Investment Q&A

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

Q: Regarding Ronald's post on the value of NOT using stop losses in IPL's quick drop and bounce case. The flip side to that argument is easily demonstrated by my position in Goldcorp. If I had used a stop loss as I normally do, I would not be sitting on thousands of dollars loss in this position. Buy and hold is a miserable solution when "good" stocks go bad, which they all too frequently seem to do. My normal habit of being willing to summarily dump losing stocks early with stop losses, has now been enlivened considerably.

Q: Hello 5i team. You last commented on Russell Metals (RUS) a couple of months ago, when it was in decline. Its price has continued to drop, including over 2% today in a rising market. Just wondered if the fundamentals had changed or if it's still just going through a bit of a bad spell? What would the catalyst be to turn things around?

Thanks as always for your valued input.

Q: Hi Peter and team
I notice Health Lease REIT(HLP.UN) has acquired another property from Mainstreet Property Group. Do you think they are getting these properties at a fair price? They mentioned the appraised value but there was no mention of cap rate. What do you think of the deals they are making with Mainstreet and what do you think of HLP.UN in this market climate?

Thanks

Ross

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: You mentioned the potential for the flooding in the western prairies area to impact drilling operations on effected lands. I'm wondering more broadly about whether you have any thoughts on other businesses that may be impacted significantly. Unfortunately located REIT properties come to mind on the negative side but there must be other examples. I don't know whether there are "clean-up" oriented businesses that might actually may do well as a result of the disaster. Can you expand my thinking here with suggestions of any stocks that bear extra-careful watching while the waters recede? Thanks!

Q: Peter & Co.,

2 of my core holdings, BCE and Emereging Markets (PIE-N), have just been getting crushed recently, for very different reasons. Are these sell offs overdone, or is there more pain to come? I consider myself a long term investor, but how much longer can I let these stocks be an anchor to my portfolio?

Thanks.
