Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your recommendation to "do nothing" with CRH is probably the main reason why I bought and continue to subscribe to your service. Understanding you won't always be right it's comforting to have a professional opinion on matters that would often lead to panic decisions. Thanks.

On that note, why did you lean towards "do nothing" as the appropriate action? How did you weigh this decision? What criteria? Is this a gut decision? Is there a strategy at play with upcoming earnings (i.e. determining if results fit in with your long term investment thesis)?

Q: While topical to CRH today, this is more of a general question. My concern has always been that CA firms have done their audit and interim reports are being printed just prior to the release of numbers (in this case next Wednesday). While I acknowledge CA firms have a reputation to keep, I just have to believe a lot of eyes get to see these numbers before they are published. In your opinion, is there some reason to be worried that a major drop in a stock just prior to numbers being made public, may be a sign someone with loose lips has seen the numbers and is advising insiders to bail before the release? Or should I simply stop playing detective?

Q: Hello Peter,
CRH is down considerably. Based on your previous replies, it appears there were a few large blocks of shares sold (over 20K shares). I am not sure if that caused the stock to take a hit. However, on March 24, 2017, a director sold a large amount of shares ($5M plus). As well, there were other directors that sold in March and yet no impact on share price. I am not clear why such as drastic move today unless something is going on that is not reported yet. Any comments. Thank you

Q: Hi, I have the above stock in non registered account. As of today I lost $4000 US , bought it at 102 and now $67 $ US. What do you recommend? Sell it and claim loss or wait till it recover or add more to it. I added to it when it became $70 US. But it seems it is not doing well. I appreciate your ultimate decision on it or if there is any US solid stocks that you recommend. Thanks
