Investment Q&A

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

Q: Would you please explain why ECN is dishing all this money to shareholder and then turn around and then issue a debenture? Wouldn't it be better to use the money they are giving away rather than leveraging their balance sheet? Any indication what this money is going to be used for? Does this improve their growth potential?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
In your opinion is LSPD a falling knife that will gravely wound me if I catch it now and hold on for a couple of years and, if so, how much closer to the floor should one let it get before grabbing on? I guess, my question really is - if LSPD is not there now where is that floor, do you think?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Peter

Q: Performance of these two has been vastly different this year with the common up 54% and the A shares 8%. There was an event in early Nov. that caused the common to leap, what was it? As far as I know the A's have a coattail provision, a rumoured takeover causing shares to surge some years ago also. What is your outlook for this pair going forward?

Q: I have assembled a few names from the US exchanges that have had a tough few months and are likely experiencing some year end portfolio adjustments, ie, Tax Loss Selling. From the names I have here, can you identify two that you feel will have a better 2022, also curious if you might have an additional name for consideration. Thanks very much, happy holidays to you folks as well as all our 5i members

Q: I have a feeling there are still people selling LSPD now for the tax loss, meaning to buy it back in 30 days. It might work out for them but selling it now means having to wait until the middle of January to buy it back. I think the bounce will happen sooner than that and the people who really make the gain are the buyers picking it up at fire-sale prices right now? What do you think?

Q: Hello 5I.
I have a pretty well balanced portfolio and am currently a little overweight tech. That said I am torn on weather to take a loss on $Sq and buy something like $CRWD or $Apps as I want to keep the growth tech. I am down 20%. The tax write off is a small help but not the decision maker. With that is mind do you think $sq has more upside vs the other 2 listed? Would you recommend I just stay the course with $SQ?
Thanks

Q: I am underweight in the Healthcare sector with only a 1.5% holding in Well. Could you suggest US and Canadian securities which would be suitable for a solid performing “ core” holding?

Secondly, I am down 39% in WELL. Should I have any concerns picking up additional shares at this level?
