Investment Q&A

Q: In my TFSA I have a 3/4 position in CXI and have held it for a couple of years. Have 1/4 position in PHO. How would you view selling CXI to buy PHO? Sector not an issue and looking for the one with the greatest growth potential. Willing to hang on to CXI if you think it has a future.

Appreciate your insight.

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.
