Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is it time to average my cost on precision drilling. Own it at $13.00. Insiders are buying. I have held it for so long it seems ridiculous to sell it now but I do not want to wait another four years to maybe get back to even. Is there something better out there to put the measly funds I have left in this company?

Q: Hello, I have a question regarding the bounce back potential/probability of some of my energy stocks. Irregardless of the rest of my portfolio.

since the recent peak in stock values I now have a drop in these:

Sgy 23% down
Rrx 24% "
Pey 29% "
Vet. 12% "
Hwo 6% "

I've done exceeding well on all, especially sgy. Consistently however 5i lists Sgy well below vet in terms of "likeing it".

Considering selling half of my 150,000 shares of Sgy and plugging into one of the others.

What are your thoughts? If Trump/border issues clear up and oil gains, how would you list these stocks in likelihood of gaining the most by percentage? And, is "by percentage" the intelligent way to view this?

Side request - could you refrain from short forms of industry lingo. I read many answers you provide members and between typos and lingo I'm sometimes lost as to your meaning.

Many thanks, 5i has been the number one reason my portfolio has been a success. It's greatly appreciated.

Dave

Q: I believe the main reason for the sudden drop in HWO over the past few days is that a stock advisory service, which had been recommending HWO as a buy for the last few years, suddenly issued a SELL recommendation, due to risk of lower oil prices and declining cash flows. The notice came out at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (1PM EST) on Wed, and the stock price dropped immediately on sudden large volume.

Q: Despite TCW (Trican) having tripled in the past year, it is still far below my purchase price of $18.73 thus I am not too enthusiastic about the company especially considering your responses to others' questions. I also hold some shares in TDG (Trinidad) which I have suffered about a 15% loss. First, I question whether the drilling and oil services area is an area where one should invest as to me it just seems like a hole to throw money at. If I should continue to invest in the area should I perhaps sell one or both of Trican and Trinidad and then buy HWO (High Arctic Energy Services)? I do not need money immediately and have at least a five year investment horizon. As always, I appreciate very much your advice.
