Investment Q&A

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

Q: I bought this stock at $20.00 this summer and at that time had a great looking chart. It went to $24.00 within a month and since then is falling like a rock. Yesterday the company an acquisition in Italie. Would this be the cause of the 10% drop today? Is there other news that we do not know about? Is the fundamentals still good for this company (PE, debt, PB,etc)?

Thank you and Merry Christmas to all 5i crew.

Paul

Q: Hi 5i, Seasons Greetings. I generally am a buy and hold type but could use some tax losses against earlier gains this year. The above mentioned stocks could be sold and repurchased in early January. Would that be prudent? Is there anything I should not repurchase? Thanks, Ted

Q: Hi Guys, my above holdings got wacked lately and was wondering if there is anything going on, from the above list should I sell anything besides WEED, are the institutions selling these companies because they think there is more to the downside? These are long term holdings are all up except for COV and KXS which I just bought before the tumble, not one of my best moves.

Thanks

Q: Good morning: I have owned BAD (in a Riff) for many years and have gained about 50,000. on it.. But since the short attack nothing is happening.. Question: What would you replace it with. I'm thinking about ATA. Please advise and also give me other suggestions. Thanks. Ernie

Q: Are you of 2 minds on ATA? I get the sense you like the company which seems to be doing well including setting new highs recently. One the other hand your comments seem to suggest that you don’t think it is really a growth company. Maybe you feel the valuation is too high for a slow growth company?
I like the momentum, the sector and the management. In spite of what my iPhone says they don’t pay a dividend so I sort of feel they are a growth company after all. They appear to straddle manufacturing and IT. I suspect there must be some tie-in with the University of Waterloo which may help them stay on top of the technology race.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Ji

Q: My daughter would like to invest in something Robotics related in her RRSP...thinking long term. Would ATA be a good offering even though it is near a high?
Any other ideas? Would XIT be too broad?
Much appreciated, Paul

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
You and your Team are good at answering impossible questions so I have another one for you. Firstly, you have a well diversified portfolio consisting of 23 stocks which is performing very well. All factors considered ...if you had to pick one of these for best value for either a short term trade or a 3-5 year period which would it be?
Thanks for your opinion which always provides another valuable dimension in dealing with Mr.Market!
Respectfully...

Q: I have held ATS for almost 3 years with a capital gain of 13%. I would like to see a larger gain in the future but note the fall in order bookings & backlog. Do you think this is a sign of future problems ? Do you think ATS is worth continuing to hold or are there other companies that you would favour. Other Industrial sector holdings are BOS, LNR, CJT, WSP, DRT, XTC, KBL.
Thank you as always.
