Q: Hello thanks for the great service, in the years I have been a member my wins are far exceeding my losses. SHOP has been going up like crazy so I sold some for balancing purposes and still know a number of shares. Is there any news on why it is moving up so fast I cannot find anything?.
Thanks

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Yesterday I read an article in the Financial Post that was talking about how the Liberal govt was planning on putting aside 25% of the existing total allowable catch of Arctic surf clams to issue a new license that will be open to expressions of interest from “Indigenous entities” from the four Atlantic provinces and Quebec. I hold shares in CLR and I'm concerned that this could be a potentially massive setback to the companies operation. Especially since they have recently been investing heavily in new ships.

Is this old news and already accounted for in the share price? Or do you think this is the time to sell my shares in the company?

Q: I own half position in the 3 financial companies noted as well as some solid banks (BNS as an example). I am down in both CBL and GSY while doing alright in ECN. GSY has been on a move in the right direction lately, is it worth selling cbl with loss and go full position in GSY (I am down some as well)? Should I stay the course. My weighting in financials is at max. A little trimming would be OK too

Q: In these times of rising interest rates, I am wondering if it is better to own rate reset prefs or perpetuals? Also are all REITs better on the back burner for now, or are there some that still look attractive?
Thanks

Q: According to the experts in seasonal investing, September is statistically the worst time for markets, but then things start to pick up again later in October and into November. Would you let this consideration influence your investment decisions? I have capital to deploy but I'm wondering if I should wait another month or so before I start new positions. Also, are foreign markets (Europe, EM, Japan, etc) subject to the same September curse, on average? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi Guys,

I have a very well diversified portfolio(thanks to you guys)you really do provide an excellent service. My question is why on earth do I own lucara, please give me a reason not to dump. I have a balanced position, don t mind holding for years but also don't mind taking capital loss. Is it worth holding?

Thanks again, keep up the good work.

Q: Smart REIT keeps falling. Are rising rates clouding the outlook? Do you think it's wise to keep holding, or would you actually buy more? I'm not in it for income. Similarly, would you start a position in RIOCAN today? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: I have room for an Industrial holding, and looking at either Boeing or Argan. PE on AGX better than BA, although I have read your recent comments about BA. If you folks wanted to buy only one, which one would it be, and perhaps a little justification?

Q: I currently own TD and SLF in financials. I am very dissapointed in SLF's performance. I thought it would do well when interest rates increased. We've had two rate increases and I'm down 5%. I was thinking of replacing it with BNS. That means I'd have two banks, one with US exposure and the other with international exposure. What are your thoughts on this?
