Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning.

Your 15% prediction on AGT seems to be holding as accurate.

My question is what should a holder of the stock do with this drop? I own in an RRSP and thus have no tax advantage to sell but if a rebound is unlikely I will suck it up and move on.

Would you
1. Sell
2. Hold
3. Average down

Please explain the fundamental reasons for your recommendation along with best course of action

Thank you in advance

Q: I have sold 40% of my shopify position to take some profit and am now sitting with 6% cash in my non registered investment account. What options might be available to me to park the cash until I see some exceptional buying opportunities. Second question is that I am seeing several investment articles recommend a larger cash position as there may be a correction given very high valuations that appear to have too much "hype or anticipation" factored in. What percentage would you recommend I maintain in my investment account. I am sitting at approximately 6% in my non registered account and 10 % in my RRSP. Thank you for the great service.

Q: I tried to search the site in the blog section for information on the 5% suggestion for individual stocks. No actual search feature for individual articles. so could I get a reason for the purpose of the suggestion. How it should work ie if you have 7% do go back to 5 or let it ride and wait what would the top percentage when to trim. I have TD up 0ver 200% at 12% of portfolio but it is a good dividen payer and stable stock??

Q: The trading halt by IIROC puzzled me. And just before the close, AGT released preliminary Q1 results which doesn't look good. What information that IIROC had that would trigger this halt? Early in the morning National Bank cut target price from 42 to 36. Did they know something? How are the preliminary results compared to analysts estimate? Thanks.

Q: Just a follow up on the question today about healthy menu companies, I might suggest Ten Peaks as well. Decaf coffee sales are on the rise and the Swiss Water Process ( ie Ten Peaks) is regarded as the premier method. Their 1st Q earnings come out next week so we will have a better idea of business at that time.

Q: Hi,
I'm young and have good income, good risk tolerance and no need to withdrawal any of my investment dollars anytime soon. I'm looking for long term growth mostly. Currently I hold the listed stocks, do you see any names that jump out as really bad/ should sell? Is anything really lacking and maybe should be added? Right now everything is held in a tfsa.

Thanks!
Dave
