Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello, I am wondering where you guys can put the floor price for that stock (where is become so cheap that big investors will buy the stock) considering the fact that it seems that there is no institutional appetite for that stock even if it is falling like a rock and become cheaper...

The apparent "cheap" valuation of the company at this point does not seem to attract any big players and even if I believe in the company's potential.

I am scratching my head due to the fact that there is actually mostly short sellers attracted to the stock and as the share price keep falling, the company seems less and less it seems to me that the company lost control of its own destiny.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I am currently up 48% on CXI and am contemplating switching to Savaria (SIS). This would be within my TFSA. I am overweight financials (as most Canadians probably are..) and currently underweight industrials.
Would you endorse such a move; are there any "red flags" you would see to such a switch? Any thoughts or comments would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: you seem to get a question on couche tard everytime it declines, and i know it is one of your favorites.
so is the recent decline due to sector rotation, cdn dollar strength, margins on gas etc or what.
i would think with the recent purchse of esso stations in mtl, possible bidding on valero and loblaws stations the stock would be rising, also most targets are in the 70 dollar range. dave

Q: I hold these 3 plus XLV in the health care portion of my portfolio. Not adverse to risk but I am wondering whether CXR is worth the grief. Is there a case for focussing on the others, or does the risk/reward of CXR make it worthwhile holding?
