Q: Good Morning 5i,

Here's a different question guys: I am helping a good friend with his investing. He is a hard core hockey aficionado and wonders if there is any publically-traded company that he can purchase that is related to the game he loves. He already has some Rogers shares. I am stumped. Got anything? Leafs preferred but ultimately doesn't matter.

Thanks!

Kim

Q: Current thoughts on the Score as a long term hold of 1.5% realizing its a risky play. It is my go to app for sports. In the last month I've noticed a big increase in the amount of advertising space. It's mainly short clips from up coming marvel movies. Even though they are noticeable they don't take away from the sports content.

Q: I did not sell it when you advised. Now I am down 80 percent on it. It is in my registered account, so no tax advantage. Do you think it is worth holding if I can, for 5 years? Or should I just run with what I have left. Do you think will this be profitable or will get bought by someone in future(3 years)? Will they need to borrow money next year to survive?

Q: I think I'm ready to throw in the towel on PHM and SCR, being down 54% and 42.5%, respectively. I've been doing the Lazarus Watch on them, but I'm ready to concede these will not be coming back from the dead any time soon.

In that vein, I was thinking of replacing them with beaten up oil/energy stocks, that are more likely to recover than either of these. Some thoughts are: Cequence, Rock Energy, Pine Cliff and Cathedral. What are your thoughts on your favourite one of these, assuming I'm in a fugue state and believe in oil recovery? : )

Alternatively, could you recommend a stock, in any sector, with some good trading potential, with a stock price of under $1?

I know this goes against 5 I methods, and for what it's worth, this is not my usual M.O. I normally follow solid 5 I principles, and have made some very nice returns. (thanks for that!). Rather, this is my Mad Money Recovery Mode -- and wanted to exchange, roughly, share count and dollar value. (I think we all have a tiny "gambling gene" in all of us, otherwise we would never go near the Market, with our hard earned cash.)

If you think PHM or SCR are worth holding onto, on the other hand, I would value your opinion. (I do tend to hold onto to things for the longer term if there is hope of probable recovery.)

Q: Hi Peter, What do you think about Score now-a-days? I bought it from growth portfolio recommendation last year. I am down 75% from my buying price. This is .80% of my portfolio now. Should I just take the loss and move on. I am a Software Architect and recently went to a mobile conference and fortunately spoke to their SVP. He was saying pretty good things about their business and the team(his claim is his team is best in Canada after Google and Shopify). Anyways, I don't know, it is like asking barber if I need a haircut. I can hold on to this for 5 years as it is in My RRSP. But considering your business analysis do you think it is worth holding or should I just switch to something else? Your detailed analysis please.
