Investment Q&A

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

Q: DBO is planning to get permission from stock holders at its annual & special meeting on Aug 17,2016 for a ten for one reverse split.In my experience this is never good for small investors because once the reverse takes place the value of the stock invariably drops.If it goes through, should I sell? Could you tell me why they are doing this other than to attract larger buyers who can't purchase stocks under 5 or 6 dollars.DBO has 175 million shares out. What do you think of that number? Does it need a reduction. As always thanks for your advice in advance.

Q: Thank you 5i for your excellent service!!!

I have divided up my portfolio into thirds.
One third is a diverse group of ETFs.
One third is cash and a group fluid group of stocks made up primarily from stocks you recommend. SJ, CCL, SIS, KXS... etc.
One third is made up of the seven stocks listed above. Do you have any concerns about any of these being a long term hold. I know Magna is cyclical but is that a concern?
Cheers,
Bryan

Q: this question is about i shares silver trust etf, slv:us, just in case your section above does not pick up the stock again!
Do you think this is a good way to invest in silver, my understanding is that it holds the actual sliver. also the forward calls on this product seem to have a very reasonable spread, as far as risk reward goes it seems like a good way to get some torque on a 3 to 6 month trade on silver, realizing of course your call premium could expire worthless.
thanks TOM
