Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Peter,
Avigilon has, rather quietly, doubled in price since its lows of this past November. I'm probably almost back to my break-even point. (Though yes, I realize the stock doesn't know that.) Last November, I would have jumped at the chance to get out of the investment 'even'. But if the recent gains portend good things ahead, I'm fine with holding. What are your current thoughts on the company for a longer term hold? Thank you!

Q: Home Capital has given many billions of loans over the last 4 years. In the event that a large number of loans were fraudulent, and the executives have covered-up the truth, I imagine that at this very moment, thousands of borrowers could be running behind in their payments, and eventually default. If that happens, who would take over those mortgages? Big-banks don't deal with those profiles, so which financial would absorb those loans?

Q: I have half positions in CCL.B, ZCL, GSY,ECI and PHO; full positions in SIS,KXS,SHOP,PBH and GUD. Growth from 'good' companies is my only consideration and I have a 10 year timeline. These companies are part of the growth portion of a balanced portfolio.
Please provide guidance on the following 2 questions:
Could you rank my half position companies with growth potential as the sole criterion.
Is it reasonable to increase one's stake beyond a full position in any company that has excellent future prospects? If yes, please rank my full position companies based on growth potential.
Thanks for your excellent service, as always!
