Investment Q&A

Q: I made an ill-advised investment in Potash Corp some time ago (should have asked for your opinion)and I'm down well over 20%. I was thinking of switching this money into AFN and AGU to sort of stay in sector. Your opinion please and thanks.

Q: Hi Guys. I bought AFN last June @ $46.60. It fell like a knife bottoming end of Feb to $25 and then began rising nicely until 6 days ago, hitting $39. Now 4 straight days down and back to $37. It reports Apr 28. All the gain-back off the low is evaporating, the ag industry (fertilizer at least)seems out of favour (AFN had been bucking the trend), and I worry it is headed right back down. It does have the cash to continue the 6% div. It doesn't seem to be making money, ROE is terrible & book value seems high at 4.5x. Should I get out now while the loss is "only" 20%, wait for the Q1 result and then decide, or simply hang on and when it nears bottom again buy some more on the hope the company will either make some money or that something will act as an upward catalyst someday? Thanks for your thoughts & suggestions.

Q: Your opinion on this company for an income oriented portfolio, please. I can't find any previous questions, and find that to be little strange.
