Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have noted your critical comments from time to time about PLI management. We who have held this stock patiently for years and years share your frustration. But I think those who study the amazing product they are trying to licence realize it could well be a game changer for the sick people yearning for a cure. Anyone who buys into the drug field knows the process is long and tedious but if successful the prize is huge. So I am not sure it is fair to blame management for the delays; I think the system is what it is and we who believe in the product must sit and wait. I would appreciate your thoughts on my observations.
Thank you, Peter

Q: I own OHI (2% weighting) in my RRSP and over the past year have seen a decent run up in the stock. The dividend is now 8%. Can I get your thoughts on the company, short position and if you feel a move out of OHI to either BIIB or PFE would be advisable. Or just add a 2% position in these other two companies? 15+ year investment horizon.

Q: Greetings team 5i,

Beside my core portfolio, I invest about 5% of my money in a “fun” portfolio. It has not been much fun recently. I bought ABBV (at the top) in order to write covered calls and cash-secured uncovered puts.

These calls, written just out-of-the-money and puts written just in-the-money on Mondays with the expiry date on the Friday of the same week, have produced premiums ranging from $US0.81 to $US2.73 which happened this week.

Why is there such a wide range of premium prices and what do the higher premiums suggest?

Thank you.

Milan

Q: I have been investing in the market for 45 years now, many wonderful gains and some 100% loses, example Worldcom(fraud), ask Bernie to confirm. From all my major loses i try to learn something that will help me in the future. I was surprised that you bought into the stock when it was already up a lot and was really pumped by a couple of guests on BNN. My concern with this company was that it was doing nothing new and was competing with major health companies in the US that had market caps in the billions. If this was not some new major new mousetrap, the headwinds for this tiny company were just too risky. Did 5i get caught up in this hype on BNN and the canadian market rise so fast, and in the end, what did 5i learn from this type of investing in the future?
