Investment Q&A

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

Q: What is your perspective on Agt for a dividend growth portfolio either full or Half position. I had heard they have an investment in Ukraine which has me concerned. Is this significant and which area of Ukraine are they invested if at all.
Ps was there an email that went out on Cxr. I didn't see it so I was wondering if there was another type of notification or did I miss it? Mike

Q: I would appreciate your comments on PLI's announcement this morning that it plans to acquire all of the shares of Telesta Therapeutics. Also is private equity or a large controlling shareholder behind PLI? In thie press release management exudes a lot of confidence about the future and it is hard to assess whether their confidence is misplaced.

Thank you, Peter

Q: Peter and team,

Home Capital has responded to the short report (at least it appears they have) and the market appears to like the response. What are your thoughts on the release? Does it go far enough to make you feel "warm and fuzzy," in response to the allegations of the short report?

Thanks,

Marc

PS. Congratulations on the enormity of you success... its helping my savings grow and my wife feel more comfortable in our financial future :)

Q: I have a lump sum that I received from the sale of a rental property and I'm looking at deploying the capital in the stock market. My question is around portfolio construction or how to deploy a lump sum of money. Do you build half positions in the companies you like and look at adding to the positions on pullbacks or do you initiate full positions if the valuation is reasonable?

Finally, once the portfolio is largely complete, do you recommend only trimming and adding at month-end or once a month? It seems like this would avoid unnecessary trading fees and limit too much trading activity.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Monitoring Dividend Stocks: I would appreciate your advice as to how investors can monitor and stay on top of bad news, particularly for smaller, riskier dividend stocks.

Example: I have a small position in GRC/Genville Strategic Royalty Corp. I missed the news of the poor results in May. The stock price dived down, and has stayed down. (As of today, the capital loss 49%.) The dividend was cut 27%. How can one avoid or limit losses in similar situations. Also, do you advocate selling a stock as soon as a dividend cut is announced, or anticipated?
