Investment Q&A

Q: I have held a small position in GH since Feb. It has behaved well and I like the dividend.

Could you provide a sense of what implications the wildfire in Fort McMurray might have for GH going forward. Currently the stock is down about 8% on the news. Is there an outcome that would lead to a sell recommendation. At this time, the Boomtown Casino has been spared but is vulnerable as is the rest of the town. (Fortunately no loss of lives to date but big property losses).

Q: what are your thoughts on these companies? can you please rank them in terms of upside potential and downside risk?

Q: This might be a tough question but I am pretty sure you would have seen it before. I need strategic help. I can’t seem to sell a losing stock. I am paralyzed by the fear that by selling I lock in the loss. Or that at the current price it is actually the time to buy the stock.
Surprisingly even with this list of losers my portfolio is actually up. Much to the credit of 5i. So I don’t need to sell but can’t help thinking that the money could be put to better use. I am also pretty sure that there could be different advice for each stock. But anyway here is my list. What do you think? Sell or hold?
Please take as many question points as you feel is appropriate.
