Q: Hi Peter & 5i: A question about analysts’ coverage. I have read your previous answers about what to make of an analyst’s rating of an individual stock. Each weekday I receive an email from Analyst Ratings Network. I am not a paying subscriber, though they try to sell me more in-depth information from time to time. What I receive is just a daily update on analysts’ coverage divided into three categories: upgrades, downgrades, and new coverage. Usually it’s a quick delete but once in a while there is something interesting, if not exactly useful. Today there were listings indicating that Goldman Sachs Group Inc are initiating new coverage of a whole raft of precious metals stocks, including Barrick, Agnico, Yamana, Eldorado, Goldcorp, IAMGold, Kinross, Newmont, New Gold, PanAm Silver, Royal Gold, and Silver Wheaton: pretty much the whole sector, at least as far as Canadian companies that have a listing on a US exchange go. The initial ratings included buys, neutrals, and sells. So my question is: what if any significance would you read into a brokerage like Goldmans initiating coverage on an entire group like that within a relatively small and still quite beaten down sector? Thanks, as always!

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.
