Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have an "overweight" position in this stock (not overly so, perhaps 8%). Thank you, it has done very well. However, though I appreciate one should not make much of one days price action, I did note quite a volume spike on todays sell off. I also have noted that not just one but a number of insiders have been selling over the last month or so. Certainly, the gains could justify some of that, but for one holding a relatively large position these indicators are troublesome. Given that my gains have been substantial, I am wondering if trimming, somewhat in accordance with the insider selling, may be appropriate.
I do note that, generally, "analysts" have been increasing target prices on this company which doesn't seem to "go to market". Makes me wonder if "something" is in the works?
Anyway, I would certainly appreciate your considered opinion on what is going on with this one and whether a trimming, rather than just letting winners run, may be appropriate here.
Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i super team!! I have a hypothetical question...I am a dividend investor. I do not subscribe to automatic dividend reinvestment, rather, I collect the cash and then selectively reinvest the cash in the stock that seems to have the best value. Suppose I own stocks A B C D E...all are overvalued except C which is a bank. Even though, the price of the bank is at the higher end of its 52 week range, and even though the stock potentially faces future head winds, do I keep reinvesting the dividend cash into this stock? If it holds a higher than7% presence in the portfolio at what point do I stop reinvesting the dividends into it and perhaps selecting to invest in the next best valued on the list? I am looking for a rule of thumb here if there is one. Hope you have a great weekend! I hear it is going to be a hot one 😎😎😎

Q: Hi,

Finally opened a TFSA 6 months ago. Contributed $10K so far and expect to be contributing $1,000 - 1,500 per month for the indeterminate future.

Currently hold AQN (28%), MFC (24%), GUD (10%), PHO (7%), PEO (6%) and cash (25%). Looking at the following to use up the cash: ENB, SYZ, ITC, OTEX, SIS. I am open to any of your recommendations. Should I wait a couple of months to accumulate more cash?

Thanks.

Q: I see that Valiant has some assets that other will purchase. Does CXR have any assets that people would want to purchase. VRX had a pop of 10 % today on announcement of selling assets. Any hope for CRX selling something to get a pop in their shares or is it DEAD ! I noticed CXR was up today. Was that in sympathy to VRX move ? RAK

Q: Could you please give your thoughts on Dream Global and future prospects. They seem to be doing the right things in terms of recycling older buildings and reducing exposure to Deutsche Post along with acquiring better properties. They have fully deployed the proceedings of the bought deal with the announcement yesterday of the acquisition in Stuttgart. Most of the mortgages in Germany are around 1.7% and should not be affected for the most part by rising rates.

I doubt they will increase distributions anytime in the near future but my yield on cost is above 10% and the holding is around 6% of my portfolio. Thank you for your work.
