Investment Q&A

Q: I keep these three stocks mostly for the dividend (also valuation for XTC), but I also expect stock growth and/or dividend growth. Timeframe up to 5 years. Would you consider theses stocks still interesting for my purpose? In each case, is the dividend safe? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and team, I have dgc over a year in my rrsp account , feel very stupid hesitate to sell it .Hoping gold price go up , share price would go up but it’s not, it keeps falling, what’s going on with this company? On September 27, 2017 your answers on dgc had 12 buys, 5 holds and 0 sell. You said as a larger producer it should move nicely if gold does go higher. It is expect to show good earnings growth next year. What are your thoughts on dgc now and do you see any improvement in stock price this year or should I bit the bullet and sell.

Q: OTEX has been on a downward trend since its high on May 8, 2017. Today @ $41.79 its below SMA (9), (50), and (200). Parabolic SAR (0.01, 0.1) is 41.56 but still showing some upward movement. MACD is trending down, currently 0.3 and below the signal line. The Histogram is below the zero line and trending lower. The Price ROC has trended down from 70+ late in December. Now it's at 0.34%. RSE has followed PROC and has fallen to 43.82 from 70+. What is the cause of this poor performance? Has their marketing strategy tanked? Has the competition found of way of beating them at their own game? Has management tired of doing a good job? Is the company in financial trouble? Is operating cash low? Debt too high? Please give me some reason to hold this stock.
