Q: Hi, I just became a 5i member and this is my first question. After firing my financial advisor, I have become a do-it-yourself investor and regularly surpass the returns of what my paid advisor used to obtain. I have kept a few of those positions, waiting for the right time to sell. Unfortunately, one is ARG. I bought at $1.72 and hold 1,900 shares in my RSP account. It trades around 40 cents now. Should I continue to hold and not crystallize my losses or sell? Thank you.
Q: The S&P Dow Jones Indices has just announced additions and deletions to the S&P/TSX Canadian Indices. For example, companies such as SUM has been added while companies such as DH, NFI, STN, WCP have been deleted. What does this mean? Do stock prices rise or fall on such changes?
Would index focussed fund manager purchases or sells also affect prices? Thanks!
Q: I am interested in your opinion on a penny stock (Digital Media - PN) that supplies the ability to process photo orders on line for the likes of Costco and now the Office Depot and Staples customers. They have no debt, big name relationships, but have yet to turn a profit.
Q: I am hearing good things about LNG in the near future. Could you talk a little about this (time frame)and the best way to play it? If the fall and winter seasons are generally good for the drillers, do we now have 2 catalysts for companies like PD? Do you like another driller going forward?
Q: Hi Peter,
Wondering why the pipeline stocks in Canada and the US (except for IPL) are going sideways or down, while the rest of the oil and gas sector is doing well. Is it only because of their higher yield, or is there something else?
Q: Hi Peter:
I have owned shares in SU, CNQ, CVE for awhile (over 2 years);
recently, Suncor has been outperforming the rest
I also noted that the volume of Su in NYSE has also been very active, one of the commentators at BNN said that street consensus is $ 42
Could I have your insight why SU is outperforming the rest and is the target of $ 42 is achievable in the short term of within 6 months ? thanks
Majic Formula Investing screener is picking up WTW in the US as a value pick. What do you think about this company in general and the Majic Formula Investing method of stock picking. They claim to have yielded good results over a long time frame but their holding period is one year
Q: Hi team, I don't know if this question will provide an answer so I'll give it a shot.
Mortgages- is it wise while rates are low (mine is 3.09 fixed 5 year term ) to put additional money on your mortgage to pay down the principal or would you be inclined to invest it elsewhere for a higher return? My thinking is to pay additional payments on a mortgage while rates are so low. Whats your take?
Cheers
