Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have made over 100% on this one and recently it has really surged. I started with a 5% position and it has quickly jumped to over a 10% position. I usually sell too soon but this time I am reluctant to sell when it is climbing so fast, and I think this is at least a 5 year holding.

Thanks for your guidance!

Q: I am fascinated by the Empire Co. story. I have read some of your earlier replies and would agree that it is a wait and see stock at this time. But some of your criteria for a good stock seem to be in place, i.e. history of increasing dividends, reasonable P/E, Price to Book. And the company is buying back over 5,000,000 share to retire them.

To me, this seems like a true value investment. The stock broke through its very long trend line in mid November. I would wait until the trend line turns back up and re-evaluate at that time but when (not if)this happens, there is a $10 capital gain available. Am I right on this one?

Q: Hi 5I- Have just received lump sum retiring allowance and now 30% cash. Present holdings are 18%GGF31222-10%VUN-7%XEF-7%ZGI-6%SLF-6%VXC-5%ZUH-4%IYT-3%XEH-3%ATD-2%DIS. Would like your suggestions for more etf exposure and would like to start adding slowly with the next downturn, but don't like to sit in cash to long. Would you trim healthcare or USA in general now? We are long term investors. Thanks for your help.

Q: I am an anti-gold bug. I always lose if I ever succumb to the wiles of the yellow metal.
However, i would like to have a single small position in one gold company just in case the gold bugs are right and we are going to hell in a handbasket.

I would like to hold one company which I could put there and forget about but it would follow the metal should it skyrocket. I am looking at the majors ---Barrick and Goldcorp. Which would be better or is there another company which would be better for my purposes?

Q: Re my question yesterday on W.Us, thank you for your thorough assessment. I had asked for other ideas to invest $10,000 USD in any sector. You suggested AMZN, but that would buy only 16 shares. Any other ideas?
