Q: Good Morning Peter & team

XBC down almost 30% in the past month and just under 10% on the day today Feb 23. To be fair it is a down day for the markets in general - nothing goes straight up. However, the recent trend is alarming.

Anything you have seen which would account for recent losses? And I imagine your view of XBC hasn't changed?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Doing a little research for additions to my TFSA. Looking at GSY, WELL and XBC. I find it curious that GSY has a market cap for approx. $1.9 billion and trades at $125 per share, while the other two have market caps of approx. $1.4 billion and trade at sub $10. Is this a lesson in the difference between a Company growing organically vs growing through acquisitions and issuing large amounts of stock. I'm not saying that the other 2 aren't good companies, but I find it curious that they have similar market caps, yet their share price is ten times higher. Thoughts?

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Real Matters has experienced weakness in the last few months (as most of your readers know).

But in the past week, there was a gap down and I think it has more to do with their competitive position in the market related to the pending merger between CoStar and Corelogic (which I would think is Real Matters competition). What do you think about this? Do you know if this will have a material change in their ability to gain market share in the Appraisals business?

Q: This is a question about transferring GSY from my growth portfolio to my balanced portfolio. Both portfolio's are balanced and diversified. (I also have an income portfolio.) GSY is now more than 10% weight in my growth portfolio. And the balanced portfolio is 3 times plus the size of my growth portfolio. Transferring GSY from growth to balanced would mean not having to trim GSY....and my inclination to do this transfer stems from the recent move of SHOP from growth to balance, as I think GSY is now "mature". What say you about this transfer idea?.........Tom

Q: I sold my shares on SHOP the day before its earnings release which turned out to be a good move, and I lost my LSPD after its earnings to a stop loss at $90. I'm thinking that if I want to get back into one of them that LSPD would be preferred at this time because it will benefit from the re-opening trade, particularly restaurants, whereas re-opening will be of little benefit to SHOP. Do you agree?

Q: Hi 5i,
In the company reports you have a graph with Blue and Brown lines. What do they signify? In the recent DND report the Blue line is 80.32 and the Brown line is 43.98.
Thanks for the help.

Q: Thanks for your response to my previous query regarding validations for BEPC. I am aware of how the stock has done and management quality. What I was hoping for were some metrics , growth rates, revenue, earnings , etc that you see going forward that would provide some basis for evaluation of the shares. Also some comparison with other companies in the same sector based on similar parameters would be helpful. Would appreciate your comments and input please to the extent you feel is reasonable.Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Your member question/s policy has been change ? As I see too many members ask questions of 2,4,6 or even 10 stock questions and looks like they use this service as "personal portfolio manager", your answer only good to that member only and do not benefit other members at all. It feels like waste of time to go through the question section these day !
I sure hope you goes back to your original policy - one stock per question - to the benefit of all members.
Thank you as always,
One of the starting members,
Tak

Q: For New money to initiate positions which 5 stocks in each of the portfolios would you recommend investing. On a related note, is there a reason you don’t put buy or hold or buy up to prices in any of the portfolios, or is your stance if it is in there it is a buy regardless of how much a stock may have run up since it was originally recommended.
