Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
What Game Plan would you consider executing for the following situations...........?
For all these stocks I have been holding off taking action as there has been no new information to support any action. Now given rapid price decline, I have become concerned about share restructuring and shareholders being diluted to death for the micro caps.
I will be waiting for earnings on the ones still to be released.
While you do not want to hear it, all these except XBC/LSPD were 5i induced purchases so some thoughts on possible action at this point would be appreciated.
None of these are causing me a problem except for being down.
As a Portfolio Manager, how best to manage these positions inside a broadly diversified Portfolio?
If they are to be kept, at some point I will have to either add to the tiny positions or get rid of them. But when and on what information?


TFSA Holdings (where the growth is supposed to be)
QST - down 40%. Size is now at half position size at this point.
XBC - down 38%. Size is now back to near full position size after riding the round trip.
STC - was up 25% and now down 20%, Half position size.

Taxable Account
AT - Down 19%. Sitting on half position since buying on Jan 12/22
ANRG - Down 37%. Sitting on less than half position since buying on Feb 2/22
LSPD - Down 64% on a poorly executed Options trade. Hold only 1/3 position.

And KXS which disgusts me as I knew I should have sold while I watched it at $229. Position size is full position.

Thanks
Dave

Q: What companies are comparable and are they getting decimated like Anaergia Inc.

Q: 5I
I bought a half position in this stock which is down substantially . I understand that it is expecting to have significant growth this year so i`m reluctant to sell and was contemplating adding to it . What would you advise ? I believe they report earnings on March 28 .
Thanks

Q: Hello and thank you for reading I would like to know if you have a handful of Canadian stocks that interest you - say under $25.00, and that you would be prepared to share with us.

Have a great week. Take care

Q: I have losses in ANRG, AT, CIX, DOO, DSG, NVEI, PIF, SPB, STC, TIXT. Would you add to any of holdings or sell?
In what order would you sell?

Q: This stock is trending down in the last few days. I don't see anything that has changed. Would you add on at this time?

Q: Hi:

I am considering buying one of these stocks. Can you rank and comment on the growth potential over the next 5 years?

Thank you

Q: My TFSA holdings are AC, ( even), EGLX ( up), and WELL ( down) in roughly equal amounts , and wish to add another stock having the same weighting. I am looking at the 3 stocks highlighted. My TFSA obviously leans toward riskier growth / special circumstances stocks. I am looking at the three stocks listed above but would consider any of those listed in your growth portfolio. Would you buy any of these three or what other from your portfolio ? Thanks. Derek

Q: Hi- is there any news on this one or just a weak tape taking it down? can you give earnings estimates and report date - thanks

Q: Omitting sectors, which stock MX, ANRG or NTR do you believe has the most potential upside. Risk is not an issue.

Thankyou for your service!

Q: I own a 1/3 position of each of the following: ANRG, GRN, and DNMR, and considering adding a little more to my environmental sector stocks. Your thoughts on these companies and is now a good time to do this? If so, do you like adding to all the above, or something else?

Thx again.

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Although a lot of down positions in my RRIF, I would like your opinion on whether to continue to hold XBC and Acuity Ads; both down so much that they make up less than 1% of the portfolio.
Would you hold on, or switch to a couple of your recent suggestions, ANRG and CTS (that have aslo dipped since your December reports.
Don't worry about tax loss and the RIFF is long term growth.
Cheers, Peter

Q: At today's prices what would your favourite 5, profitable and growing small/mid cap stocks be and 5 profitable and growing large caps be?

Thanks again for your calm, rational reassurances that this is not the first time (nor the last) that the market has taken an ugly turn down ........ and that each and EVERY time it eventually recovers to reach new highs. Its easy to make money when everything is going up, the key is to minimize what you lose (most often by doing nothing) when everything is going down.

Thanks for the wisdom

Q: Good Day Team,
I want to add Clean Energy.
ENPH looks a leader in USA
Would buy it now ? if not can please name 1 or two others stocks you like on Clean Energy in US or Canada.
Thanks
Best Regards

Q: In my TFSA, I have enjoyed the returns of CM, BMO, SLF, SIS. Not so much GUD and XBC. However, still good news. Am thinking of adding one of ANRG, ATA or T.
Very balanced otherwise, willing to take on risk. Please rank or should I add to the conservative side. Please free to suggest others....CTS? Well?

Q: Trying to decide between these two industrial names for a long term hold. Which one would you buy today?

Q: What are the possible reasons for ANRG dropping from a high of $25 in November to the current $17. At one point you thought it was buy at $19. What are your current thoughts?

Q: Dear Peter et al:
You have built a stellar reputation by choosing some very fine winners. SHOP/LSPD/PBH/KXS and others which have gone to become multi baggers to use Peter Lynch's phrase!

From your new picks, your holdings in Growth portfolio and from your watch list which do you think are your next multi baggers? Can you gaze into your crystal ball and share your insights? I won't hold you to your predictions!! :) You may speak freely!! Once upon a time articles used to appear in financial magazines titled, "Next Microsoft is here"!! :)

I am asking this Question specifically to buy with new monies for TFSA/cash in RRSPs and some in non registered accounts. If not stocks , ETFs would be fine too.
Many thanks in advance.
Mano.

Q: Hello. I have the above stocks in my TFSA and I have 6000.00 to add. Can you suggest any other stocks to add to this list or should I just add to the existing list? I have a 5-10 year time frame and I'm retired.

Thanks so much,
Louise

Q: If you had a well balanced portfolio and were looking to add some medium to small sized companies that were involved in industrial activity of various types, how would you feel about each of these companies on a scale of 1 to 10, with a 10 being a stock you definitely want to add right now, a 1 being a stock you have absolutely no interest in, and a 5 being a stock you thought was not bad, but not good enough to want to buy it. Say you have a risk tolerance of about a 7, with 10 being high and 1 being low. Looking for long term total return. ANRG, DIR.UN, FTT, GDI, HDI, ITP, NOA, XTC.
