Investment Q&A

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

Q: An anecdotal comment and a question.

1) When you recommended ECN as part of the portfolio I purchased EFN instead, a fat finger mistake. Unfort when I realized the 'mistake' I made I sold me EFN and bought ECN. A mistake I wished I hadn't corrected.

2)An analyst I follow, with a 65% success rate (wished I was that good) made this recco this am.:

"TD Securities analyst Mario Mendonca downgraded ECN Capital Corp. (ECN:CN) (OTC: ECNCF) from Buy to Hold with a price target of Cdn$0.00..."

I have seen your comments on ECN this am. Its performance has been abysmal ever since it was added to the port, how strongly do you feel ECN will survive and not hit 0?

Q: Hi There!

I have read your comments this morning on ECN. it looks like the root cause of their troubles is the inflationary times, Marine/RV/Mobile home financing originations are shrinking considerably etc. I’m a long time holder who is breaking even at these levels. The position is a small part of a diversified portfolio (about 1.5% presently). Do you think it’s worth waiting for the “strategic evaluation” or should one just call it a day and SELL? Otherwise I think it’s a long wait for anything positive to happen here?

Q: I own both of these stocks and was considering consolidation, but only if there's some sense in doing so. The market liked the EXAS results. Are they different enough that owning both is fine? If only one, which one is better long term?

Q: Can you comment on Killam’s recent quarterly results and how they compared with street expectations please. Also how do they compare to similar sized peers like inter rent? Is it a good buy for the multi-residential space? And what do you think of adding to this space now in the macro cycle? Thanks

Q: My portfolio analytics says I'm low on consumer staples.

I'm considering the above companies but also wondering if the ETFs listed might be the better way to go.

Please comment and rate these companies and ETFs.

Thanks as always for your insight.
