Q: You have repeatedly recommended PBH, TSGI and PHO in your portfolios, so I am interested at starting positions in PBH and TSGI, and adding to my existing position in PHO.
While I like that they have all come down in price, I am hesitant to buy because you recommend buying into positive momentum not negative.
I use stockcharts for my evaluations before I buy so my question is: How would you determine when to enter a stock showing negative momentum using technicals? Do you wait until it crosses the xx day ema, MACD crosses positive, RSI above 50, etc.?

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I had to dump TCEHY for a 15% loss today after riding it down from the highs based on continued negative volatility with the stock. I am thinking of buying some of your favorites to replace it, with stable growth in mind. I am looking for companies that have also pulled back recently, and that you consider a good buying opp today. I am looking at initiating a position in CSU, COV, PBH, and possible ADDING to TSGI as I am now down 20% on that one and am thinking that averaging down may be the thing to do here soon. Do you have any other better suggestions or top picks you can suggest? ( I already own TOY, PHO, GSY, FB, BABA, ENB, RHT, HD) Thanks for you input.
Shane.

Q: Hi, Market reaction on PBH earnings was spot on, as you anticipated. We were able to add few shares, at the open. Thank You.

On Stars Group, do you have further insight as to the reasons for lower guidance ? Stock is weak this morning, as you expected but I am hesitant to add at this point. I know, you like to look past a few quarters for long term growth potential but is it really worth to wait for recovery (20% + and how long ?) or better take the loss and move on. Thanks

Q: Prices are down quite a bit from their highs.
Do you think one of the reasons for the decline is a switch by some investors from growth to value?
If so and faced with higher interest rates in the future it might time for you to consider starting a value equity model portfolio
Please comment

Q: So the advice is not to buy in a downtrend but 5i continues to recommend Premium Brands although it has moved to $100 a share from $122. I owned it in the past and would
Iike to rebuy it but am afraid of catching a falling knife. Why the downturn in momentum. Is it too expensive. Would you start now with a two percent position.

Q: Hello 5i, Thanks very much for all you do for your members. I look at your organization as the "Robin Hood" of the Canadian financial industry. My question today is: I sold my ECI this last week and decided to capture the gain and redistribute to one new position with the proceeds. I'm looking for another dividend aristocrat (as identified by the S&P index or one that could be as CIX will be getting the boot) I'm closing in on retirement but still like to stay in the growing type names. Not terribly worried about maximizing my income at this point. Which of my choices do you think has the most upside over the next 5 years.
