Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good Morning,
Just subscribed to your newsletter/site. Fantastic service. As a former Financial Addvisor I share Peter's views with the conflicts inherent in the industry.
I own a few shares in Edleun (EDU). Their business model seems quite sound to me. I wonder if it would be worth averaging down a little on this?
Any thoughts on EDU?
Cheers,
Daryn S. Hobal, CBV, CFP

Q: I would like your opinion of Uranerz URZ (Amendment to annual report and the financing through bonds). Would you agree the uranium companies have bottomed, from what I see it looks like supply is going to be short in a year or 2. thanks

Q: Hello 5I

I am interested in MXF from First Asset. Specifically what do you think about the 25% covered call strategy? Also given the materials sector as a whole do you think that this is a good way to have strong cash flow while also positioning for upside with an eventual market upturn? When I contrast this etf versus say XMA the near term cash flow is extremely tempting at these valuations.

Thanks in advance for the great work and I greatly appreciate your web site and opinions.

Q: What constitutes a "defensive" stock? What percentage of a portfolio should defensive stocks play in today's financial climate? Would you consider the following to be defensive holdings: Any of the big five Canadian Banks, Telus, Enbridge, Cineplex, Power Financial, a food company like Saputo or Empire. If these don't fit the bill I would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you. John.

Q: Hi 5i Team and Peter, I am about half in cash, and considering new investments, but when i look at the steep charts of most of the companies in the A to B categories and in the the model portfolio, I feel like I've definitely missed the boat. Will you be reporting on new companies or turnaround stories so new investors can capture some similar growth?
I feel pretty good about AYA, which I own (thanks for that one), and, I'm looking for similar stories. I don't need a dividend, and I have a very high tolerance for risk. Would EQI be one that I should consider. I like the fact that 5i knows management and expects rapid growth in 2013, but as a poker player, I feel I understand the gaming business better than the "mortgage" business. If not EQI, can you recommend a couple of other stories that are just "beginning to unfold"?

Q: Hi Peter and Team

I am still holding Zargon (ZAR)with a pretty big loss. But every time I go over their material on their web site, it looks so attractive. I am usually pretty disciplined selling losers in December in order to lower my capital gains taxes but I may not do that this year. This is the big year for capex on their ASP flood technology but if that works it looks like gravy from 2014 on. I guess that is the big risk. It looks like a good risk to me. I am also considering buying some more. I have lots of capital gains to more than balance off my loss position so I am not hurting from a portfolio point of view. So what do you think of it at its current price and my thinking. Thanks

Ross
