Investment Q&A

Q: Looking to add one more stock to my non registered portfolio as a long term hold. I am buying mostly for income and stability. some growth would be nice. Which would you pick between ET and ABT?

Q: Could you please explain to me, if this deal does not go through, which if feel will not at this price, do the insiders that offered there shares get them back or does Starwood now own them?
Thank you so much!

Q: EGT just news released today at 2:00 pm, and the stock ended up 40%. Basically, Eguana Technologies and Bosch are collaborating on a Home Battery System (HBS) project, which will be on display at DistribuTECH in San Diego, CA from January 31 - February 2, 2017.

It's now 55% of my company. Do you think I might actually consider buying more, holding, or selling a small portion, tomorrow?

Also, I today transferred $5500 of stock-in-kind into my TFSA, at the low of the day ($0.235, but it closed at .33). I know I will have to pay a possible capital gains tax for the deemed disposition, but it also allows me to transfer a larger amount of shares into my TFSA. Is there something I'm missing, or is that the logical thing to do, assuming that the stock,1-5 years from now, will inevitable be much higher?

Thanks,
David

Q: earlier today you said that while Arx is a "decent company and management but not your favorite" what would your Cdn. O/G favorites be?

Q: In a TFSA, 5+ year hold, if purchasing today, would you buy ALA, BEP.UN, or FTS.

Kind regards
Stan

Q: PIH seems to be getting some traction. Volume is up as is price. Would you buy now or wait for quarterly release in early Feb?

Q: Hi,

Would you be a buyer of ABT now, or would it be more prudent to wait until after their next earnings release, which I believe Feb 6?

Thanks,Brad

Q: Hi 5i,
I have held for nyx for sometime. Very very frustrating. When do they report?
I'm thinking of selling it and moving into either itc or pho. What do you think. Thank you as always.

Q: I am down about 20-25% but willing to hang on. Should I?
Hold or sell.
Thanks

Q: In your experience would you expect the shares of JPJ-LSE and ITX-T to trade in unison? I guess there is no way to determine how many choose the exchangeable option, my concern would be liquidity issues on the TSX and the size of the float. It looks like JPJ is up about 8% in the first couple of days on the LSE.

Q: Hi, Spin Master was clawing its way back up in past 2 weeks, but again took a hit today morning. Down 5% !! Is the same class action news causing this ? I have a full position. Results are still several weeks away. should I be worried ? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, any insight into the huge spike in volume for Sylogist today? Huge volume and a 2 percent bump, should we take this as a good sign? Rob

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Is it too early to wonder if the "story" is changing since you last issued your opinion on the company in September 2016?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi, SIMO is off about 30% from it's high and the short interest looks high. Are you aware of any particular concern with this company going forward? I'm down 10% and concerned if it breaks through $40 it could go much lower. Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.

Q: Good morning. Just a quick funny (not so funny?) thought in reply to Dave's question regarding the freshi IPO and your answer. It strikes me that it is a lot like trying to get concert tickets prior to the resellers getting them all and reselling them at an inflated price! I guess it's the world we mere mortals live in.

Q: I would appreciate if you can provide pros and cons of ARC resources.

Q: Tuckamore (TX) recently changed its name to Clearstream Energy Services (CSM). Its stock has risen quite smartly recently. What is your outlook for CSM going forward?
Thanks!

Q: Would you hesitate to recommend Nfi and Afn now that trump has said that he would impose tariffs on foreign goods?

Q: Within my energy holdings, I have full positions in SU, CNQ, and IMO. I would like to sell one of these 3 and add to my existing VET holdings (I also have full positions in WCP and TOU). Taking into account my desire to have a good balance between oil and gas production, and optimal future capital gains prospects, which of the 3 (SU, CNQ, IMO) would you sell? Also, please provide the percentage of revenue for each of the 6 companies mentioned, that is derived from Canada's oil sands...thx..Glenn
