Investment Q&A

Q: OTC split 2 for 1, so I am confused as to what happened. I bought 100 pre-split @ $81 and would up with 200 post-split @ $63.
Is this an error?

Thanks.

Q: I looked at a summary of the their business activities and it seems to be principally with professional managers wherein the new disclosure rules will not be an issue. Do you have any information on how much of their income is derived from services to retail clients or others where the disclosure rules would be a factor?

Q: Do you see Sandvine as a potential takeover target? I've stuck with them because they seem to be in a business with good growth prospects, but I'm losing patience. Thinking of moving on.
Thanks.

Q: could you please provide me a feedback on these stocks? I want to buy first two and last one I am holding since long.
Thank you,
KT

Q: I own these 2 stocks in my RRSP. Both got clobbered due to their concentration in Alberta, and both eliminated their dividends. Is there any realistic hope of recovery or should I cut and run?

Q: Hi Gang.. For a swing or position trader in a winning trade and where the stock is now rising parabolically what’s the best way to exit the trade to optimize one’s gain ? Is it scaling out or selling all at once ? If scaling out then what is the best scaling method and if selling all then what’s the best method for determining the exit point ?

Thank You
Anthony

Q: My question is regarding the effect of (1) an increase in capital gains tax (2) an increase in taxes on dividends, by our new government. If the first happens, wouldn't money leave higher growth TSX stocks? I am not suggesting that an "exodus" would happen, but certainly a percentage of the holders would reconsider the validity of putting their cash at risk if the government retains (let's say) 25% more tax for the capital gains no? Now, if the second happens, wouldn't 3-4% dividend stocks attract less buyers? Why own a dividend stock with little growth if the government taxes it almost the same as income (for higher income brackets it would be the case)? Other members who are friends of mine have the same question. A blog about this would be awesome. Thank you!

Q: Treasury Metals TML reported good drill results from their property near Dryden Ontario. Stock moved from 65 cents to 80 cents on announcement. Any comment ? They are assessing bringing into production. Bob

Q: Hi. I've done quite well these past two years, thanks to your service. I recently bought DBO at .54. At the time of writing it is at .42. Is this a buying opportunity? Or should I proceed with caution?

Q: With the markets seeming to get a little frothy I'm wondering if you have identified any sector that seems to be out of favor at this time with a recommendation to specific stocks to add to growth portfolio

Q: From the 3 5i portfolios are there any stocks that you would NOT recommend buying at this time. Thanks. Ernie

Q: I hold TNC and have a made a handsome profit on it. My question is on the take over offer by PayPal, it seems low to me, at 5%, premium to its most recent price. Any advice?

Q: PHO vs XTC. I know totally different industries but which one will I be happier with in 10 years from now and why?

thanks for. your great service

Q: Good Morning
Firstly, thank you for guiding me towards TNC. Although the premium offered is disappointing I will still book a 50% profit in my TFSA on a company that was nowhere on my radar without 5i. I've narrowed down my replacement to either OTEK or PHO. do you prefer one over the other?
Thank you for your continued guidance

Q: I realize U.S. is not your area of focus but would appreciate any comments you might be able to make on this company including, if possible, expectations for its share price in the coming year. Many thanks.

Q: I am going to sell Veresen to reduce my energy exposure. I am overweight in financials so I am looking for suggestions in other sectors that would come close to replacing the 7% dividend I will lose on the sale of Veresen.
