Investment Q&A

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

Q: Years ago I bought CJ at $4.20 and recently sold it when it reached that price again. Obviously, a mistake as it is now $7.72. I own WCP and VET which are now back to my original purchase price.
What do I do ? The oil and gas sector is cyclical and I wish to exit this sector as am retired and rely on a safer higher dividend portfolio but do not want to repeat selling these too early. Do I follow analysis target price and /or other metrics, or do I just bail out , happy to get my money back? Thanks .

Q: I own 18 US Stocks and have losses in the following 6:

1) D.R. HORTON is down 13%
2) ULTRA CLEAN HOLDINGS is down 23%
3) CROCS is down 43%
4) QUIDEL is down 47%
5) CO-DIAGNOSTICS is down 59%
6) FULGENT GENETICS is down 11%

My Portfolio is 20% in cash so I can take advantage when a particular stock is down for no good reason.

All the above are small holdings, and therefore I am able to easily lower the % loss by adding to my holdings, and hoping that once the market recovers, I can sell them for a smaller loss.

Which of the above would you add, and your reasons why ?

Which of the above would you sell, and the reasons why ?

Thank You.

Q: I purchased TFI INTERNATIONAL and ATS AUTOMATION TOOLING in October 2021.

My returns until today are as follows:

TFI INTERNATIONAL is down 4%
ATS AUTOMATION TOOLING is down 14%

Each of the above holdings are only 3% of my Portfolio and therefore I am able to add. Right now, more than 20% of my Portfolio is in cash.

Which of the above would you recommend that I add to based on today's price, and your reasons.

Q: Hi,

A question was asked on March 16 about both GOOG & GOOGL splitting in July. (yes, for both).

I checked and it looks like the CDR version trading on the Neo exchange will follow suit as well, but there is a twist.

From the CIBC-CDR website: "... CDR holders will experience the same economic impact of a share split as they would if the underlying security (GOOG:US) were held directly."

They go on to say, it could either be an automatic increase in the number of CDR shares held (at the same 20:1 split) or it could be an increase in the "CDR Ratio", also by a factor of 20.
Either way it's equivalent, but I'd rather see the extra number of shares showing up in my portfolio, as opposed to just having the CDR Ratio get adjusted in the background by NEO & CIBC.

I guess we will know more in July.

Q: They just released new drilling results and I need some insight. Are these results in line with expectations or perhaps below?

I know this stock has a long way to go but I have a small position and I’m considering adding to it as a long hold.

Are the drill results good and do you have a favourable long term outlook for this stock?

Thanks
