Q: I have these in a robo managed portfolio and am down 25% on ZFL and 5.4% on ZAG and 8.2% on XSH.
Since it appears interest rates appear to be stabilizing should one hold on for a recovery or try a different strategy or different holdings. Perhaps maybe moving to GIC or HISA EFT or other holdings you may suggest. Or do you think the same recovery may be seen by continuing to hold?
This loss seems to be an issue with those that have to go managed funds and mutuals with a balanced EFT portfolio.
I am going to transfer from so called managed to my own managed EFT's to avoid the fees. Think I can do just as well (or poorly depending on how you look at it) but wondering if I should switch holdings when moving funds to self directed EFT's.
I do have a separate portfolio with individual stocks, so this is basically a portfolio to minimize management and time requirements.

Q: Thoughts on these two results and forward outlook?

DOL - had a solid beat and raised guidance, guidance and growth look strong still. Stock down currently on the results.

TVK - sales beat, profit down, div up 20%. For growth and acquisition companies like this, do you like to see a 20% div increase vs other "better" capital allocation ideas such as buying back shares, re-investing capital into more organic growth, etc.. Thoughts? Looking to add more to a smallish position.

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Argonaut Gold has announced that it has just completed a Follow-on-Equity Offering of CAD $80 million. Is this a positive for the company or is the further dilution a reason to sell and move on to something else. There are already over a billion shares, and I am assuming this is before the recent offering. Do you think the market has already priced in this further dilution. Also what does 'Follow-on-Equity' mean.
Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,

The turnaround that began in early November on many preferred stocks already seems to be reversing on some of them and heading back towards their lows. Is there a logical reason for this? (My question concerns perpetual preferreds, here are some examples - MFC.PR.C or FTS.PR.F)

Any information is welcome.

Thank you

Q: In my investing account, Telus is rated a sell based on 4 analyst sells, 6 holds, and 1 buy. I just read your comparison with BCE, and it seems to me that while you prefer BCE, you hardly regard Telus as a sell. I hold both and was planning to continue. Would you see any objection? (I'm retired)
