Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, about the recent question from Brad, who, like many of us is left clueless when recent changes to Globe Investor Watchlist app resulted in loss of a very useful feature which updated news as and when released from various news wire sources for the stocks on the watchlist. I am now using Yahoo Finance ( I think it's free), where I have uploaded my Watch List and most news releases are updated as and when out. The only issue is that, Yahoo Finance also posts Motley Fool/Accesswire articles, frequently, linked to these stocks, but are of no use for me. I am reasonably OK with this.

Q: This is for Brad,
I set up a lot of "alerts" at my online broker to get information relatively quickly.
You can also set up an account (free) at CISION (newswire.ca) under "MY SERVICE" to receive company releases by e-mail.
Hope it helps.
John

Q: Hi Peter,

Please list 5-6 mining stocks (other than gold) for growth. I own TV and TECK.B at 2% weighting each. Medium to high risk, short and long term.

Thanks.

Q: Hi, could you look at the chart for MFI, especially since March 1, 2018? It's the oddest chart. The on balance volume has been going up while the share price has been going down. My understanding is that such a trend could mean shares are being accumulated, often by a fund. Such a divergence often leads to a pop in price. Indeed, that's what happened to MFI on April 12, where it went up 3%. Then on April 13 it went back down 3%. On April 16 it was again up 3%. And today, April 17, it is back down 3%. What do you make of these observations, if anything? Thank you.

Q: I am underwater on both of these stocks. Gas prices are up, they both issue regular dividends but I don't see upward movement in the stock price. I have kept them because the dividend is regular (for now). Overall portfolio weightings aside, do you believe I should be adding to these or do you think there is still a downward trend in the sector.
Thanks
Jim

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Wondering if you can give me some direction in finding a watchlist/portfolio tracking tool that shows (near) real-time headlines of press releases and other related news (as it's published) in a column beside the list of stocks.
Globeinvestor used to be configured this way, but they have made many recent "improvements" to their tools. I can find new press releases, but I have to go into a menu for each individual stock. This is very onerous, as there are about 80 different stocks from several countries in my watch list. I have asked the Globe's Help Desk if changes will be made. They replied that other Gloveinvestor subscribers are also asking for this, but they can't say if/when changes will be made to add to or change the current configuration.

I asked for advice through the 5i Forum, and as such, set up a watchlist on Morningstar. However, I find many of the news items/press releases missing, or not published in a timely manner.

I know I am missing out on some important information that is affecting my potential trading decisions. Sometimes this works to my advantage (so that I don't make knee-jerk decisions), but for the most part, I would rather know what's happening with my stocks sooner than later.

Thanks very much,

Brad
