Investment Q&A

Q: I own FTS BCE T. I am thinking of swapping BCE for AQN. Your thoughts please.

Q: Does your opinion of cbl change at all after their 2nd q results release? I have about a 2% weighting (as of today) in an rrsp acct, down about 30%. I'm think of selling considering all the quality stocks with far fewer "issues" that are on sale right that I could replace it with. After watching what happened to efn after a rumor and no short interest, it has not recovered at all from it's significant drop so I can't see anything, other than a prompt privatization of cbl, that will turn it around. I don't think this q results will help at all either.

on a side note I think it could be a wise move to basically sell all stocks just before earning seasons and wait for the dust to settle before buying back. all stocks that miss, a lot that meet, and even some that beat get clobbered with very few that make a good run after a beat, dr is a case in point here which I hold. even with trading fees (about $5/trade) this seems like a very profitable possible strategy. I know it's not your style to trade like this but with the markets being as reactionary as they are with the hedge funds and day traders so active a swing of 10% plus swings could be very profitable and more than offset the very few that seem to move up on earnings.

thanks Tom

Q: Good morning, I am really concerned about PKI, do you see further downside and if so what is causing the selloff. Should I salvage the small profit I have left and try to get back in later/
Many thanks

Q: Hi, in a bad market, a slight miss of whatever metric leads to a big drop of price. It is Ok for long term investors who got in long time ago and had huge gain already and took some profit. What is your recommendation on the above mentioned stocks for those lone term investors just bought in recently. Buy more, hold or sell? Thanks.

Q: Good morning gentlemen,
What are your thoughts on the earnings? Does the stock still merit a hold? I get the feeling that the allegations are a little simplistic for a company and a man who seem to be as thorough as they come?
