Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have notice there is 2 to 3 times volume last week. Is there any news or is it because of interest rate. Will there be any impact if interest rate goes up. Do you think it is time to sell and move to SIA. I am holding both - Csh.un - 5% and Sia - 1%

Thanks a lot

Q: I have 4 companies that make up a significant part of my portfolio (HCG, GIL, ATD.B, SJ). With the exception of HCG I have been trying to sell them at or near 52 week highs. I have been trying to sell them since the beginning of the year and so far I have been unsuccessful. What makes these trades difficult for me is that I would be buying all these companies if I did not own them already. My question is do you use the same approach when selling for portfolio allocation reasons versus fundamental reasons?

Q: After buying CCL.B at $98 less than two years ago, I've just sold off my small position, figuring -- based on my very amateurish technical analysis skills -- that it's in a range of between $180 and $235. I'd like to buy it back again later in the summer. Would you agree or disagree with my thesis, and if you agree, at what price would you put in a standing order? Also, my concern about CCL.B at $235 was the 25 PE multiple my Investorline account shows. I know you like to say "pay up for good companies," but a 25 PE for a label maker?

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on TSXV.AXA as a speculative buy. The company appears to be growing its customer base and the idea of composite pallets for use in the food that can be sanitized repeatedly appears to have merit in terms of reducing the spread of disease. However, the chart over the past year is unappealing and management does not appear to have much of an ownership interest but perhaps I stand to be corrected respecting the latter point.

Q: Ours is a very conservative portfolio, with one third in dividend-paying equities, half of that individual stocks and half no-load funds. The latter's performance doesn't seem to justify the MER's so I would like to reduce, maybe eliminate, that cost, roughly $5,000 per year. Any thoughts you might have on how best to effect that change and what form that should take, eg less funds, more stocks and/or ETF's, will be much appreciated.

Q: Hi, a guest on BNN Market Call tonight, mentioned of another "Short" report out on DH Corp, yesterday. In his words, one should be "fearful" of investing in this stock. He also disclosed that he sold his position after company's recent "horrible" quarter. Have you come across this new "short" report ? Do you find any basis for such strong negative comments ? I have noticed, in past, that sometimes portfolio managers on BNN downplay the stocks, they sold or do not own. I have a full position but may consider adding, if stock gets hit once again. What are your thoughts? Thanks

Q: There was a large trade at the market close yesterday. Assuming it was a fund manager, what is the benefit to both sides of the trade, by doing it on the last day of the month, and does it say anything about the upcoming earnings report?
