Investment Q&A

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

Q: I tried to read your answer to a question on Wayfair from August 5/16, but it wouldn't open. (Maybe a glitch with the new site.) I'm just wondering what you think of this stock going forward, especially considering today’s carnage. Goldman Sachs recently endorsed it as one of their top 23 “secular growth stocks”.

Q: 5-I,

Love the new website, particularly the ability to mark questions as favourites ! Obviously a lot of thought and work has been put into this.

You advertise as being completely unbiased as you do not allow your staff to own stocks you follow or comment on. I would like to put forth my thoughts on this and invite other 5-I subscribers to as well. As an investor I want as knowledgeable and thorough a person as possible on the guiding end. I do not care what stocks he or she owns. I believe most of the 5-I subscriber base relies on stocks that are traded in sufficient volume to negate any possibility of a pump and dump routine of a staffer. I follow two popular investment writers from the Globe and Mail and if either ever writes about a stock they own, they simply acknowledge their personal ownership. Actually I feel better that they have the confidence to invest in it themselves.
I think this will come into play even more if you decide ( hopefully ) to someday cover American stocks. I really don't want someone advising me about stocks who doesn't invest in any equities at all. You would not attract the best candidate with this approach. 5-I and its client base deserve as good a quality advisor in the future as you currently have now.

Q: Thank you for your help regarding historical valuations of young davidsons mine which was taken over by Alamos gold. Thanks to you we were able to get the stock certificates issued in my mother-in-laws name. Now she wants to sell the certificates and I need to determine the value my father-in-law paid for the original 1000 shares of young Davidson's mine August 24 1984. Can you help?
I love the new web site and please extend my thanks Lana for suggesting using Chrome to fix my issues accessing the site on the iPad.

Q: Hello 5i,
Congratulations for your new website and thank you for your good work.

In my TFSA, I have the following stocks:

Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Inc.
Chesswood Group
Crescent Point Energy
Photon Control (You had recommended this one a few months ago, and I am up 16%. Thank you for the good recommendation.)
Sherritt Intl.

I am down 70% on Crescent Point and 55% for Sherritt.

I have a 10 year plus investing time horizon.

Should I hold onto CPG and S and just be patient?
If not, and you recommend to sell either one or both of them, what stock(s) would you recommend as a replacement?

I am looking for growth and income.
Currently, CPG is around $4,000 and so is S.
Thank you.
