Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter. I attended yesterday's webinar and must say that I found it to be of assistance. I do, however, have a question regarding when to sell a stock. In your presentation, you said that one of the biggest mistakes is to take too long to sell a loser. You also said the "Doing nothing is almost always better than reacting". These statements are a little contrary to one another. For instance, I purchased The Stars Group when you recommended it a number of months ago and all it has done since then is go down. How do I reconcile selling or holding in this case. Your thought process would help me a lot. What are the key factors to think about in my decision to hold or sell in this case and in general?

Thanks Peter.

Q: I sold both WEF and TSGI for tax losses. I can get back into them Oct.31. They've both been going straight down and I'm thinking they may go lower because of others doing tax loss selling. Do you still think they're worth getting back into and would the end of December be a better time to buy them?

Q: tfii announced great earnings, increased divvy, getting hammered.
and gsy is just getting creamed.
and tsgi creamed.
where are you at with these 3 .dave

Q: Can you provide some re-assurance on Stars Group. If you liked it above $45, do you really like at $29+?

Q: Could you please comment on the most recent quarter, Is it still worth holding on. Is seems to be reacting negatively like Stars Group has been recently.

Q: Hello,
I liked Gary's question on Low Risk/high reward situation for ALA. I read a book by Mohnish Pabrai a great value investor who did very well by buying into low risk/high uncertainty situations which led the good companies to sell at well below market prices. Are there other companies out there in such a situation? Would TSGI fall in that category where the risk/reward looks very attractive? Thanks.

Q: TSGI received UK approval for Sky with no restrictions. They also settled lawsuit and will pay 6m . What are your thoughts on both developments? Should we 5i followers top up and add to the position or is more downside related to the stock on its way, IE lawsuits, debt and dilution?

Q: Not considering any other factors other than the recent pull back and valuation/growth, what two names would you add to or start a position in today? Thanks.

Q: Hi.

What companies are good investments for the short and long term now that the NAFTA agreement is negotiated? re DOO, MG, NFI. Also, how about PBH for a long term investment? Which Gaming company has better growth potential between TSGI and GC?

Thank you

Q: Hi I bought TSGI at 42 ish and now is at 29ish at the time I bought you were recommending don’t know if I should sell or hold also OSB is falling can you tell me your thoughts on it. Thank you

Q: I have some questions on Altagas. Would a person be better to buy ACI later this month, because it should have better growth(propane export).
Also, If I were to buy Altagas now , is there not a fair chance of the dividend being cut, because of reduced cash flow(selling Canadian assets). Would you please comment on these aspects. Will ACI have a dividend and how much.
TSGI I was thinking of selling for tax purposes and would like to buy back after 30 days.. Do you know when the next report will be out, I thought perhaps in the middle of Nov.. Thanks in advance Love your service Earl

Q: hi Peter a little confused by the P/E ratios which you show on these companies profiles. if I use 2019 EPS estimates that you Kindly provided I get PBH p/e of 17.34 not 34.10 SIS p/e of 23.20 not 34.40. DOL p/e of 20.52 not 24.50 and TSGI p/e of 11.82 not 73.50. not sure what I am missing. thanks Richard

Q: If you were to add or buy any 3 stocks today, what would be your top picks and brief reason why?

Q: can't wrap my head around this one still; very cheap next years earnings, good future growth projected around 15% cagr, diversified business regionally and operationally, thoughts on continuing to add to a fairly large position for a very long term (only 20 years old) horizon

Q: of all the companies listed, I currently have the same percentage of holding that is in the 5i portfolio. Which of these stocks would you be comfortable buying today and making it a 4-5 % holding as I have some cash and would like to average down. I am a young investor with a long horizon as these stocks are all in my RRSP.

Thanks

Q: I am getting beat up by the above companies --all down 20 to 27%.
I am not comfortable with these kind of losses--usually bail out around 10%
Which proves to be a mistake sometimes.
What is your reccomendation SELLor HOLD and for how long if you are suggesting I hold.
Thanks
Peter

Q: Has anyone else received, in the mail, a notice of proposed settlement of class action for Amaya, with the Proof of Claim and Release form? Reading through the notice, at the bottom of page 5, it says that shares purchased on the TSX are not included in the settlement. Why not? And why bother sending us the package?

Q: I have a question about 323 .
Hi,
I sold a small position on GC for tax loss. I could do the same for TSGI (andl plan to buy back)? But I do not want to do that in case something good could happen in short term. I have a -25% on TSGI currently. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
