Q: Which of these 2 industrial stocks would you pick today and why.
Q: from p hodson moments ago.......
"Unfortunately we think too many investors are playing individual stocks and not following a portfolio approach"
bingo!
if you have a balanced portfolio, you hold 25 individual stocks averaging 2 - 5% each
on a 500k portfolio, if you had 5% in CXR and bought at the peak ($117) and sold today at $12.17 you would have lost $22,500 (ish)
on an absolute basis $22,500 hurts, yet a portfolio loss of 4.5% is nothing
even with this loss, chances are some of the other 24 issues were up and you clipped a few divvies and likely your portfolio is flat to + 3 - 4% ytd
yet people are greedy and contrary to accepted wisdom want to
over buy the most risky of assets
and then 'double down' to 'get back my money'.....
5I is not a baby sitting service; sometimes you must put on your big boy panties and learn to read a chart or at a minimum institute a system which will allow you to cut your losses
history repeats again and again and yet again
don't look now but the north American equity markets are at all time highs and sitting on deflating earnings and increasingly lower breadth......
maybe 4.5% was a gift; a wake up call as it were
cheers

Q: Alex,ceo(3.4% 0wner as at 9/15)has always marched to his own drums.He wants to achieve his vision of growth @ the expenses of profitability,shareholders,employees & the public.He may come to his senses when Avo drops to no man land. Trading was halted today pending news announcement of loss.Alex on BNN tomorrow
Q: I should have dumped CXR immediately after receiving your email on Friday, but incorrectly assumed that the 20% drop at the time was as bad as it would get and that I would just wait until I made some other portfolio tweaks next quarter.
I've decided that I am going to replace CXR with BIIB. Would I be best to do this immediately or wait another quarter? Can CXR really go any lower? Perhaps it will get a bounce and outperform BIIB in the short term as value investors move in?

Q: I have to respond to ron’s comments on CXR .
In a diversified portfolio he would have 10% exposure in Healthcare as recommended by 5i. So the dive in CXR would have a small effect on him overall. Thanks to 5i, I am up 16% from February this year with a diversified portfolio.

Q: good morning:
I own shares in Brookfield property management {bpy] on nyse.
Since it pays dividends in u.s. funds and Canadian dollar so
low would I be smart to sell and buy bpy.un on Canadian side.
Not sure if I would gain since dividend is paid in u.s. funds
Would appreciate your comment.
thanks

Q: I am still invested in CXR.
1) Is CXR going to be bankrupt, or what is the probability of it happening.
2) The current prices are too cheap for a company that has a decent revenues. Missing a quarter earnings and a lower forecast for 2016 is not something that hasn't happened before. I see a reason to be invested in it for say another 2 yrs. Is that reasonable.
3) Is there a thesis to hold rather than selling off now.

Q: Please help me to understand that if 5I doesn t have any more intel on company management than that of the avg investor,what is the benifit of membership?
I, like so many others in this forum have been ambushed with the recent developments and incurred losses leaving me disillusioned
with 5 I research.
I really thought that with 5 i"s connections to the market they had more insight,(cxr hasn't been the only surprise)
Please understand I am not blaming 5i for this,it was my decision at the end of the day. I just don't see the benifits of renewing my membership.
Thank you for the education.
