Q: Hi 5i,
A while ago i wrote and asked about selling ATZ because it had risen substantially, and you advised "we think one of the worst reasons to sell a stock is because it is up". I heeded your advice, did not sell and presently, I'm very happy I asked and that you answered as you did.
Which brings me to my question(s):
I hold DBM and after I bought in it dropped considerably and I was down just over 20% for what seemed like quite some time. Recently it's been climbing, to the point I'm now down 5%. I put a fair amount in (for me that is) so the money involved is significant to me. Along with hoping for capital gain, the dividend was a motivating factor in my buy in.
EQX did the same thing after I bought in and at one point I was down just over 40%. It has now recovered to the point that I'm down about 18%. Monetarily speaking I don't have nearly as much on the line as with DBM, so my level of concern is considerably less.
If these stocks continue their recent trends and continue to rise, would the advice you gave for ATZ hold true for them, or would you advise me to let them go if they get to or near my buy in?
I ask because I expect - but am not sure - that the advice not to sell just because a stock is up may not hold true in every situation, depending on the names in question. Your thoughts regarding DBM and EQX in this context will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Peter

Q: Would appreciate your providing comments on DBM results released after the close yesterday Nov 4. It increased it's dividend and is now yielding 7.8%. The stock hit a 52 week high in April of $10.83 and pulled back significantly to a low of $6.13 in September. Analysts had a average target price of $11.29 in August. It closed Nov 4 at $7.18 I checked your list for Canadian Stocks Tax Loss Selling and it is not included. I'm wondering if you think the worst is over and its okay to buy now? Thanks
