Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am always leery of a company where the insiders do not have any or perhaps very few common shares--Instead they have--options--multiple voting shs--performance share units--subordinate voting shs etc.Common shs mean to me you got some skin in the game--I dont understand all these other classes of shs---TOY is a good example of this.I dont like options thats no commitment at all and hurts the share price.Should I be concerned about these other classes of shares? What do they all mean?
Thanks--I have just had your portfolio review and find it very helpful--would reccommend it to any body.

Q: Hi, I have the above stock in non registered account. As of today I lost $4000 US , bought it at 102 and now $67 $ US. What do you recommend? Sell it and claim loss or wait till it recover or add more to it. I added to it when it became $70 US. But it seems it is not doing well. I appreciate your ultimate decision on it or if there is any US solid stocks that you recommend. Thanks
