Q: Disney missed earning slightly. Do you think current price decline is justified? I own Disney at much lower price. Should I sell to take the profits at current price? Thanks!
Q: Hello 5i,
My 16y old just got a job!! so I'm helping put together an investment portfolio. Basically its the MoneySaver ETF portfolio minus the fixed income and gold ETFs, also I've added ZRE for a total of nine ETFs. The plan is when $1200 dollars is made at the new job, one of he ETFs is bought. To me this seems like a good start, maybe even a finish depending on the interest in investing. What do you think?
Thanks,
Q: Hello Peter & Co,
There are obviously a variety of metrics to measure the valuation of the stock. I usually look at the ratio ROE/forward PE which should be above 1; you mention in your report on BIN that, due to its capital structure, EV/Sales and EV/EBITDA are better metrics. Could you please explain? How does the average retail investor parse the various ways of measuring valuations?
Thanks,
Antoine
Q: A few months ago I asked you about Vogogo and you said it was overvalued/expensive so I didn't buy it, and it has since fallen almost 50%.
What do you think of it at this price? It just raised $12M in funding and seems to have good growth prospects.
Q: Hi 5i Team,
Riocan dropping quickly. Is there anything new or is this just the interest rate fear again. How would you feel about just exiting the REIT sector for now? Have lot6s of other financial exposure. Peyto seems to be in the same trajectory.
Q: First I want to say what a great job Peter did today on BBN.I know you are not familiar with a number of US co. but was hoping you might have something on this co.Thanks
Q: I think I know the answer to this question but I will ask anyway. I bought NGD IMG and TA as recommended by David Stanley BTSX several years ago. All have cut or reduced dividends and my capital has been seriously eroded.Time to move on and sell. Thx for selling FM. I cant believe several months ago this was promoted at over $16.50 by the brokers. What a joke.
Thx for all you do.
Lets say I initially buy a 4% position in company xyz. Over the course a few months that position gets whittled down to 3% due to either share price decline or due to the rest of of the portfolio performing well while xyz does nothing.
For portfolio rebalancing purposes, would you consider that xyz position to be either now 3% of the portfolio, because that's what it represents currently, or would you consider that xyz position to be a 4% weighting because that's what it was when you initially made the purchase.
If you like the company, is there anything wrong with buying more (with existing cash in the portfolio) to bump up the weighting closer to that initial 4%, or do you say "my initial position was 4%, I'll wait till xyz's share price performance catches up to the rest of the portfolio?
I'm using "xyz" as a theoretical example because I'd like to know what the general rule is, or does it really depend upon the stock, MacDonald Dettwiler for example.
