directors) sold a total of 270,766 shares at an average price per share of approximately $31.56. Do you think it will have negative impact to the stock? In general, Investors monitor insider buying and selling since buying activity is often seen as a positive sign that executives believe the stock will rise in the future. Conversely, insider selling can be seen that executives believe the company and its stock price may underperform in the future. Do you see any possible of underperform reason, please kindly advise.

Q: Hi i5,

According to "Buffett Indicator", when it's in the 70% to 80% range, it is time to throw cash at the market. When it moves above 100%, it's time to lean toward risk-off. Now Market Cap to GDP Ration > 100% means stocks in bubble territory. Do you think Canadian stocks may also in bubble territory? If US in bear market, do you think the above Canadian stocks which I am holding can be survived? Perhaps, should we start to off load which may be in danger during the bear market into cash, or switch among balance or income portfolio. Any suggestion?
