Investment Q&A

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

Q: SH-N With the US market having been on an upside ride for a while and at fairly lofty levels, does the risk/ reward ratio of using SH to short the market in order to protect myself against losing some of my gains seem like a reasonable trade? SH appears to be at about a 5 year low.

Q: hello 5i:
I've read your answers to previous questions regarding Cameco and the uranium industry (lukewarm would be my description of your opinion), and am wondering if your opinion for the industry has changed at all from November. I note that Japan has said that they will continue their nuclear program, and that China is planning at least 4 new reactor sites. I also read that demand already exceeds supply. Can I have your take please? Are my sources questionable?
thanks
Paul

Q: Hi team, over the last year I was having trouble finding individual stock to buy so I just slowly built up a fairly large position in XTR which is nearing 6% weighting in my portfolio. But quite frankly I have begun to enjoy the monthly income, so my question is in your opinion is the distribution sustainable, or should I sell a little off? I have it in my wife's RRSP and my kids RESP.

Q: Hi everyone a few years back I took a position in Leisure world LW at about $10.00 in my TFSA. Some TV experts seem luke warm to this REIT, saying that making money in senior cars is tough. My view is that they are in a high demand area so I am still holding. Is the senior care sector a bad investment area, or should I just sit back and collect my 7% until I need to move into one of their facilities?

Q: Hi again, I went into Game Host GH several years back at about $11.00 looking for a little dividend income, which they have consistently delivered. However today it broke through $13.00 and I am still holding. They have never missed a divided payment and their Casinos and hotels seem fine, so do I just sit back and collect or sell? I would be interested in your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Thanks for a great first year of interesting and profitable investment advice. I will be renewing soon and look forward to the coming year of 5i reports.
My question concerns what seems to me to be contradictory advice having to do with portfolio rebalancing.
My approach is both capital gains and growing income for retirement. I have 20 stocks in my portfolio with what I consider to be good names such as STN, TRP, ALA, ESL, SYZ, AYA, BCE, etc. To me, some of my holdings are just getting rolling. If I sell back to 5% every time there is a rise in the share price it seems as if I am eroding my possibilities of future price and income gains (especially given the good prospects of dividend increases).
In a recent answer you said that an investor should not sell a good stock just because it is up. How do you reconcile these two assertions? Thanks again for the excellent service and have a great 2013. Rob

Q: Pelangio (px) any comment. I would like to make a comment your answer to Paul about your rating system was so enlightening when you said the mistake most investors make is to sell a good company to take a profit. I have regrettably been guilty of that. I can mention two TRP and Cineplex is it to late to get back in.
