Q: Hi Peter. Would there be much point in selling Smart Reit and buying Sienna Sr. Living to reduce my Reit holdings (18%) and increase my Health Care (0%)? I'm thinking they will act the same if interest rates ever rise.
Thanks

Q: I had purchased CXR, aware of some inherent risk, but comforted to some degree by an element of reassurance from analysts I respect - including those at 5i - and held on to cxr, to my huge detriment having lost a significant amount of $ on Friday. This is not a question, but rather an expression of gratitude in the midst of CXR's debacle for the much-appreciated alert you provided us; I sold on Friday to redeploy the funds into something I hope will turn out to be more generous. Thanks again. It's time to move on. Regards.

Q: I know that you are removing from the Growth Portfolio today but what should an investor with real money on the line do that's down 70%. This was a 7% position in my portfolio. Should I just eat the loss and move on or hold for 5 years to see if I get my money back (or at least some of it)? I don't need access to the capital for at least another 15 years.

Q: Hello Peter and Co.
On your guidance I have unloaded CXR. I hold MG and DH, 2 stocks that have had bad years but I still feel are solid companies. I am thinking of adding to these as their valuations seem pretty good right now and I have done well in the past adding to good companies when they're down a bit. What do you think? cheers

Q: Peter and Team,

The market seems to really like Badger Daylighting's Q2. It looks good to me all in all and it seems they are turning in the right direction and performing better but I have to say I don't really see anything there to justify the massive jump I the stock. I would have expected a 4 - 5% move rather than almost 17%. Any thoughts on the earnings?

Marc

Q: Although, I'm generally not a 'trader', I saw this morning that BAD took a leap up, leaving quite a gap, so after holding it for 3 years I sold, with 150% profit, thinking I can probably buy it on a pullback. Would you agree that it is still a good company to have and if so, if you also think there might be a (technical/sector) pullback, what price would you look at to get back into?

Q: For those of us who bought CXR above 60$/share, selling here won't recover much cash and so I wonder, is there a point selling? What if like WIN or PHM, we sell near the bottom? The guidance is reduced, but some of this was out of their control (currency due to Brexit). If there was a fraud, yes, I agree, but EPS is 3.2% down and revenue revised by 18%. Not good, but they aren't the only ones with troubles (Brystol-Meyers and Gildan). At least they are doing something about it: laying off the CFO and cutting the (small) dividend.
