Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5i team,
What is "consumer discretionary"; could you give me examples of securities in that sector? For example would you consider that LNR and MG which serve the auto industry belong to that sector? After all is the car not the ultimate consumer discretionary?

Q: I have a 2% position in CFN, getting smaller daily. The recent plummet appears to be either capitulation or possibly a large shareholder exiting his position.

Is CFN getting into oversold territory and is it time to add some shares OR is this strategy like the proverbial "catching a falling knife"? At what point do you decide this was a bad investment, take your lumps and move on?

When do they report their net quarter? Thanks.

Q: A Sept. 09 2014 report from Veritas is recommending a Sell of Magna (MG) suggesting that their returns are going to be disappointing over the next 3 years. What are your thoughts on MG? I have owned for about 9 months, and was hoping to hold onto it for about another year or so. Do you think it is a stock that is still worth holding onto? It is about 2.5% of my portfolio. Thanks.

Q: Prairie Sky (PSK): what is your opinion of the new issue and their planned use of the funds? Now that the price is down in the $36.50 range, would you consider this a purchase, for income. Do you view the dividend as sustainable and is there any chance of an increase in the next year or two? How do you think PSK would fare in a market correction relative to conventional O/G producers?

Thanks, Grant

Q: Hi Guys
SVC (Sandvine) is down so far today. Do you think this is a good entry point? There is some share buyback happening and a few good orders/contracts for the company and they have some cash. Also I am hoping to know why the quick drop of 10%. Is it because of overreacting traders? What is your opinion please. Thanks as always for the great things you do.

Q: I have some SPB and I am considering buying more. However, I have a general bias against companies which have diversified divisions. I think that companies should stick to their core business. I could expand on this bias. Do you agree with this bias and, if so, is it a concern in the case of SPB?

Q: Hi guys,can you give me your opinion of "GWG". I've held it since 2011 at a cost of about 0.88 cents even averaging down further wouldn't bring it closer to my cost if there is no hope for the company. Is it worth keeping or would you sell? Thanks, Nick

Q: BYD, SJ, LNR & VET are all currently below their ascending trend line as well their 50 day moving average. Is this a good opportunity to increase my positions in these companies? Is their a reliable technical indicator to take out some of the guess work of adding to good companies? Please do not reply that this is not a factor to someone with a long term perspective. Thank you for your insight.
