Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter, what is your thoughts on the latest news release about Sears US averting bankruptcy? It's predictable it will happen, consumer taste buds are different (i.e. online / amazon). But what about the management that we so value when investing in great companies? Shouldn't Eddie Lampert be questioned or lawsuit against him? For years he's depended on Sear's real estate value to save itself and hasn't his investment company taken away the value of Sears in the end, despite all the CEO turnovers for Sears. Shouldn't he be the one in the end to blame? Does he make any money after pouring so much money back in there each time? Bad management wouldn't you agree?

Q: Hi 5i team:
I am looking to add to my position in the tech sector and would like to ask you to rank the following stocks: ENGH, CSU, OTEX, GIB.A. I already own SHOP, KXS, DSG. Is it a good time to add to my portfolio? Are the opportunities better in the U. S.? Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i Team,
At the recent Toronto Money Show, David Rosenberg advised that the leading indicators he monitors are showing signs of an economic slowdown. He advised people to become defensive. My question is what does he mean by defensive and how does a retail buy and hold investor do this. Would it be possible to give examples of defensive sectors and stocks?

Thanks and regards,
Danny

Q: Hi .... Further to your answer to Guy's question and as someone who is hurting big time with rht .... does your answer mean that there are no catalysts anticipated in the next year to lift this stock - other than an unanticipated piece of good news? No excellent fundamentals?

As 'they" say, hope is not a strategy.... so my impression is that if you were putting new money to work RHT would be way down your list of candidates?

Thanks for your help here. I hate to walk away from an investment but this looks like it is overdue to be dumped.
