Investment Q&A

Q: Probably not the best time to ask this given all the current excitement buy how do you guys determine which stocks and how many you cover and do you consistently try to weed out the weaker companies (c rating and below?) and replace them with stronger options?
Is there a fixed # of stocks you will cover and what criteria do you use to drop a stock?

Q: ACQ was added to the S & P/TSX composite buyback index. Is it significant to shareholders?

Thank you.

Q: For a long term investor, a market correction could be considered a "sale" on good companies. Which good companies do you think represent the best buying opportunities in this market correction for an investor looking for growth.
Thanks as always,

Q: Hello 5i team. I currently hold shares in both trp and ppl. They have both had a good ride over the last few years Can I get your take on them? Should I continue to hold them or sell them to buy other pipelines? I know you recommended enbridge a few days ago. Thank you

Q: hello 5i Team,

First, am loving the correction and the opportunities it is providing. With that in mind I would like to hear your thoughts on PRW.

There is tons of commentary regarding the BC LNG proj and the probabilities of it moving forward in the foreseeable future. There is no question it would do much for the BC economy. For every positive comment you hear, there are just as many negative comments stating it may not move forward for many years.

My Questions???? PRW has many projects in the works. How would their prospects be effected IF the LNG project did not go forward in a reasonable time frame? What is you thoughts on whether it will or will not go ahead? And lastly, what are your thoughts on PRW in general (sell, hold or buy) at this time with the pull back in full force?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Anything look like a screaming buy according to your screens?
And yes, I am old and have gone thru this several times.

Q: Hi Team,

General question. If I have unrealized gains in certain stocks (take AYA for example) would it not be wise to cash in these gains and top of several stocks that have dropped sharply? BAD or AVO would come to mind.

In addition I was quite over weight in SGY. I like the stock and think it will rebound (I get the sense you agree as well). However I was thinking of cutting my position from ~10% down to 5% in order to redistribute these funds to the above mentioned stocks or possibly others (BDI, MCB etc...) that have been mentioned in your questions section.

I suppose in summary I realize that selling now is not ideal (as everyone else seems to be) but are there certain times when freeing up money in your portfolio to buy stocks that have been hit hard is a good idea?

Q: Lucara has had a significant pullback since August but fundamentals in the diamond market continue to be strong with generally rising prices and demand while supply is struggling. Lucara itself has been building a strong cash position with increasing revenue. Should one be overly concerned with the share price drop from the high $2 range to around $2 or is it likely just consolidation after a strong run?

Q: Hey Team,

CSX will be reporting this coming Tuesday. On doing some research this is what is expected...

4% increase in sales to $3.13B

$0.47 earnings per share which is a minimal 2% gain reported same 1/4 last yr

questions...

is this what you have found?

if this is accurate, what would you expect share price to do after the reporting?

and finally, would you consider CSX a sell, hold or buy at this time?

Thanks for all you do
