Q: Hello 5i
1) On Nov. 28, 2018 your answer to Charlie regarding CGX was, "a stock that can decline 29% in a year is likely not right for a retiree". As a retiree myself , and down 30% plus on WCP, DOL and KWH.UN, would your answer be the same? Also, would you sell them now, and could you suggest replacements?
2) Including the market we are presently in, is there a percentage decline in price that you would suggest a retiree to cut losses and sell? Thank you for your help. Happy Holidays to Everyone at 5i, Bill

Q: Would you mind commenting on LGT.B’s 3rd quarter numbers released in early November? There was weakness in “environmental services” segment but otherwise they seemed to have done quite well. They also seemed to be quite positive about the 4th quarter. The stock price has just gone down and, as you have noted, there is not much float. I am thinking of adding to my existing position. ( I got a double on the stock but my weighting is low due to the lack of liquidity).
Thanks,
Jim

Q: so when someone asks you aquestion would you purchase tsgi or gc for a3 year hold you chose gc, does that mean your backing away from tsgi, i would not blame you because something is definitely wrong with tsgi.
also would you buy more shopify right here considerably below the fund raise, i already own 750 shares and it has been just about the only tech stock that has performed lately. dave

Q: In an earlier answer you quoted the NWC release that stated Q3 EPS at 78 cents and well above consensus of 53 cents. I use Thompson Reuters data and they adjust occasionally for unusual items. In this case the adjusted EPS for NWC is 49 cents. I presume this is due to the insurance claim revenue being removed from the earnings. Do you always take the reported EPS or do you adjust for extraordinary items such as this at times and if so when? Could you comment further on this to clarify as without using consistent data we are not much further ahead than using no data. Thanks.
