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 a follow up question to your reply on a question earlier today on Photon:
" PHO has just broken out to a new high on good volume. Typically, this would not be a good time to sell after such a good move. There are no guarantees, of course, and it will fluctuate a lot, but we would view it as a 3 to 5 year position."

What are realistic expectations of returns for holding for his time, how do monitor the results and what flags do you/we look for if the growth is not working?

Thanks

Q: The laggards in my portfolio are currently NFI, CCL, GTE (only oil & gas exposure) and CBL. Would you suggest dumping any of these names/replacing them with other names or would you suggest holding them for now? Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi team,

This question is probably going to highlight my ignorance in this area only, but I am going to ask it any: Would it make sense for CSU to take over DSG in a mega deal? Would there be any synergies from a friendly acquisition? If yes, why CSU is not interested in DSG? or similar large Canadian software companies?
I have both and not sure if there are any advantages in keeping both.
Your feedback and insight is much appreciated.

Q: I recently read that the energy companies that will benefit most from rising oil prices are conventional producers with low debt. Given this, I am thinking of replacing a position in SGY with WCP. Does this make sense to you? I also have a position in RRX that I would keep.

Q: Hello 5i,

Just a question about insider purchases ...
BDI has had ongoing purchases by Edward Kernaghan, of Indirect Ownership of Common Shares.
https://www.canadianinsider.com/company?ticker=BDI
For the past couple of months he (or his groupl) have been buying small (<500) and large lots (>60,000) on a daily basis.
I am assuming he is purchasing these for clients but it seems odd that it has been going on for as long as it has (since October).
From your experience, what if any insight can be gleaned form this information?
Any info or comments would be welcome!
Thanks,
