Investment Q&A

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

Q: No question, just a quick update to cal's question regarding preferred shares. prefinfo.com is an excellent resource for those of us without 24/7 access to a bloomberg terminal. It covers call/retraction dates, cumulative/non-cumulative dividends, fixed to float rates, etc.

As a side note Peter, have you considered adding a links section to the site? It could be very useful to have "approved" links on a sidebar, things like sedi, sedar, prefinfo and the like, which are quite reliable sources of information for retail investors.

Q: I am interested in buying Uranium Participation (U). I understand that by owning this stock there is no company risk, but there is, of course, commodity risk. Not sure I fully understand its business though. Assuming that the price of uranium never goes to zero, can this stock go to zero i.e. are there any rolling over of futures contracts or anything like that? I'm assuming a patient investor should be able to ride out drops in the stock price. Can you please confirm?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team
What is a good strategy when instituting Stops to not only minimize losses but also crystallize gains? I have moved up the stop price on some of my current gains but wonder what % should I use in both situations? Would you recommend the same guidelines for more volatile stocks such as AYA ? In the past I have missed out on further gains from temporary weakness but also have incurred more losses hoping for a turn a round?
Thanks for your reply and kudos to the team at 5i for the excellent advice so far!
