Q: Please comment on my attempt to trim. 100 shares of CSU was purchased at $116. Present value is $196. It is now 9.8% of my portfolio which is about $200,000. If I sell 30 shares at $196 that would reduce the holding to 6.9% of my portfolio. Is this worth the effort?
I also own 600 shares of ESL @ $27.76. This is 8.3% of my portfolio. If I sell 100 shares that would reduce this holding to 5.4%. Alan W.

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
My question is about Avigilon (AVO- TSX). At first I could not understand why it was rated B+. It seemed so extremely expensive. Now I fully understand. I have learned from 5i Research that the great growth companies almost never get cheap. From your vast experience how do you think the AVO story will play out over the next 3-5 years ??? Thank you. DL

Q: "Watch financings. Stay away from most companies that issue stock at lower levels than the last financing. This is horrible for shareholder value." From your answer this AM would this apply to AVO "have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis pursuant to the filing of a short form prospectus, an aggregate of 2,489,800 Common Shares at a price of $24.10 per Common Share (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds to Avigilon of $60,004,180."

Thank You

Q: I bought Blackberry on the way down over the past few weeks to average down cost per share and thus my potential loss if the $9.00 per share offer worked out. We now know the sale to Fairfax didn't happen. Would it be wise for me to now sell all of my stock, and wait 30 days to get the tax loss, and re-evaluate at that time if I even dare to entertain owning shares in Blackberry ever again? Surely even if Mr Chen is a miracle worker it would be unlikely to happen that fast. comments please

Q: Hi,

With regards to your reply to my question on RDL, in one of the previous posts you said that it has fallen a lot considering the CEO departure. With regards to the cashflow being negative, how do we find this information. Is it becuase their revenue in the next quarter is going down. Should that not be factored into the prices when the news came out on 29 October. I purchased this at 4.30 so I am losing nearly half the value and wondering what went wrong.
