Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own half position in ABT, admittedly for a short period, it has fallen over 8% since my purchase. Recently 5i said " We see it as a BUY, but primarily for income." With a 5% dividend, but sitting on a 8% capital loss, what should an investor do, be patient, average down, or move on to hopefully a better investment?

Q: Is it worthwhile taking a position now or waiting until earnings comes out. I am assuming the drop in the last few days is pre earnings jitters or negative overall market induced as I can find no specific causative news.

Q: Hi,

BEP.UN got hammered today after its Q3 results, which when compared to 2015 Q3 looked pretty good imo. Could you please provide some insight/ideas as to why it was down 4.25% today? And how come they have negative EPS? (is it because of the $200 million in depreciation?)

I plan on holding them for a long time and am thinking of buying more

Thanks for your insight!

Q: I noticed that ZCL price fell from 11.50 to 11 late yesterday afternoon on a large trade volume just a couple of hours before the quarterly report was released. Seems a bit fishy.Is it possible that there was some "leakage" of information. Is this something that securities commission would look into, or is it just too small for them to bother?
It is now down some more to 10.75.
On a related matter, what is your opinion of the quarterly results and the resultant drop in share price - is it overblown? Is it a buying opportunity?
