Investment Q&A

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

Q: Not the stock. Relative Strength Index and the question is can you tell me where I can find this information when researching stocks, or how to calculate RSI if the former is not easily available online (isn't everything available easily online?)

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

I would like to add Wi-Lan but I would need to sell a company in the same sector in order to make room for it. I'm trying to keep the sector at around 15%. I was thinking of selling Descartes Systems (DSG) in order to make room for Wi-Lan. Please let me know what you think of this switch. Which company do you prefer? Thanks, Mario.

Q: Hello Peter and Team
With the recent success in the Software sector, my RRSP portfolio is very heavily overweight in this sector. I would like your advice on trimming and rebalancing to sectors other than financial or energy that are also overweight.
I currently have now 40% in CSU, DSG, ESL, MDA (with large gains) and SYZ and AVO with significant losses over last year or so.
Would you suggest trimming all back to much smaller positions or eliminating 2 or 3 companies altogether?
With the funds, what 2 or 3 new positions from the new growth portfolio should I consider?
A second question will follow on my Financials!

Thanks for all the help
Peter

Q: Would like to thank Roger regarding the downtime at TD Waterhouse. I lost funds on a trade which I tried to place and 12:00 pm through webbroker, called and was put on hold for 2 hours before a response. I expressed my concern, which went on deaf years and have called and sent 3 emails. I still hold my position today with a sell order in place because of the falling price

Q: Hi 5i:

I'd appreciate your comments on two companies. First, DHX seems to be on a steady slide and RBC Direct gives no news. Is there any news? Second, ATS has also been disappointing for a while. What do you think of its prospects over the next year or so? Thanks.

Q: With today's announcement of the mega-merger between Shell and BG, along with the inevitable fall in the price of oil to the $30 range due to increased production by Saudi Arabia and dwindling storage capacity, I am interested in your opinion on possible take-over candidates in the Canadian energy sector, especially in well-established mid-cap companies. Your opinion please? Thank you.
