Investment Q&A

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

Q: I know you believe a portfolio should not hold more than 20 names, at least i think you believe that.
But if your managing 2 or 3 million dollars in one portfolio, do you still only hold 20 names. In other words my question is no matter the size of the portfolio do you always hold only 20 names.dave

Q: Hi 5i team:

Sterigenics has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Nordion (NDN) for $11.75US/share, with Nordion's Board of Directors approval, a termination fee of $12 Million (US) and a reverse break fee of US$24 million, what are the possible situations would prevent this transaction from proceeding? From previous 5i answers from other stock buyout, my plan is to sell ½ of my shares to the market and the remaining ½ of my shares to tender versus 1/3 to market, 1/3 for higher offer and 1/3 tender since another buyout offer is unlikely to occur. What do you think of this plan?

Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter & Co.
I came across yesterday with 2 names that aroused my interest.
One of them is Knight Therapeutics (GUD-V); same team as Paladin Labs and our Pharma sector in Canada is very limited.
The other is Kelso Technologies (KLS-V) which produces among other things pressure release valves; a very topical subject related to railcar safety.
Could you please comment on them?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: I have seen the discussion on Molycorp mcp, which goes back to Jan 2013 and did not encourage purchasing. How is it now, but, more generally, is there anything in rare earths that should be considered?

Q: Good evening 5i! I am considering selling my WCP shares and converting to NPI shares. I've held WCP for a couple of years and it seems to be doing very little in growth, (I also hold PEY, CPG and BTE in the energy sector). My broker has suggested I look at NPI for a good yield and decent long term growth, (I also hold CPX in the power sector). Can you provide me with your unbiased recommendation on this potential company switch looking at it over the next couple of years.

Thanks for your help and input.

Q: re: SUM

Almost an 8% drop in 2 days and a 15% drop in 30 days. Back in Feb while tracking I had a target price in mind of $6.75. Today it is at $6.48 but considering the big drop, now I am in a sit and wait/nervous to pull trigger mode. Has anything in particular happened to explain such a significant fall? Especially in the last couple of days. Or do you think this is investors still reacting to the CEO selling of shares?

Thank You

Gord

Q: Peter/Ryan:
Do you have a preferred vehicle for holding gold and silver bullion within registered accounts? Are there bullion funds that you would recommend? I have to date used the Sprott gold and silver bullion funds (SPR216/316). They invest primarily in "unencumbered, fully allocated" bullion, which is important to me.

Q: Hi Peter & Team,
Almost all the gold stocks went down today. Is that a sign to jump off the "gold" wagon.
Thanks,
