Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team;
My question is whether to keep on holding baba or not . It is held in a US cash account so selling would incure a 53% loss as of today. The reason I ask today is that there have been many quality names that have sold off a lot . Just wondering if a switch into a different , more convincing beat down name might be a good move at this point. Ideally I would like as much recovery upside as baba potentially would have in order to try to recover my losses. Which essentially would mean a double from here.
Any names you would endorse switching to that might potentially meet this criteria ? Or do I keep patience and hold. I am a long term investor typically (10yr timeframe or more before retirement ). Thanks

Q: Peter please give me your opinion on HHL. My wife and I are seniors and depend on our investments for income. Looking for as safe as possible div. with a high yield. We already own Canadian banks, pipelines, power generators. and some reits. Will this give us some diversification in the medical field Any other suggestions? Thanks Ken

Q: Further to Josette's question about stepping in to PKI, i was about to step in after latest earnings, that were good, but then they announced 2 aquisitions that will be financed partly with newly issued equity. I have not seen in the announcement the value of these aquisitions, and i question why management would keep this info from investors.
Since i expect the price to go down with equity issuing, i am waiting to buy. Does this make sense?

Q: What has happened to these two? They both have taken a dive. Anything I should worry about?

Q: All things considered equal portfolio wise, which would you chose and why, for a 3-5 year hold.

Q: Peter,

Not a question, just a comment. In a recent question about banks you mentioned you have been wrong about BNS. In my opinion admitting this is a huge credibility boost for you and your service. The easy thing to do is to give the political answer and never admit you are wrong. That " Nadal" spin is what turns me off of politicians. That is so easy to see through. As Greg Bonnell once mentioned on Market Call any advisor is going to be wrong 30% of the time. It the ones that you get right { You have had a lot of them } that chart the real course. Your service has put a LOT of money in the pockets of the subscribers.

Thanks
