Q: HI
I purchased LNF a few months ago when it was a recommended strong buy by 5i. It has grown 10.98% YTD and 44% since my time of purchase. Last Friday, it reached a 52 week high and the company announced that it would buy back 4.99% of its shares starting Sept 15th. My understanding is that one of the reasons a company might buy back shares is to increase its price. To me, it seems to have already grown quite a bit.
1. Should I sell part of my shares given its growth?
2. Should the buy back have any weight on my decision to sell?
3. How does 5i decide on its recommendation (eg. hold etc)?
thanks again for all your help
