Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i,

I am new to your service and was wondering if I should buy all the securities listed in the model portfolio at one time or should I ease into them somehow? Any guidance/direction on this would be appreciated.

Thanks so much

Q: I have just done a portfolio review following your system and I gained much more than I expected from the exercise. Once again thank you. This is, if not a life saver, certainly a great time saver. But, it does show that there were many things that I was blind to.
thanks

Q: Both GWO and PWF are offering to buy back shares, is it my understanding that agreeing to sell to them through my BMO investorline account (self directed) that I don't know what price I am getting?

That doesn't make any sense to me. Why would anyone agree to sell for an unknown price, dictated by the company?

How do you think share prices will behave in the next 1 to 2 weeks with this hanging in the air ?

Q: I am break even with Dollerama, and am concerned their growth story is slowing, and am looking at Badger, but here is the dilemma. Dollerama is relatively cheap, compared to it's past at today's share price, while Badger has had a nice run recently, and will probably pause until it reports next, so do I stick with Dollerama and hope it picks up or do I switch over to Badger, knowing it is doing every thing right and is on a roll, but may be a bit late to the party. Not worried about sectors or diversification.
Thanks for your time and expertise!
