Investment Q&A

Q: I bought QCOM a couple of months ago with the intention of holding this longterm for the dividend. In light of the potential takeover by Broadcom, what should I do now and/or if/when it gets taken over? If I have to find a replacement, which US tech-sector stock would you endorse for a generous, stable dividend (preferably >3% if possible) and modest growth, for a longterm hold?

Q: Hi 5i team,
first, really like the new website, especially the company section.

I've been thinking of adding GC to my holdings. They are to report in early November, would you recommend I wait for the results or is it OK to add before given the recent pullback?

Also, in your research report you mention that you would like it if they would start paying a dividend. Has management ever discussed this in the past during conference calls or otherwise?

Thanks for the great service.
Daniel

Q: I am considering selling my position in TOG and replacing it with ENB. I have held TOG for 3 years, its finally increasing in price ( I am down approx. 13%) and ENB is becoming a more attractive price, with a higher yield. I have equal weighting of 15% in both. Would this be a good decision going forward.
Thank you!

Q: Good Morning
For the last 12 months the insiders have sold stock worth $22,593,000 and bought stock worth $1,835,000.

Is this cause for concern? Is the dividend safe?
Thanks

Q: Wolfden seems to be on the move lately since announcing they would be purchasing a base metal project in Maine with a subsidiary of Altius Minerals. What are your thoughts on the company and where do you see it going? Is this the beginning of the run like the first version of Wolfden experienced some years back.

Q: Any idea when you will be publishing the monthly update on the portfolios?

Thanks,

Q: What do you expect will the the effect of today's announcement:
"HIVE Blockchain Announces Release of Shares from Lockup", which states that "24,636,705 common shares originally due to be released November 15, 2017 will be released on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 to allow for more market liquidity".
In general, I would expect that an increase in supply will cause the price to fall... But perhaps it is not so simple? What would you expect from this? Also, it is only bringing it forward by a week, so investors may have known about it. Mind you, I expect the vast majority here are retail investors, who may not be aware of such details, and are just buying the trend/hype.
I know predictions are almost impossible, esp. in a case like HIVE, but I would like to know your thought process when evaluating this kind of news, what points you consider most important, etc. (risk, of course, is already off the charts.)
Thanks!

Q: Hi RCII received another, lower offer, from same party as in past today. The stock is up significantly this morning, but ~20% to make between now and $13 offer price. Why do you think there is the large gap between market price and offer price?

Q: Hi Team, Every day for the last week I have been following this stock on the OTC website. My friend bought some 30 days ago at .30 cents, today the stock is $2.29 and he is now up 660%. How can this penny stock be rocketing into outer space with an average daily trade volume of 20,000s? I mean look at the OTC site...the share offerings are in the 100s. It seems to me it's breaking all the trading rules ever thought of. Up, up, and away.....how high will the stock go....and there is no news and no Insider trading?? CRAZY!!!
Can you explain to me both what is going on how is it going on with this stock? PS I have not bought any stock yet. Thanks Team, can't wait for your reply on NRBT.

Q: Follow up question. I'm using Google Chrome and searching for "sector allocation" in the question by text search. It comes up as no questions. Also I ticked the public question and you answered as private. Just wanted to bring to your attention. Thanks
