Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,

I read the IMF has warned about the system risk posed to the financial system, including insurance companies, by Deutsche Bank. I own shares in GWO. Should I sell the shares and allocate the money into a safer company. If yes, which company would you recommend?

Thank you!

Q: OK, I will try this again (please disregard my previous attempts (2) (uncompleted questions). With all the ganging up on Wells Fargo is this a good time to buy? It is wery near a 52 week low as I write this. Also should this not be in your database as WFC.US?

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

Your latest report on MDA ends with "We believe the lack of cooperation in the shares needs to be reflected with a downgrade in the rating."

Given that your last report for KBL gave it an A- rating, and it isn't performing as well as in the past, if you were writing a new report for KBL, would it also be downgraded a notch or two?

We hold KBL in several accounts, and I'm contemplating a switch in at least one account, but welcome your valued advice, as always, before making any moves.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I will not be offended if you choose not to answer this question...firstly it is a USA company and secondly it is a contrarian play. In having owned oil stocks during this downturn I am painfully aware of the risks involved. I am analyzing this company which has hugh upside if it can survive another year or two. They are being kicked out of the S&P600 on Oct. 3rd to be replaced by a healthier company. Since they are owned by mutual funds I expect there will be a further sell off. So how would you rate there survivability...there balance sheet, management strength and overall impression of this company within there sector.
Thanks for tackling this out of bounds company...
Respectfully yours...

Q: Yesterday, is was reported that Artis is "looking to sell retail and industrial assets in Alberta worth about C$300 million ($227 million) to diversify away from the oil-producing province"

This was not a corporate release. As an investor would have prefered to hear they had sold, rather than they are trying to get out of Alberta. In fact, I hate the idea that they are trying to unload Alberta assets now -- sounds like 'buy high sell low'.

Do you believe that they are is such a precarious state that they must unload these assets now? Would you be a buyer or seller of AX.UN now?

Q: Greetings,

Your thoughts on the latest short-attack article would be appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I have Nxpi semiconductor stock in both registered and non-registered accounts both with positive gains. With the news of a take over what would be the best approach going forward. How do I know when to sell, do I wait for a formal offer as the news appears that they are only in talks with qcom at this point in time. I am thinking of putting the non registered US dollars into Oclaro Oclr-q.

Thank you
Mike

Q: I own shares in this company and wandering what you think of this deal with Kirkland Lake Gold. What should I do with my shares at this time?

Q: I own both Kirkland Lake Gold and Newmarket. What will this new merger mean to my portfolio? (I have a 2.5% position in each.) Thanks so much for your advice. Don't know how I ever managed without 5I!

Q: Could I have your comment on SNC's press release today please. I have 35% gains on this stock, 5% of my portfolio.

Q: Unfortunately I was exercised on my call options and do not hold a position on EFN presently. Going forward to maintain my port. between the 2 companies, shall I repurchase both or will 5i have a preference to one over the other?

Just wanting to reestablish a position.

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Can you help me understand what will happen to my 500 shares of EFN, bought @ $13.91, when they split into two companies on Oct 4th. What will I end up owning?? 250 shares of each company or what?? Will I lose any value and how will they value the worth of each of the two separated companies? This is all new stuff to me. I look forward to your explanation

Thanks for your help
