Q: Happy New Year! Looking for some direction on Cineplex. I've held about 2000 shares since 2009 with an average cost of $23.00. I missed selling it off when the pandemic hit and am wondering if I should continue holding out hope it might come back to levels close to $20.00, or should I cut my losses? I don't have any gains to be offset by taking a loss right now. I am planning to retire within the next two years. Thank-you.

Q: Hi there, I am down 40-80% on BTO, CGX, and WELL (as well as Andrew Peller, which I already know to sell based on your dropping coverage). I am wondering if there is any point on still holding these stocks, or if I should just sell them so I can put the remaining money somewhere else?
Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i,
Concerning the CGX recently announced sale of Player One Amusement Group...Do you consider this positive or negative for the company and what are your expectations for this company, are they really as bad as share price seems to suggests?
Share price is not far off Covid lows when business was zero...Are they effectively managing increased interest rates cost on current debt or is that a big ;problem also.

Current longtime shareholder pre-covid and trying to make decision hold or sell, my time line is 2 year time frame.

Thx

Q: Do to a few errors/mistakes in switching brokerages, I ended up removing these from an RRSP and TFSA accounts and left them in limbo in a non- reg account. I am aware of the serious overlap among the RBF266, XDV,CDZ and XIU. (They were in separate accounts at one time). If I should consolidate, what are your thoughts? What stays and what goes? If I were to begin selling and adding stocks, I was thinking BAM.A and ?Twenty year time frame. Have maxed TFSA.
Cheers and thanks,
Paul

Q: Hello. I am a new subscriber and this is my first question. I have been "practicing" self directed investing for the past year with about 20% of my registered assets. I think I have a pretty good grip on the basics and am now ready to move ahead and invest the balance of my assets into the market. I am going to use your portfolio construction recommendations as a guideline. According to the plan, I am already heavy in # of stocks and lack solid allocation and diversification. The stocks I listed are the ones that are dragging down the portfolio and for the most part do not belong in the mix. If I sell now all the losses seem to be quite significant representing approx. 3.5% of my current portfolio of stocks and about 1.3% of my total available assets. I have the option of holding on hoping for recovery and using other cash to strengthen my good positions and add to more diversified positions. Or should I simply sell and move on with a clean slate to re-build the portfolio?

Q: Hello team,

With Chinese flocking to their theaters as a sign of what is to come post Covid, do you think the pent up demand in Canada will save CGX? Or is CGX now too debt laden and too risky for investors to bother?

I don't like speculation so I guess I want to know if the worst is over and this is a real investment opportunity in a company which now has enough time to overcome its misfortunes and see better days ahead.

What is a good entry point if you want to play?

Thanks a bunch as always!
