Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter,

I just read your article entitled "Five Signs That This Market Party Might Be Winding Down" in the February 2, 2018 issue of the Financial Post.

In this article, you advise that, "Like any good party, there does come an appropriate time to leave." Specifically, you say that if the economic climate changes to a situation with increasing inflation and slower growth, "this would be a sure sign to get out of the market for a period of time."

I have only been a member of 5i Research for a few months, but I have extensively read through your answers to all questions, the blogs, etc., on the website. You consistently advise members that market timing usually doesn't work. This article seems to contradict one of your key tenets of successful long term investing. Has your philosophy changed, or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks.

Brad

Q: I've held this for a while with a cost of $2.10. Is there any hope for it, or should I sell and buy a better growth stock???
Thanks!

Q: Peter; After AVO today I think you should have a new category “TAKEOVER SCORE BOX”. I’ve been a member since 2012 and I’ve lost track of the number of ones I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in. Thank you again.
Post if you wish.

Q: What are thoughts of Peyto at this time? Is it bit of a value trap or would this be a good long term hold?

Obviously the momentum is negative, but I often find the moves more extreme than reality and can be opportunities.

Cheers.

Q: Would you assume greater upside potential for Keycorp or bank of America at these levels?

Q: I want to add one of these two names to my portfolio for a five year time frame. Which of these two securities would you recommend and why? Thank You

Q: I'm interested in taking a position in the forestry sector as this high flying sector is seemingly under the radar. Of the following main stocks in forestry: WEF, CFP, CAS, IFP WFT, OSB, kindly rank them in the order of which ones should have the highest growth potential in the next year or so. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, can you give an update on Tecsys. It has done well recently, but may be overpriced. What is the outlook for the next year or two. Thanks, Gerry

Q: I'd like your view on Bonterra energy to see if it has changed do to the fact the WTI has improved dramatically. I believe Mr Fink the ceo was very positive the last time he spoke on BNN. Could you tell me the type of oil they produce and what would be the price of that type of oil be today.
Thank you

Q: I currently hold hold the 3 stocks and would like to combine them into one. Which one of the three has the best outlook longer term (4-5 years).

Q: I have been administering a 7 figure + portfolio for a good friend. At Christmas he asked me to liquidate $1M as he was feeling nervous. Given the events of last week it may have been a prescient call! In any case I am charged with finding a good short term home for the money and thus have been delving deeper into the fixed income world. There I have encountered "Bankers Acceptances." May I have your views?

Q: Hi 5I,
Would like to find a technology etf for a long term hold that includes the likes of Apple, Amazon, Shopify, Google. and so on. What would you suggest?

Q: I currently own BMO Asian Growth and Income GGF734 and wonder what are your thoughts of selling this fund and buying VA instead?
Thanks

Q: When will Photon release next quarterly report?

Q: I note you think the offer for AVO is modest but the text I have suggests the deal has been done. So is this the case or is there the potential for another higher offer? I also note that the volume of shares sold so far is quite light which might indicate most people think there could be another offer or that the price is low?

Q: In response to Donald, it appears ok to pay RRSP fees outside the RRSP as of right now. However, the CRA is currently reviewing this rule and says that may no longer be the case as of January 1, 2019. A Google search of "rrsp fees paid outside rrsp" will bring up many discussions on this topic.

to where I am by going after mediocre opportunities.” – Charlie Munger

Q: I have a question about Avigilon:
Do you think the Motorola buyout of AVO is fair to shareholders? Would you sell your shares now or just wait for more info, a competing bid, or for the deal to go through?
