Investment Q&A

Q: SQ is getting hit hard here along with the rest, but I don't actually see the objective association here. What I mean is I can see why GOOGL gets hit in relation to FB, but is there something specific in SQ that I am missing, or is it just sectoral? Thanks

Q: peter; Do you see anything on CPG this am to account for the drop on high volume? I know oil is down a bit , and a few other stocks are a bit weaker, but nothing like Cpg. Thanks.

Q: What is up with this stock? A record Q with a divvy raise rewarded with a new 52 week low. There must be a further reason than BEPort kind of woes? i.e. rising rates. Is it a buy?

Q: Hi,
We have owned PHO for many years and I was planning on adding it. However over the past 5 years it has been rather choppy and not as consistent compared to xylem. Should we stay with PHO or switch into a different water stock? If you were me what would be your top choice in this sector? Looking for growth and consistency with 10 year plus time frame. Thanks

Q: Thanks to your recommendations I have a nice profit on Itron. I have been looking at Energizer (ENR) and it seems to have good projected upside for the next year and also yields a modest 2.2% dividend. Do you think a switch from ITRI to to ENR would be a good move at this time? Why or why not? Thanks.

Q: To add to your response to John this morning regarding sources for latest company news, you can often get up-to-the-second information about a company by searching Twitter using the company's ticker symbol with a dollar sign in front of it, and clicking the "Latest" tab. A couple caveats: the signal-to-noise ratio can be extremely low, and it will return tweets about all companies using the same ticker from all exchanges. Searching with $DWS in this manner cites BNN as the reason for its big move in line with 5i's response, but also returns news spam from dubious financial websites and info about DWS Group, which shares the same ticker. Nonetheless this method can frequently provide quick satisfaction during those what-the-heck-is-going-on moments!

Q: Hello 5i team,
I want to add some funds to the energy and financial sectors and I currently hold both ENB and FSZ from the model portfolios. Both have had increasing dividends for the past 5 years but both have also gone down in the past year.

I was wondering if you have any idea why FSZ has declined and if it is still ok to add to both these holdings?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Greetings 5i,

Why is Ford so out of favour? 5.5% div and near 52 week and 5 year lows. With the current Trade concerns is it perhaps oversold? I certainly like the product.

Cheers!

Q: OSTK dipped 45.50 , then went up to 47. Should have sold but did not. Now it is at 35.50. I do not need tax loss. Should I dump it now or wait for it to come back? Do you have a sense of what is happening as it goes down even when US market is up last 2 days. Thanks. helen
