Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I own TMA in a margin account and would like your advice as to what to do: should I wait for the $6.25 price when (and if) it goes private, or should I sell into the market at the current price (it closed today at $6.16)? Having used the proceeds of Contrans CSS (when they were bought out) to buy Trimac, I'd rather not replace TMA with another transportation stock. If I do sell now, can you recommend a few suitable replacements in the Industrial sector?
As always, thanks for your valued advice.

Q: Hello Team,
Can you help clarify for me what seems to be a contradiction. Markets are supposed to have priced in the possibility of a US rate increase sometime this year. Yet, when the Fed minutes released today (May 18) indicate that may indeed be the case, markets react with volatility (i.e., gold down, oil down, US dollar up, financial stocks up, etc.).
My question is, if the market has priced in a rate increase, why is there so much volatility when there is the hint it might actually happen?
Thank you, Michael

Q: Swift Energy is a name I purchased on the OTC market (www.swiftenergy.com). It went through a bankruptcy proceeding and equity holders came away with equity and warrants. I can't find where the equity and warrants are trading now. Can you assist? Thanks in advance.

Q: Silver stocks. I checked performance one month, three months, 6 months and one year on fr,mag,paa and sso. Fr came out number one,mag number two paa number three and then sso.
Silver stocks don't seem to have the volatility on the downside that gold shares do. Would you prefer silver shares to gold and silver vs. gold. I own all four and have been selling my gold shares and reinvesting funds into the 4 silver companies mentioned. It is working out in my favour. Are there any other Silver companies I should own ? Do you agree with my strategy. Silver looks better than Gold ?

Q: Hello Team,
In one of Peter's recent articles he indicated that sector selection was more important than the choice of specific stocks within the sector.
Could you advise which sectors you suggest would have the greatest momentum over the next year or two.
And, if you want to throw in a couple of sector gems I won't complain.
As always, really appreciate your help.

Q: Peter: The IKN blog seems to think that the $27MM bought deal was solely for "defensive purposes" to avoid a take-over by Tahoe and the likes. What is your opinion on this. If this is true, could you explain why. I seems to me that any bidder would inherit this extra cash - isn't this a good thing ?? Thxs, Ralph.
