Investment Q&A

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

Q: Intermap, IMP is a small Canadian mapping company that I own a small position in, as it is being touted quite heavily in another newsletter I subscribe to.

There's lots of talk about the mega deal they signed, how much of it will actually end up with IMP as profit, and whether they'll land another whale or two. Talking like $2 is reasonable...

Thoughts from 5i?

Q: It seems to me, based on market action and even the number of related questions here, that there is an expectation that the oil industry (and mining in general) is soon going to make a comeback and people are antsy to jump back in. Being old enough to have seen other cycles, and from what I read about world inventories and production, I really don't believe we're going back to boom level revenues again until the supply and demand sides cross again going in opposite directions. And this usually takes years, not months, or quarters. Do you think this dynamic currently exists, and is it holding back prices of other companies with money 'waiting in the wings' for an oil recovery?

Q: The growing uncertainty about Apples short turn prospects (they have nearly 14.5% of this ETF) & the general flat performance of Googles Alternates have resulted in a rather poor quarter for XLK. Looking for your advise on either an alternate ETF or 3 to 4 of your best pics for a 1-2 year hold - Approx. $150K. Thank you.

Q: In the last few weeks, you've mentioned both these companies as good prospects in the gold sector, if gold continues to churn higher. What % weighting would you advise in a balanced portfolio? Are they worth the same weighting as AEM, for instance? (Already owned.) Thanks
