Q: Still hung up on sell or hold GSY. At 35$ I am down 70%. I know 5I always seems to suggest that not to redeploy cash from taking a loss as a means to make up for the loss.I do not quite get that. Could you explain .Regardless if I choose to sell do you think at today's price of 4.75$ that ZDC would provide more hope for me to recover or a better alternative .Much appreciated .Larry

Q: Good morning. The TSX Venture Exchange has approved the ABI request to implement a normal course issuer bid program, through which Abcourt may purchase, for cancellation, up to 80,000,000 of its common shares.
Is this normal practice at this stage of the companies development and growth?
What does this tell us about the company and what can a shareholder expect from this development moving forward?

Q: Last week I was talking to my 80-something neighbour “Jim” (Canadian resident) who recently returned home from his (owned) condo in Arizona.

Over tea this morning Jim’s spouse Susan broadly shared with us her concern of how messy and drawn-out it might be for her personally to dispose of the U.S. property in the event Jim dies before her. Their adult kids want nothing to do with the condo, don’t want to travel to the U.S., and wonder why their parents continue to own instead of lease.

Jim handles the finances and is a strong and silent type. He jokes with me he is immortal because he has no concrete plans of dying. (wtf?..). In his mind, Susan is concerned over nothing because his will transfers everything to her upon his death. Jim changes the subject when Susan asks about the future of the condo. She doesn’t want the stress of settling the disposition in his absence.

Questions:
In your experience,
1)how common is this situation?
2)is there anything Jim (and people in his situation) commonly overlook in this simple plan?

Q: RE: TD Direct Investing - Stock Lending Program

This idea is new to me, and I’m interested in better understanding the concept.

According to the website, the benefit of participating is the interest the person lending their stock receives, which is split 50/50 with TD. There is no indication of what percentage interest you’ll receive. While I understand interest would fluctuate, without a range, it’s hard to determine the actual benefit or whether participation is worthwhile.

For an individual investor.
1) What are the major pros and cons of participating in a program like this?
2) Are there big differences if using a tax-deferred account vs a taxable account?

Q: Normally, I would continue to hold these stocks – CLBT, SNOW, CSU, TRI, OKTA, HUBS, ADSK, KRMN - but all are in the red and I could use some capital losses for tax reporting. BUT all are rated as strong buys with good potential upside by TipRanks. I think only KRMN reports within the next thirty days. Would you sell any today? And would you buy them back in thirty days? Would I be better to wait until closer to the end of the year? Thank you.

Q: I’ve sold out of GSY after a 5 year hold and am wondering about your feeling about lessons learned. It seemed that all the analysts were very positive and expectations were that any operating weakness would be temporary due to the company’s strong performance history.
Do you feel that investors were hoodwinked?
In retrospect could this have been foreseen?

Q: Hi, 5i team
I have been holding these US stocks for several years. Do you think they are good for long term holding?
Are these company worth adding positions in recent pullback? If so, what entry points you recommend for them?
Any one you think is a "sell" just in case?

Thanks
